Spot on...I am glad you have taken effort to report this valuable feedback for the club. I finally bought my FA Cup ticket last night having similar problems. My son, who works in IT, had big problems buying a ticket last Saturday on the way to the match!!!!! Simply not good enough and it needs to improve immediately.
Special mention to Jili Buyabu. Although he didn't sparkle too much going forward his overall play was one of our key factors in grinding out that victory. He used his fast pace in defensive situations to get us out of the merde. He has bundles of energy and strength giving him more tenacity than anyone on the pitch. He was up for the fight and without him last night we would have lost...I know you can say that about others, but I just didn't see his name mentioned yet. On an initial one month loan...get him signed up for the rest of the season Jim !!!!
Yes he's a really nice bloke. But that doesn't cut it. He needs to change his tactics in order to excite the fans. How many times do we have the chance to put the ball in the box when attacking and our player will pass it instead, or we then lose the ball, or the ball finds it's way back to the keeper? Rinse and repeat. Rinse and repeat. Rinse and repeat... I could go on and on regarding other unexciting tactics.
As ever I renewed my season ticket despite Jim McNulty 's boring walking football tactics. In the forthcoming fans' forum I hope he does the decent thing and says that he has fully recognised the real frustration of fans regarding the style of play and he is going to change things next season so we can get excited again.
Yes, all our Christmas presents have come at once. We haven't been promoted or got a place in the playoffs but this news massively eclipses any of that, it is seismic news and will affect the Dale supporters of today and those of future generations.
The manager is by far the most important person on the books. We haven't got this position sorted at the moment and it needs sorting in the next few weeks.
I liked the attacking intent of Woking when they visited us recently. In the last few weeks Woking have beaten Gateshead, Altrincham, Barnet and drew with Southend.
Jim is set in his ways . He's not going to change. We have the players to compete with a very good Gateshead side, but as expected, we didn't really lay a glove on them. That is largely down to the leadership of McNulty.
He has to go. Let another manager have a good pre-season to install some exciting football which will get our crowd numbers up.
We were lucky not to concede with all the passing about at the back. Same old, same old... Jim persists with his slow, slow, unexciting football. If he thinks that performance is good enough, then think again. Time for Jim to go I'm afraid.
I think we need 4 points at the most to get to safety, which should be easily achievable given we have 8 games left to play. This is a golden opportunity for Jim to show us that he can change his spots and get his team playing exciting football and win the fan base over again. It's in his hands and I really hope he does it. He's a great fella and a Dale fan full of passion wanting us to win...just bloody change the tactics or else you will be sacked. Losing valuable supporters is very much Jim's fault in my opinion and he needs to put that right.
YES, clear out the unwanted....Jim has to go !!! Most of the above comments explain why. Until now I was a big fan of Jim but I can't take any more. The problem is we can't afford to sack him and we probably need about 4 more points for safety. Like managers before him he seems incapable of changing his tactics and that is by far the greatest obstacle in our way. The team are good enough, apart from Jesu, so it comes down to our leader, who has demonstrated too many times he is not up to the job. Messing about at the back cost us a goal for the THIRD game in a row!!! Woking get a free kick well into their own half. They send all their big men forward and attack us. They did this quite a few times; exciting to watch...for them. What would we have done? We all know the answer...pass it about at the back, then pass it about at the back...it gets monotonous and excruciatingly boring and unexciting. We create a set piece from a corner at the Sandy...the ball is passed back a few yards to Gordon. He crosses the ball...out of play!!!! Recently, I have seen Gordon cross the ball out of play more than once. He is incapable of crossing the ball so why involve him in this "set piece" ??
