Agree with that, the team is a reflection of the managers pleasant personality. It lacks passion, devilment and a appetite for a good scrap. If our opponents want the result more they will invariably get it..Oldham/ Boston/Maidenhead, teams we should have beaten had we had a winners mentality. McNulty was quick to point out how flat the performance was at Maidenhead, at a time when they should all be chomping at the bit with the play offs approaching and a possible appearance at Wembley. The fact they were so flat reflects badly on the manager, hes paid to motivate them.Thats a real worry. It's suggested Bird might not be fit until the end of the season, in that case we need another forward, i think Thursday is the deadline to do that. Mitchells mind is elsewhere, thats obvious.

We have needed another forward all season but the need for another Bird has never been more evident. Finances allowing, bringing in a bustling centre forward for the rest of the season is a gamble most people would be prepared to take assuming there is one available.. we have already gone through the better part of 40 players, 1 more hardly seems significant on the cost side but highly significant to the benefit column. The need is proven, the prize is huge. Its time to roll the dice...

Recruitment during the summer was very good, i was impressed with that. Bird and Hogan aside, recruitment during the season seems to have had no structure or thought process applied to it. How many wide players of a similar ilk have we signed? We've needed a goal poacher and a strong hold up forward since the start of the season but had to make do with Rodney who can't string a run of games together and Mitchell whose first touch invariably resembles a pass. Henderson has been criminally underused and been paid for warming the bench. Bird's cameo appearances have served to confirm what the fans have been saying since pre-season. We needed another forward not a conveyor belt of lightweight wide players. Jacob Hazel at Boston is the type of forward we've needed but i don't suppose it fits in with McNultys philosophy of how football should be played.

Your right about Henderson. It just my opinion but I am not sure he is best used coming off the bench with 10 minutes to go. Needs to start, then sub him, if needed

If Hazel is classed as similar to Bird, and I thought he had a very good game for Boston last week, then of course he fits because McNulty signed Bird.

Whether he should/tried to do that sooner is something that needs to be answered. Anything else is a presumption. The way we attempt to mix up the play is far more effective with a Bird type than Mitchell, whose form has unfortunately got worse as the season has progressed. McNulty knows and wants this, he wouldn’t have started Bird last Tuesday

Contrary to what may be thought, we have got much better at attacking with purpose and more directly. The attempts on goal over the last 6/7 games are evidence of that(Saturday the exception though we still should have won with that Ayinde chance.

A lot lies with recruitment and, as you say, that wasn’t the best throughout the autumn as we all pretty much said. We’ve had a season with a decent home record, with more watchable games at Spotland than we’ve seen for many a year. It’s just that when it’s been boring, it’s been bloody boring. The manager’s failings in those games have been selection and looking to shake the status quo.

Though as bad a result as Boston was, the response to change things was another example of him being willing to shake things up with subs and formation. It now needs to be a more regular occurrence. Successful results in league and cup will buy the time to continue that, poor ones will cause him more problems. It’s up to him and his players.

And it Mitchell has to start in his current run of form, it would be in a two with Henderson. Would go with Henderson and Rodney now though and Barlow in behind.

Yes, it needed to be done sooner, at the start of the season and that's not hindsight. It was the topic of conversation at the Avro away game.

The "performance" only comes under real scrutiny if it leads to a defeat or in our case lethargic defeats, still can't fathom out why/what Rodney has done to warrant a start, hes been worse than poor in the bit parts from what ive seen.

You’re right about how the scrutiny changes.

And about Rodney. But right now would like to see him instead of Mitchell to see if we get anything more.

Our shortcomings in the final third also relate to the fact that our midfield players and wing backs very rarely contribute goals. For example Ayinde should have burst the net with his gilt edged chance on Saturday.

In addition we hardly score from corners and set pieces.

Agree, the corner count against Boston tells you that. McNultys done a good job with the defence but as a defender himself you would kind of expect that. I like both Gilmour and East but the midfield has also been crying out for a hard tackling general all season. Then you look at the body language of Rodney and Mitchell and you start to realise that the team lacks physicality. Hogan would be up for a scrap and probably EEL but not sure about anybody else, maybe Barlow. We're good when we pass the ball around with tempo but unfortunately too often we revert to the centre half standing on the ball near the halfway line, acting as the play maker in preference to it for some daft reason. Apparently its something about our opponents playing a low block, thats been happening with inferior away teams since football was invented so i dont know why people harp on about it as though it's something new.

