Perhaps it is Stephen Kenny's style of management or the confidence built up from last year's European run, but Dundalk know that they have nothing to fear against Rosenborg. Following last week's 1-1 draw in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League qualifier, The Lilywhites took heart from their performance and actually felt that they should have won the game. So going into the second leg on Wednesday, midfielder Robbie Benson believes that they can play their own game and still match up to their Norwegian opponents - who now know what to expect from the SSE Airtricity League side. "I don't think they expected us to be as good as we were but credit to Stephen (Kenny)," said Benson. "Even earlier in the season when we weren't playing well, he encouraged us to get it down and play and we reaped the rewards in the game. "They're probably going to have to play a little more on the front foot and they can't be happy with allowing us to have the ball as much as we did. In saying that, we've earned their respect and they know they'll have a game."
