An excellent run and cross finds Rodney unmarked in front of goal.
The referees blunder has completely changed the game. I'm delighted for us but I would be fuming if I were them. Could be fireworks at the final whistle. |

East and Barlow looking to be positive . Gilmour good at winning the ball, but his passing isn't quite there.
We have got to the byline a few times but crosses aren't beating the first man.
Mitchell looks short of the confidence he showed before his injury.
A couple of tactical changes and we can win this game. |

Not aimed at you 442, because you're one of the fairer posters. More aimed at the shortcomings of the management of the club, which seems to go unnoticed by a few.

More powderpuff stuff with no end product today. It baffles me how our support is all over supposed fans of other teams pretending to be Dale fans, but they won't criticise the manager for being one dimensional against a bang average team.
Time for a managerial change...together with a few Directors. Its too much of a comfort zone.
Too many games have been awful to watch. |

Staggeringly poor judgement from the Board. Surely the Trust Director will have objected to this and informed Trust members of his stance?
It feels like CO is being (mis)guided by existing Board members. |

The money raised from the fundraising efforts was eventually donated to the club (in return for shares) following a Trust members vote several years after it became clear that Bowlee wasn't going to happen. The money was used to upgrade the floodlights and from memory, about 400 Trust members voted in favour of the money going to this cause with only 4 members voting against.
It was Keith Hill who vetoed the Bowlee plan, after several site visits when he was very much in favour of it going ahead. The Council spent a huge sum of money upgrading the chosen pitches and installing a high secure fence around the area, only for Hill to change his mind about the project.
One the walk itself ; it had been fine weather for at least a couple of weeks leading up to the day, only for it to rain nonstop on the actual day of the walk. Over 100 walkers took part in what was probably the biggest ever single fundraising event in the clubs history. When we arrived at the ground, there was a real possibility that the game might be off due to the rain, but fortunately it went ahead. |

Hanging on here. Our defensive clearances are so poor...and our keeper could have easily gifted them two goals in the second half. But by the same token, we have defended well and he's made several good saves.
In all honesty, we have not created much at all but Gateshead haven't been direct enough. Some tremendous shithousery from Waller in injury time. We would be going potty if we were on the receiving end. |

Second yellow? Both somewhat harsh according to the geordie Dalek commentary team.
Can the ten men hold on after being gifted an own goal. Hope Jim doesn't go too defensive. |

This is quite rude from the BOD, and pays little heed to those of us who helped to place them in position and invested not inconsiderable sums of money ourselves.
Who is now acting Chair of the Trust and what is the point of continuing to have Board representation if things like this are allowed to happen? I doubt this would have gone unquestioned in the past.
Comes a close second to the "no reserved stickers on seats" fiasco. |

Not sure this is a good draw at all. They are a decent team and have fantastic home form. Ill be very impressed if we can beat them.

I think it's perfectly fair to say that we started yet another game on the back foot . This allows the opposition to attack us and race into a two goal lead We then manage to turn it around into a winning position before some strange managerial decisions lead to us losing a game that we were capable of winning.
Fair or not? It's becoming tedious.
McNulty is not learning. |

With a few notable exceptions, it's clear that the vast majority of posters are in agreement that we start games far too cautiously, which often leads to us boring the fans and allowing the opposition to attack us. Yesterday was yet another example of just this. From what I've seen, Berger is an attacking midfielder..bordering on being an attacker. Jim should not be playing him in a defensive position. Its not difficult to work out. I too would be annoyed if I were him especially as he got subbed at half time.
Mitchell had a very poor afternoon, and we can forgive him for that because he was ploughing a lonely furrow until Henderson came on .
I've said it so often; Jim is not yet learning from errors as a coach. This might be his downfall. Its certain that he isn't getting the best from a talented squad. |

The fact that we usually start games with an ultra cautious attitude is purely down to Jim. We have the squad to be top 2 or 3 but too often we are a little too negative initially.
My mate has just texted to say that we could have won that game based on the last 15 minutes. |

I'd change the way we start games. With a more positive approach in the first few minutes, we could well have had 5 or 6 more points. Sounds like we are now pressing for an equaliser at Barnet. |

My friend at the ground saying that we have been comprehensively outplayed in the first half. You could see Barnet had a high press on us from the start and yet we insisted on ridiculous passing around at the back.
Apparently, we did go long towards the latter stages of a half in which we were fortunate not to be 3 or 4 down, but absolutely nothing stuck up front because the midfield and wing backs were too deep. |
