Thanks TVOS. I knew we were doing well before. Didn't the drop in form happen when Paul Connor was injured (as well as switching to a back 3 to accommodate Coleman)
We were actually in and around the play offs at that time. We also played some good football including a very good win against Hull and an away draw at title faves Cardiff at Ninian Park.
Luke Rodgers scored a hat trick and then got sent off !! Was applauded off by the Dale fans for a superb performance. | | | |

Paul Connor didn't join us until March 2001. |  |
| Maestro? No.
Elite? No.
Heavyweight poster? No.
Able to be rational and not over-react to individual results? Yes. |

True, but that era has gone now and we’ve moved on as a club. It’s not to say lessons can’t be learnt around patience when developing a culture/style of play when results don’t go our way, but there’s been so much change that trying to recreate the past won’t work.
That managers can be in danger/doing well based on a few games is modern football, especially amongst fans (in the main) brought up in that era. It’s that sometimes I believe there’s a reaction to individual results that shift opinion far too quickly.
I had far more concerns back in early September when it was difficult to see how we’d develop a way of playing that would gain points. We managed to do that and it seemed everyone was positive when that was visible. Now the challenge is to find a way of discovering alternative methods when the opposition are onto us as Accy were yesterday.
We weren’t amazing when we won three on the bounce and went undefeated in five. We’re not awful after not winning in four. We’re Rochdale in Division 4 doing our best.
Of course, that’s not to say a long run of bad results that sees us adrift at the bottom shouldn’t mean Watson isn’t under pressure, he’d expect that. |  |
