Sorry but it had to be said, the title of this thread sums up tonight’s performance perfectly.
Keith Hill - why the hell does he keep changing the team and the starting lineup was a very bad choice hence the early goals we conceded.
Wilbraham - was awful tonight! no ball control, hardly won anything in the air, gave the ball away too many times
Defence- shocking! Backed off every time Oxford came forward, no defenders even attempted to clear the ball on corners and set pieces and Lillis dropped the ball once again giving away the 1st goal.

The prices have been reduced. It’s £12 on the Sandy and in Pearl Street.
Point is, there will probably be around 2000-2300 home fans, which there would have been regardless of Tuesday’s result, as opposed to the 2,700 home fans we are getting for league games. | |

I'll be there, but quite a few regular supporters who sit near me have said that they won't be going. This is a direct response to Hills constant moans at the fans over a couple of seasons plus his absolutely random team selections.
I reckon we could be looking at 3-400 less fans coming than would have been the case had he not buggered about with the team so much lately, and also had he not been so bloody quick to moan at the fans. He goes on about negativity, but he is the most negative person in the ground and people are sick and tired of it.
A strong Chairman would have sorted this out years ago. Unfortunately, our Chairman seems so far remote from the day to day goings on that I worry for him. I genuinely hope he is ok, but do start to wonder.
Basically, when DDB has a pop at Hilly, you know that things are bad. Really bad. | | | |

I tend to agree, but even when things have been bad before, we can usually guarantee around 2000 Dale fans turning up, which was the point I was trying to make to James.
Our crowds have been fairly consistent for home FA Cup ties, unless we're playing Spurs, Leeds, Forest, etc. | |

My most recent comments about numbers on Saturday were in response to a claim Hill gets 10% of gate sales. Which from the replies expect is a load of spherical objects. But if it were true he would be trying to increase the numbers through the turnstiles, whereas the consensus is recent activities are likely put off the swing voter whether they amount to 1 or 1000. | |

Just a vicious rumour Norden ...but it does shed light on our illustrious leaders change in perspective regarding cup games , when he started he didnt give a monkeys , now we seem much more on the ball ( barring Gatehead LOL , but that may be a consequence of losing the plot generally). | | | |

Yes the amount of money spent is ridiculous, but they are also facilities for the local community, and the area has been massively regenerated. Back in the day there were always people in the Sandy , listening to reports from utd and city games. As jimmy wagg says ‘it was ever thus’ | |

I'll be giving it a miss also, even with prices reduced I've seen enough of Hills pick the team out of a hat antics to be bothered anymore..... | |

I used to go to a few games back in the 80’s when I worked in Manchester . Also a few this century as I used to get free/ cheap tickets. So I’m not really a glory hunter, i do like to watch them on tv, fantastic team. | |

Nowt wrong with that and they do play great stuff. I actually liked them when they first won the league the season they stuffed Utd 6-2. But as of late their fans have gone right up themselves so I would probably put them in the same bracket as Utd or Chelski. | | | |

Always annoys me when Blackburn get criticised for "buying the league". Since to win it they beat United to it who broke the British transfer record to sign Andy Cole halfway through the season.
The same United that go on about City's money yet spend an obscene amount themselves, whose success was based in the 00s on very expensive purchases from the first teams of rivals such as British transfer record Rio Ferdinand, the huge contracts given to the likes of Rooney to keep them in England etc.
City fans are becoming the same smug, entitled bunch that they sing about United being. But as someone who went to school in the 90s surrounded by plastic Reds, patronising everyone else including City, I'm OK with United fans having to watch someone else win stuff for a while yet. | | | |

Fewer than 2000 home fans there today, even with reduced entry. | | | |

Yep, so just slightly lower than the 2000-2300 predicted.
Like I said, our FA Cup home crowds tend to be fairly consistent, unless we're playing a big tie.
They certainly don't drop off by as much as some other clubs' crowds do. Charlton had about 3500 yesterday, for example. [Post edited 2 Dec 2018 16:34]

Smaller crowd but in general a better atmosphere. Wonder if the two things could be related somehow... | | | |

Suspect more to do with the "sudden-death" factor Manc? | |

Yes possibly although the more cynical part of me thinks that many of the usual sandy lane boo boys were absent today. | | | |

There were more regulars in the Sandy than pearl st, hardly anyone in there, could have fit them in the main stand. The atmosphere was better though, agree | |

Always gutted to go out of the Cup particularly in the manner we did today....we'll miss the loot generated. I thought it was a good game and we did our bit.
Last chance of a bit more money on Wednesday, hope we go for it with a strong team like today. | | | |
