Hang your head in shame. Gave them the first by your insistance that we should play from the back when we aren’t anywhere near hood enough. Even worse is that you don’t see it and continue repeating the madness. The fans dont want it, clearly the players dont but hey ho.
No attack, no shots, negative back passing and a lack of a game plan. Subs too late again, shall I go on.
Only positive is at least we know that you are not our nxt manager.
What a pathetic spineless way to send us to non league. Absoluted devastated at that performance. | | | |  |

Oooh, that's a good question. I imagine only someone with insider info would know that. | |

You’ll be delighted to know that I have finally caught up with all the posts in this thread and have read nothing to change my opinion. I stand by every word, bias and soundbite in my previous post.
You keep stating that “the football was some of the best we’ve played” It really wasn’t - it was turgid and sterile. Also, having now read the entire thread thus entitling myself to express an opinion, I didn’t see too many comments that agreed with you regarding the quality of the football.
As you seem to be so keen to extol the advantages of possession based football here’s a stat from a few years ago (apologies for repeating this as I had already recently posted it another thread) that I believe is a perfect example of why possession stats are meaningless:
Peterborough 6 (35% possession) Rochdale 0 (65% possession) …
Now I wonder who the Dale manager was for that game? 🤔 | |

Stockdale sacked on a Thursday
Stands to reason that there would only be around 2 sessions in a week where there’s 3 games!
Goodness apparently having a different opinion means you’re an informant, shall refrain from sharing in the future lest be accused of being a former managers mother | | | |
| Completely Inept McNulty on 23:48 - Apr 17 with 2349 views | irishdale2022 |
Or someone with a different opinion to you that’s entitled to it! but yes the more logical argument is that’s I’m BBM fresh from reading a coaching manual | | | |

Peterborough former championship side with triple the playing budget 6-0 Rochdale with crap budget | | | |

Explain it to me in the Dale Bar tomorrow night. First pint on me. They all know me in there and I'm the least threatening bloke on the planet who loves to talk Dale like you do.
Look forward to our conversation. | | | |

Where are the details of our playing budget that season? | |

Unfortunately I’m not one for bars anymore, but happy to have a cuppa with you before the game | | | |

My own personal estimations given the publicly stated financial state of the club at the time | | | |

Where’s Nigel Watson tonight? | |

…but I can’t be too late cos I’ve got to hand the team sheet in to the ref by 6.45 🤣 | |

Where? | | | |
| Completely Inept McNulty on 00:13 - Apr 18 with 2260 views | TVOS1907 |
They've been a former Championship side before when we've beaten them.
And that was without a crap budget that somehow allowed us to sign a future Spanish international goalkeeper on loan. | |

Gerrit forward | | | |
| Completely Inept McNulty on 07:02 - Apr 18 with 2134 views | NigelWatson |
The honest answer is the 'Gerrit forward' idiots would prefer to be in the National League playing 'Gerrit forward' direct football. They spend too much time in the Cemetery drinking real ale and don't have a Scooby-Doo about football | | | |
| Completely Inept McNulty on 07:04 - Apr 18 with 2133 views | NigelWatson |
You are wasting your time, mate. They don't get it because they don't have a clue about what they're watching | | | |
| Completely Inept McNulty on 07:08 - Apr 18 with 2125 views | NigelWatson |
Enjoyable? That's subjective. The 'Gerrit forward' idiots hate passing football, and, in particular, can't cope with a 'baller' playing in the centre of defence. That's why a lot of these idiots had a particular loathing for McNulty as a player. | | | |
| Completely Inept McNulty on 07:11 - Apr 18 with 2124 views | NigelWatson |
You're wasting your time, mate - they're not interested in 'fancy' stuff like that! | | | |
| Completely Inept McNulty on 07:15 - Apr 18 with 2099 views | irishdale2022 |
Baffled!
They had the style they wanted under Bentley for 6/7 months and the football was woeful as was the results. If the results are going to be bad I’d rather watch better football. | | | |
| Completely Inept McNulty on 07:19 - Apr 18 with 2097 views | NigelWatson |
They also don't understand the effect that their 'Gerrit forward' type comments have on the players. It's all heard on the pitch, and it certainly does not help. | | | |
| Completely Inept McNulty on 07:26 - Apr 18 with 2076 views | NigelWatson |
A barely concealed threat of physical violence - nice.
Another real ale drinking PC authoritarian. | | | |

What a load of boring nonsense. Why do people insist on arguing with these trolls? | | | |
| Completely Inept McNulty on 09:33 - Apr 18 with 1874 views | SandyDrum |
I used to love reading and interacting with this forum but near enough every thread just turns into the same 5 or 6 people tediously arguing over the same things over and over again.
So unbelievably dull. | |

I was going to post along similar lines. The forum used to be a great distraction when the football was bad but almost every thread is now being hijacked by the same boring t0ssers. | | | |

But the club won't survive with only 1 person paying to watch them.
The majority of fans just want to watch decent football, from players that can be arsed and put a shift in. We know we can't afford world beaters and, if we find one, we now they'll be sold within a season. We will never have a top of table budget, but when Morecambe, Accrington and others can manage League One on a budget akin to ours, we all know what is possible. Parkin and Hill managed to do it on a lot smaller budgets than we have today. If you think people will come to watch us lose every game but knowing that we played some decent possession based football for a few minutes then you are deluded. We barely had 2000 home fans last weekend - for a game that was critical for us. How many tonight? We are haemorrhaging paying customers for goodness sake. | | | |
