If Jim was massively at fault, where the hell was McGahey?
I realise it’s not fashionable ever to criticise him when Jim is around to be blamed.
pitman’s an interesting watch. Spends most of the time gesticulating resignedly at his team mates, yet give him the ball in the box and he’s unplayable.
On the third goal, as for the second, Josh seemed to having one of his old flapping days which I thought were long gone. Didn’t get the Thompson change when Wiseman, Kitching or Davies would have had sufficient forward intent not to invite them on.
Puzzling, but overall not disastrous. Yet. |
Well...we lost the ball in midfield and seeing as McGahey often pushed up a little in support of Raff, I assume he was lumping it back as fast as he could. Jim has had a good season but that goal could have definitely been prevented if he hadn't rushed in like a headless chicken. Is that alright? Maybe you and Jim can discuss it during your pillowtalk later on |  | | |

Knott wasn't....
I'd have put Wiseman on personally, as he can attack and defend reasonably well in equal measure. |
Well I should obviously listen better to Sweetmore reading out the subs then.
Normally I try to do the opposite.
Anyway. Didn’t agree with that substitution, that’s all. |  | | |

Thoroughly entertaining game. The beeb described it as pulsating. It was end to end anyway.
Best game I've seen this season and best Dale overall performance (in the league).
Know how Spurs must have felt now although we equalised with a cracker rather than them conceding an o.g.
Thoroughly agreed with sponsor's motm. I said the same as he came off but thought he might be denied after not playing 90 mins.
Clavin immense in defence as always - tracked back for a tackle in front of main stand in second half that any CH would have been proud of.
We scored some really good goals and nearly managed 4 (when was the last time we did that?)
Sometimes the opponents are good and play well too.
Pompey have only scored 53 in 40, however, so us letting in three rather than 1.3 could be seen as a little sloppy. They've also let in 48 in 40 so our 3 was pretty ok really. They seldom draw. They play to win. Good to see a team like that come and play like we used to and are starting to again.
I loved the energy, the pressing and the one touch passing from us today. But we also tried some long balls. The good thing was we mixed it up and kept them guessing and off balance. I also loved how this really got the crowd behind the team. Playing like this we have goals in the side.
Gutted to see those 2 points flushed down the toilet. Like a burglar breaking in and nicking Chrimbo pressies on Xmas eve. Very heartened by the fact that, yet again, we played to the opposition's level and for large parts of the game out played them.
Not going to get on KH's case for his game plan and how it affected the result. MBs up and down the country complain about square pegs in round holes and how things should have been different. They weren't and we came away with a vital point and go again Tuesday against a side that have now scored more than any other in L1.
I hope Tuesday's game is as entertaining as today. Let's hope we can find a way to edge that one and get all three points, like we should have done today. |  |

I thought we were brilliant today. I hope the nature of their equaliser doesn't distract from a performance that should encourage the team. We were better for them than most of the match, we made a few errors and were punished for them all. We're still in this. |  | | |

What do you make of Hill’s comments at the end of his interview about the club banning a fan for being a hater? I sit near the away dugout and can’t really say I have heard anything untoward? You get the occasional moan when things go wrong but that’s always been the case.
I don’t see remarks like that as good PR when the club are trying to advertise for people to come and watch us and Hill is threatening to get rid of people who are already there. Lets not forget that most fans were there before Hill and will be there after, and without those fans, Hill wouldn’t have a club or a job. It’s part and parcel of being a football manager that you occasionally don’t please everyone and like other managers, Hill needs to rise above it. There have already been comments posted on here that people don’t feel that there is a Team Rochdale any more and that they feel that the club don’t like the fans. Why add to that with comments like this. | | | |

Im not angry I am just, disappointed. However I agree with those saying before the game I would take a point. Tuesday will be very tough but at least Wigan won't play negatively which will suit us. 21 points still to play for 10 of those should see Dale safe. | |

I like Hill and am well aware of the fact that he is the best manager we have ever had but this season some of his comments aimed at the fans have been contemptible. That also said I don’t know what incident he is referring to so maybe he should elaborate a little bit more. Did anybody see the incident? | | | |

How is that not a free kick to Rathbone on the edge of the Portsmouth box before Pitman's 1st goal? |  |

Why Lillis isn’t doninating his box and coming claiming the ball on the second and third goal is well beyond me. It’s absolute shambolic and he should be rightly mortified watching those goals back on review. | | | |

If it’s the guy I think, he is very anti Jim McNulty and constantly complains about him every time he gets the ball. Same guy yesterday shouted out that he didn’t agree with Hill’s substitutes and that his decision to leave no forwards up front cost us 3 points.
Personally, whilst I don’t have a problem with people airing their views, you take the rough and the smooth, but he just seems to complain all the time and never acknowledges when they play well. It does affect the atmosphere of the people around him though and if I want to hear constant criticism I would stay at work and get paid for it.
That said, I don’t think it’s Hill’s decision to make and I don’t think there will be anything in the ground regulations to say you can’t say anything negative. | | | |

Just curious - is this behind the away dugout? I sit behind the home and have heard nothing. Sound probably carries better in the direction of travel if he's looking at the pitch. | |

Bit harsh. Second is rank bad defending, third he could indeed have come for the ball before it got to Done but we were so deep by then his position was affected. | |

What is actually said about banning someone? Unless there is something that is so abusive that would require someone being removed by stewards and police, then there isn’t grounds for a ban. Maybe people on the bench could tell the nearest steward if they have a problem, because it’s not their decision to make. | |

Yes, behind the away dugout near to the press box. Same guy that had to be escorted out previously for having a go at the directors when Hill made a gesture towards that section of fans earlier in the season.
I don't see what good banning him would do though as you will always get fans like that that think they know better than someone who has actually played the game and managed for years. When you compare it to the likes of Graham Barrow when he needed stewards protecting him from fans at the fans forum, what Hill is encountering is trivial. | | | |

I don't think anybody around him has a problem, but Hill does, and it's not the first time.
Basically in the iFollow interview, some journalist made a comment to Hill about how the substitutions affected the game and Hill responded with something about there being tacticians sat in the stand who think they know better than him, so maybe he should retire and let them manage the team. The journalist then responded with so are you having trouble with a few fans. Hill replied, no, just one, and he doesn't belong at Rochdale football club. The club need to ban him. It's either him or me. | | | |

Glad he was asked about the substitutions affecting the game. Because they did.
Putting any issue with any individual to one side, the fact is he got it wrong and supporters have a right to say so. We aren’t then declaring we are better at managing the side, merely expressing an opinion that he made a mistake. One which he could just admit and move on. | |

Agreed. He is very thin skinned. Unless someone is being abysuve to the point of shouting insults and swearing at him or threatening violence there is no call for a ban. The main stand mianers have been non existent this season as far as I’m aware. | | | |

I don’t sit near the main stand but I’m told the individual is giving a foul mouthed tirade most matches aimed at Hill and the players. There’s no need for it and I actually agree with Hill over this. Move him elsewhere or ban him altogether.
Yesterday was brilliant forward wise, shambolic defensively. I agree with the Delaney substitution but... |  |

If it's abusive, the stewards need to be told and they should take action. | |

Just another predictable case of Hill deflecting the blame on to the fans. If one idiot is shouting just ignore him. If he's got any ambition to further his managerial career then he's going to have to. How would he cope at a bigger club with 10k+ fans that are a lot less forgiving than the ones at Spotland.
Unless this said fan is being personally abusive to specific individuals then talk of banning him is stupid. | | | |
