York City manager Gary Mills told BBC Radio York:
York City needed the win - Mills
"I think it was about getting the win, no matter how we got it we've needed that, I think we've deserved it.
"We kept saying, if we take our chances, sooner or later someone's going to be down three or four at half-time and it's happened today against Rochdale.
"I thought it was very even second half but overall we've deserved the victory."