At Oldham as soon as the second half kicked off you could see the change in the mindset of the team, "let's hold on to what we've got'. It encouraged Oldham to play further up the pitch, we invited them on to us. There's clearly been no instruction from the manager to keep on pressing forward and get the second goal. The minute Oldham equalised we camped out in their final third again but it was too late.Too soft and lacking a killer instinct to go and finish the game off when we have our opponents down. It happens too many times.

Tonight we need to take the game to York and play in their half, they're fragile and this is their third away trip on the spin. Keep the ball away from our goal as much as possible tonight. I've also a feeling that McNulty will be itching to start with EEL again. Our wounds this season are in the main self inflicted..poor recruitment, poor team selection, poor tactics, poor game management, poor decision making on the pitch. Yet we find ourselves in a great position in respect of making the play offs and one win from Wembley. That's what causes the frustration, with a bit more self belief and determination to succeed we could have cracked this league this season, we still can if we stop looking for excuses to pull up short. Barnet have one thing on their mind, to keep on attacking teams for 95 minutes and score as many goals as possible. Thats their game plan, nothing else. Their manager has stated in his interviews that he's not interested in possession stats, just shots on target. I think we had only four shots of note in both the Oldham and Maidenhead game, its no surprise we didnt win. McNultys interviews drain all the hope out of you as a fan, it's always outside forces that have influenced the result. Always a reason to fail.

Very well summed up

Just think where we could be with a coach better versed in the arts of management, not just theory

But i agree with Fitz, JM's job is secure since despite his efforts to put the brakes on, we're in a position to challenge for a trophy and a return to the EFL

He's one year into a three year contract. I just hope, even if the season ends with success, that the club don't prematurely offer an early contract extension. Wait at least until the end of the second year

It wouldn't bother me if McNulty leaves to be honest, i want a manger who can lift the club, the fans and the Town. A big character with a win at all costs personality. It's all too nice with Jim and i think it's a bunch of mates mentality and a style of football that means a reduction in physical demand backed up by a manager who blames budgets, pitches, referees, tiredness for poor displays. I do think he was the right manager at the right time though last season and he did a good job. We have expectations now though and i don't think he embraces that. We need to bang the drum in respect of expectation to increase the attendances, we can't treat it like a dirty secret never to be mentioned because it will annoy the manager and create pressure. We are promoting a possible Wembley trip around Town, why are we not promoting a Double Wembley trip with the help of the Rochdale public, a desire to get to the Play off final also? Enthuse the Town and the public and create some interest. The Ogden family, Simon Gauge, Directors and fans will be expecting us to reach the play offs this season and looking at this league i don't think thats a unreasonable expectation.

Wouldn't bother me either (which isn't the same as advocating it) but i just don't think the club have the experience in the boardroom to cope with a bigger personality

It won't be forever though, and then we can get back to going through the turnstile with a spring in our step instead of trepidation

The Spennymoor game is a perfect example of what I'm talking about. A home game against a team of part time footballers from a lower league. Man for man we will have better players and a manger who is working full time with a good squad at his disposal. Is it wrong that the owners of the club and the fans have expectations that we should be winning the game and going to Wembley? I don't think it is and i don't subscribe to the theory that we shouldn't talk up our chances, create a feel good factor and look forward to a possible day out at Wembley. Even win the first trophy in our history god forbid. We couldn't have hand picked a better semi final draw and there's no reason why we shouldn't win it, or there shouldn't be. It doesn't mean it will happen but it's not normal to dampen down expectation at every opportunity because the manager perceives it as pressure. Football is all about pressure and if managers can't handle it then they should find a job coaching kids in an environment where results don't really matter. If we go out with the right mentality and determination then we will have to much for Spennymoor, thats down to McNulty to ensure that happens, it's why the club pay his wages.
