I haven't posted on a forum since before keith hill was appointed manager of the dale , was great to see hilly and flicker back at the dale today , loved them both as players for the dale and their tenure as management team was the most exciting and succesful in our history .
It was also interesting to look at the barnsley team today with so many " rochdale rejects " in the team and thinking that when we were in our pomp under hill we had a better team than they have now , and they are playing in the championship !
Weve been very lucky as rochdale fans in recent years to watch such great players as grant holt , glen murray , adam le fondre , rickie lambert , will buckley , chris dagnall , chris ogrady and dorothy perkins .
I think john coleman has assembled a decent side , first game ive seen this year so i cant fairly criticise any of the players , first half was notable for the energy and tackling in midfield , barnsley were slow out of the blocks and struggled to cope , we should have gone 2-0 up after a quality move just needed a better header from grimes .
second half barnsley went up a gear and controlled the play , our left back was struggling badly with etuhu and must have been thrilled when he was subbed .
they took a deserved lead after a lillis gaffe and we looked out of it until their keeper chimed in with his madness ,
we were caught by sucker punches in the first period of extra time but the second period was a great effort from a tiring team . we created loads of chances unfortunately we drilled most of them straight at the keeper .
really enjoyable game. i hope coleman is allowed to strengthen a bit further because with that spirit we could do well , really well .

I really cant see why the board seem to think hiring experienced kids coaches will be successful . Keith Hill was a stopgap appointment who showed he had the personality , bravery and expertise to take his opportunity .
I fail to see how much better qualified beech has become in the few months it's taken for eyre to get the bullet .
We needed an experienced manager when hill left that was obvious , the club gambled on the cheap option and it failed , again we are in the position of needing an experienced guiding hand and the club are gambling with the cheap option .
I don't for one minute think that the board don't know what they are doing , seems to me they are just appointing the best they can afford , which long term is more worrying because while we are waiting for another keith Hill to be unearthed we could plummet through the leagues .
For what it's worth , beech was a shocking player for us , always out injured , i dont forsee him being any better as a manager .
If we want to stay up we need to dig deep and appoint a experienced manager now .
