I went to the first three home games of the season, and there was loads to enjoy in each one, even the defeat. I can honestly say I didn't enjoy a single second of today's game. You don't grow up as a Dale fan expecting to win anything, but you do hope for something, anything, to enjoy. | | | |

Disagree. I thought the Spin and Win was great entertainment today and was worth the admission price alone. The club should be applauded for pre-empting the current malaise by getting grown men to embarrass themselves in such a comical manner on a weekly basis.
As for "Stone Roses Day"... 
The whole thing's become a parody of itself. It was a quarter of a century ago lads. Time to move on. |  |

What I’m saying is you only ever turn up to criticise, never when the team are playing well. Every team has a bad run and yes Coventry performance and Swindon apart Dale are on one but some of the names posting on this thread are so predictable and so negative. I might have some respect for your opinions if you ever posted positively but no its always negative, always critical and mostly idiotic. | |

Perhaps with being on world wide tv today just hurt a bit more!
It's us fans who get the stick and the jibes, I think it's just a collective disappointment today more than anything.
Hill is the best manager that we have had and are ever likely to have, but today he got the starting 11 wrong, the subs wrong and as fans I only think its fair that we have our say or is that not allowed any more either? [Post edited 14 Nov 2015 20:21]

You see, there's also another side of the coin to your suggestion, which i find a bit strange. Why do some posters only contribute after a good performance or a win? Why dont they comment after a bad performance,? Its like the game/ performance never happened.
Some constructive criticism regarding the display or the managers/individual players performance isn't taboo, its normal. |  | | |

I'm on here whether we win, lose draw or bust.
You can't pigeonhole me into the 'moaner' category because I deal out whatever I feel is appropriate.
I'm full of praise when we play well; we just have played well in a long time (Saturday notwithstanding) | | | |

I think that's a tad unfair.
I'd class myself to be in the majority of fans who don't go doolally at a win and don't go overboard in defeat.
I know some people on here are emotionally unstable and treat today's performance as a club shit in the mouth, but I view the day as part of our learning curve. It was a bit of a kick in the teeth, but think back to the recent Coleman era - that was a weekly kick in the balls. |  |

I don't think it's unfair. Each game/ performance should be judged on its merits. If it's good then say so, if it's crap then say so. Going overboard in either direction will never be avoided because we all see the game in different ways.
Lavishing praise is always preferable but if it's a poor performance then don't be afraid to say so. Some of the players performed under par today but even with our strongest eleven on the pitch it would still have been a tough ask. I think Wigan could have gone up another gear if they wanted.
I always go doolally when we win, always have. [Post edited 15 Nov 2015 7:02]

I have supported Rochdale since birth but consciously since about 1976.Expection levels were in line with what was on the pitch with the odd glimmer of expectancy.Fortunately they never let me down,we were in general pretty shite but that was ok because we/i didn't know any different
Having been through the sutton,barrow eras et al we were served up some proper shite football,boom it long,knock it down and get on the second ball.
Taking in to account having ,Le Fondre Glenn Murray,Grant Holt and the mercurial if not sometimes annoying skills of paddy,and going to wembley.i have felt spoilt over the past few years.
What i watched today was ok but really toothless at home against wigan(i remember playing them at spotland (when they got lower crowds than us!) ,sometimes it takes someone who is more confident than the manager to make it happen,
We need a ball winner in the middle of the park,every good team has one. |  |

Needed a ball winner since the start of the season,like you say we also have no leader. The younger players are ok but their performances are not consistent, that happens with young players. Our best players, Henderson, Vincenti, Lund are also inconsistent due to not being properly fit I think.
The Manager has also made mistakes along the way, one of them being the public criticism of Cannon and Bunney which does team moral no good,things like that should be kept in house. Cannon has responded though, in order to prove his bravery he is now picking up bookings on a almost weekly basis and enduring possible injury inducing challenges. Do any of the coaching staff actually take the lad to one side and advise him?
Yesterday at 1-0 down we started to ready Henderson and Andrew to make the substitutions, we hadn't looked like scoring so it needed changing. Getting them on the pitch took an eternity, it was commented on by supporters sitting nearby at the time. Messing about with kit, taking drinks, chatting etc, I reckon it was a good 5 minutes before we managed to get them ready,then when they are finally ready to take to the pitch Wigan score the second goal, so the impact of the double substitution is missed.
No urgency displayed in getting them on the pitch but fine margins like that make a difference. The introduction of two attacking players would have probably resulted in Wigan changing their shape and the second goal might not have happened. By the way it wasn't Hilly who was involved in that scenario, his assistants should have sorted things out quicker. It summed up the day for me. [Post edited 15 Nov 2015 7:40]

Superb post TS, every single word. And I'm the last person to be sycophantic.
I noticed the arsing about with the subs too, from the Pearl St. I remember thinking, when Andrew went for a run to warm up, was readied for action then asked to stand down again and put another top on before finally being introduced - that's no way to get someone prepared for action. All thoughts on the ability of players aside, it's just poor. |  |

We were having our best spell when they counter attacked to score their 2nd goal? Maybe Hill delayed the substitutes because of this? |  |

Yes,we were certainly getting back into the game at the time and looked good for making a fist of it......then the long cross field ball,Bennett well and truly dicked and their second goal.
Heads down,no way back.........game over. | | | |

Up until the second goal, I felt we had a real chance of nicking a goal because they looked pretty shaker but Bennett had other ideas. I like Rhys and he's a good player in my eyes but I think 1v1 defending has always been his biggest weakness | | | |

Spot on regarding subs. I only watched in the pub but was saying exactly the same. Unlike you though, I genuinely thought Dale were looking better and coming back into it and believed the subs would add that little extra to get at least a chance or two.
My first reaction to the second goal was that Bennett didn't do enough and hoped other defenders would clear it. Raff would have slid in and won that ball. Having watched the replay again just now, there's nothing to change my mind. | |

To be fair to Rhys he was up against possibly one of the best wide players ive seen for quite a while,he was electric paced and strong to go with it and never went down easily which was refreshing to see.Their number 31 was a class act out wide | | | |
