    "had Pope in his pocket"? What game were we watching? Not blaming Tarkowski, but as the senior centrehalf I'd have hoped he would be more dominant. Instead they looked like they could score at will from that battery of corners they had.

    And yet they didn't

     

    Dominant? How many men should he mark? Did Pope score? In fact in all the time they "looked like they could score at will" how many did they score from corners?

     

    Said for 2 years this boy is going to be class and he will keep improving......

     

    Brown has improved under LJ but for me he is still not good enough at the back and will be targeted by every team we play, hopefully his injury is not too bad but IMO we could easily do better.

    Would you want him gone in their situation?

     

    As Oldham fan? No full em he'll take them down!

     

    I just rate him as much as others. If he was here as many have touted previously his interview style alone would see fans turn on him. Some rate him but at the same time admit he has no pressure to succeed. He has failed in his only other job.

    I don't think they admire him for being bottom of the League. They probably admire him because he has got a team, who spent almost 40 years in the bottom division, promoted twice in the past 7 years and has steered them to a top half finish in the 3rd tier, which is unheard of for Rochdale for a very long time.

     

    But, personally, I think he is a shit...

     

    I can agree with all of that.

     

    I don't think he is a bad manager by any stretch I just don't get why the negatives about him can be ignored so easily but can we used just as easily to judge ex or present Oldham managers.

    I was thinking the other day about the odds of a side staying up eight or so years in a row since last challenging the play-offs. To avoid relegation must be quite improbable when we’ve consistently had a bottom 8 budget and have flirted round the relegation zone for every season.

     

    We’re an exception to the rule I’d say.

     

    Hill’s done a fantastic job at Rochdale. Dave Og nailed it. 2 of their 3 promotions in 100+ years, very good football for the most part - most of which has been based on excellent home form. Seeing their own lads come through and impress in the first team - they do that a lot better than we do - and competing at this level on 2k crowds. I don’t like him but it’s some achievement. He’d have a job for life if I was Rochdale fan.

     

    We have had plenty of our own lads come through into the first team. A portion of our fans turn on them but see Dales as doing very well.

     

    who has had more go onto a higher level.. us or them?

     

    Its easy to jusge the positives when you aren't watching how shit they are every week like at Boundary Park

     

    Dale fans were turning on Hill 10 games or so ago. They will again if they go down.

    Last four seasons Rocdale have finished 3rd (got promoted), 8th, 10th and 9th. Not bad on piss poor crowds and without doubt one of the poorest budgets if not the poorest in the division, add to that they turn a profit and have been quite shrewd in the transfer market showing quite an healthy bank balance, do people  really think their fans should be baying for blood? :OASISscarf:

     

     

    When our fans call for a manager to be sacked is the bank balance taken into consideration? 

     

    Dales budget is common knowledge like ours. I keep missing this information.

     

    Healthy bank balance couldnt afford a new pitch without a massive cup tie and possible help?

    They are essentially a L2 club playing in L1 if you use attendances and income as a guide.

     

    He's consistently developed and replaced players who have gone on to play at that oft talked about 'higher level'.

     

    I'd say a difference between us and them is supporter expectation.

     

    If the difference between us and them is expectation then is he failing or have we been over achieving?

     

    We have consistently sold youngsters for £500k without ever kicking a ball in the first team. As consistently as they have produced players at any rate give or take 1 or 2

     

    Our chairman has made poor decisions but our managers cant be blamed for that can they? Hill doesn't dictate income to the club so why give him credit for the money they received in fees?

    Because many people are able to look beyond results and see the bigger picture.

     

    Relegation again?

     

    Please enlighten the ones that don't see it. What is the bigger picture?

     

    and why is it thrown out of the window at Boundary Park if we don't win for 7 games
