| Hill's best away wins? 22:07 - Sep 25 with 4225 views | dingdangblue |
I'd say yesterday's win at Millwall must be up there as one of Hilly's best at Dale. The Den is an incredibly difficult place to get 3 points so it was a remarkable win for us - especially with our injury problems at present. Any others people can think of? Off the top of my head:
Southampton 0 Rochdale 2
Bournemouth 0 Rochdale 4
Bradford 0 Rochdale 3
Stockport 2 Rochdale 7
Mk Dons 0 Rochdale 1 |  |

3-2 at Orient a couple of years ago |  | | |

Not a win but we secured a dramatic draw at Chesterfield in our 2014 promotion season. 2-0 down with a few minutes left and two injury time goals to make it 2-2. | | | |

In terms of importance, the win at Bristol Rovers late in the last promotion season, especially from one goal down. |  |

There was a win on the south coast, Exeter I think? not long after Hill returned to Dale when we were losing 1-0 with a couple of minutes to go and turned it round to win 1-2
Another defeat at that point would've seen us drop further towards the dodgy end of L2 but instead we never looked back after that
My top three would be Southampton, Bradford and Stockport |  |

Accrington Stanley 2 Dale 4
After being 2 -0 down and great reward for all those walkers!
Wasn't that the game that technically got us promoted? | |

I don't think so, no (wasn't that Northampton at home?). But it certainly felt like it. The atmosphere after that game was more euphoric than one I've ever felt after a Dale game. There was just such a certainty around the place that we were going up, with a damn good chance of being champions too. Quite a lot of Stanley fans stayed behind to applaud us as well.
I'd say all 5 in ddb's list would be in my list of Hill's best away wins. There are a few others I'd put on a list of enjoyable away wins, such as the few times we've won at Valley Parade thanks to late goals, and the 4-3 at Chesterfield and 4-2 at Rotherham, but ddb's list are the 'best' away wins for me.

Around about the same time we played Fleetwood away and turned in one of the most comfortable one-sided 3-0 victories you could ever wish to see. Think Hendo scored early on and we controlled the game. They got a penalty and I remember thinking it would have been a travesty had they scored but Josh saved it!
And to cap a perfect performance Gorgeous George scored as well - seem to remember his shot was almost saved but it managed to squirm over the line.
We knew then that we could start to look upwards and that the good times under Keith would soon be back after the wilderness years of Eyre and Coleman! |  |

Yes, mathematically it was, although that wasn't known until the season had finished. |  |

Can I throw in the win at Scuthorpe??I think it was only his third or fourth game into his time in charge.Was it a 4-1 win.Possibly went some way to him being given the job permanently. Thr rest is History as they say. | | | |

You're thinking of the 4-0 at Grimsby. We haven't won at Scunthorpe since Hill was a player with us. | |

Another not a win, but the confidence gained from coming back from 3 nil down to draw at Morecombe was massive that season. |  |

Good mention's of Accrington and Bristol Rovers, and although they were massive wins in the context of the individual games I don't think either are wins that would stand out as being out of the ordinary. I think any win at Millwall goes down as that - I certainly didn't expect to get anything from the game on Saturday. | |

That's a good point ddb
Away wins that've been mentioned could be categorised as:
- most emphatic
- most entertaining
- most important for our league status
- most important for our morale
- most unexpected/historic
The Millwall win certainly fits that last category, plus for our morale | |

No idea what category you'd stick it in but the 3-0 at Walsall must rank highly. They might not have the name or the glamour but were rightly top of the league at the time and we absolutely buried them. 3-0 was a flattering result for them. |  | | |

I feel incredibly lucky to say I was at all 5 of DDB's list.
I think I'd add the 5-0 ? at Darlo to it as we were relying on Sako and Moyo-Modise up front and Darlo were a fancied side back then. Circa 2005 or 2006?
But to come from behind to win at Millwall is a reminder to those of us who been watching for decades, of how far we've come as a club.
Obviously those who haven't been going as long missed a cracker, having stayed in the pub once the team sheet was announced! |  |

Surely the 5-0 Darlo was under Parkin?

- most emphatic - 7-2 at county
- most entertaining - I actually enjoyed beating Oldham last year . Although not a win I also enjoyed the 3-3 comeback against Morcambe
- most important for our league status 2 - 1 at Crewe to keep our status
- most important for our morale - 2-1 Bristol away to get us back on track
- most unexpected/historic - Southhampton 2-0 ?? |  | | |
