Rochdale (A) 29th December

What you seem to be conveniently forgettting is number 4 was wholly responsible for numbers two and three. Had number 4 got 3 and 2 right from the start we porbably wouldn’t have had such a problem with number 1.

Therefore Rahic is the number 1 reason for the mess we were in when he left. Thank f*ck he will never poison this club again with his over inflated ego.

 

Didn’t go today, listened on the radio. It sounded like an absolutely fantastic game. Well done to DH, plus backroom staff who are working miracles with the squad. The players are now working and playing together as a team, they deserve our support and admiration. Long way to go, but we are looking good. Let’s pack VP on Tuesday and repay Accrington

 

This obsession with needing a target man.. when we play how we have you don’t need one

 

Very good comments about the team on Rochdale fans forum, except for the usual moronic behaviour by some (on both sides).
Liked the comment, "kids with not a pubic hair between them."

 

Cracking display no player below 7 for me, I hope we can keep Payne and maybe sign him, he was as unplayable today as young O'Brien was against Walsall, we scored 4 and it could havebeen 6/7 Rochdale had no answers to our high pressing game.

 

4-0 victory and Jodie Comer all in one day, paradise mate

 

Sounds likely that we will sign Ball, to sign Payne permanently would make him our Bradley Dack, give us 3 seasons then move him on for a realistic fee......

 

Oy, Simon Grayson! Watch and learn!

 

Great result and performance.

On to the next.

We still in the bottom 4 and in danger.

 

Your post would have had more credability if you'd posted it at 3pm .
Listening to Pulse Radio after the game the lad Miller has played a lot of games resently so he gave him the day off, he's 19 ffs .

 

This guy from the Rochdale twitter comments

 

We can only win.

 

I'd put number 4 right at the top as that was the catalyst for everything else.

Hopkin was clearly struggling to get his ideas and philosophy implemented due to an egotistical control freak.

Attracting any top staff, such as a highly experienced fitness coach, is a challenge when you have a ruthless dictator at the helm.

As for the injuries, I think some are genuine - it happens - but many were players not motivated to work their way back in to the team due to a toxic atmosphere of fear.

Remove the cause of the problems and everything starts to fall into place, which is why your number 4 was really number 1 IMHO.

 

Get well soon Rod

 

Hilarious after THAT tackle.

 

5) we were not that bad a team anyway. Certainly not a team that should be bottom of the league.

 

We are smashing the teams around us....which has dramatically helped our goal difference as well....we have very nearly reeled in that pack from 31 points to 27...outside of bristol none of whom are in great form...if we can keep this up we could move up the table pretty quickly.
