Reaching the 4th round 4 times in the past 5 seasons is a fantastic achievement.
Surely this is the best record in our history? It must also compare favourably with other lower division clubs?
I really hope we now get a plum tie. Rochdale vs Liverpool/Man C/Man U live on the beeb on Friday night would be amazing. |  | | |  |

And it was once said that Keith Hill doesn't do cups 😂 |
In fairness I think that was a very reasonable comment at one point! |  | | |

Is fifth round in 1990 and 2003 the furthest we have ever got? | |

I think we made the equivalent of the fourth round, that is the last 32, back in 1914 or thereabouts. I am away at the moment so cannot check. We lost to Oldham, i think 3-0 when they were one of the top teams. | | | |

by a quick check I think that the only four teams still in the draw we haven't played ever are WBA, West Ham, Tottenham and Newcastle.
Be good to get one of those. | |

Round two in 1914/15. |
But it was the last 32 teams so the equivalent of round 4. Round 4 that year was the QF.

Presumably team selection would be best depicted on a scatter plot.
Enough to drive one down to the bar chart. |  |

Won't be a trip to arsenal as the holders crash out. Any of those 4 would be good. Yeovil... Newport... Manchester city... Manchester United... or will it be Peterborough? |  |

I don't think the FA Cup of 1914/15 is the same competition as it is in 2017/18.

I find the invective you bring to the forum extremely unpleasant and distasteful. You seem to be a very angry person who wishes to agitate other posters to encourage conflict. I'll save you the bother with me. I'll block your comments after I've posted this - never had to do that with another poster until now. No need to reply as I won't see it. Please block me too. As you pointed out, it's okay. | |

or the same as it was in 1971 for that matter, but if we are considering how many times we got to the last 32 iit must count surely. Would you have us not count getting to the league cup final because its a different competition now? | | | |

If we reached the League Cup Final now it would be a greater achievement than it was in 1962 because of the other competing clubs. Look at who Bradford had to beat to get there.
Point is, there is now such a huge disparity between the top clubs and the likes of Dale, that reaching the last 32/round 4/round 2/what's in a name, is a more worthy and difficult achievement in 2018 than it was in 1915, 1971 and 1990.
You could also throw non-league clubs into this mix. This season was the first for 67 years with no non-league clubs left beyond round two.
And to go back to the original question; it was just 'round four', not 'last 32'. | |

and how far did non league clubs get last season and how many years since they had got that far?
I think you are selecting your years to support your point.
we reached the last thirty two this year by beating two non league clubs and a team from the third tier...what makes that more of an achievement compared to 1990, 1971 or 1915 or any other year outside of what you consider to be relevant comparisons.
Why is it so much harder now when many of the top teams dont take it seriously and play their reserves? | | | |

I can only choose the years in which we've reached round four!
Regardless of how seriously the big clubs take the competition, there is a much larger disparity between them and Dale now than there was in the first few seasons (1914/15, 1970/71 & 1989/90) we reached 'the last 32'; in other words, pre-Premier League.
There's even a bigger disparity now than when we did it in 2002/03.
And there's even a big disparity between Dale and the Championship clubs, one of whom beat us last year and are now in the Premier League!
The competition as a whole is much more difficult for clubs like Dale and for most clubs outside the likes of United, City, Spurs and Chelsea. Look back at the 70s and 80s and see how many different (or new) finalists there were and compare that to how many there have been, say, in the last 15 years.
And even when clubs like Arsenal rotate their squads, they still field a large number of internationals or players with top flight experience.
I think Dale's achievement in reaching round four for the fourth time in five years, on what is a much less even playing field than it once was, should be celebrated and not belittled. [Post edited 7 Jan 2018 23:08]

No. The 4th round is the 4th round regardless of how how many teams entered.
Rochdale to get to the fourth round have to win in round 1, 2 and 3. If they win in the 4th round history will state they got to the 5th round...
When they entered the cup and won in round 1 and then lost to Oldham they then lost in round 2. That's regardless of how many teams entered. | |
