Isn’t Hilda still too fat to play 90 mins?
I predict a 0.2 win for Dale, we’ll be too overconfident
Hmm

Intravenous real ale at Sixfields. Make it happen

Would've liked to see O'Toole moved into defensive midfield when we spend most the game lacking possession.

Awful. First half poor and second half woeful. Rochdale deserved the win and seemed to want it much more. At times it was as if they had 2 more players than us. It was like watching a different team from the last few weeks. Anyone can have a bad day but the worrying thing was that they didn't seem up for it most of the game.

I couldn’t knock the lads for effort but they came up against a side who played to a set pattern and who had greater technical ability. I couldn’t tell from the stand what the formation was supposed to be and failed to see why we went three at the back allowing us to get over run in midfield. A defeat for jimmy today who is still learning his trade but was out thought and out manouvered by a more experienced manager. I’m hoping he has the good grace to acknowledge it and learn from it.

Full credit to Jimmy, if we hadn't of parked the bus from the very start it would of been at least 3 or 4.

Can't even begin to analyse it because SO much was wrong. A mess from start to finish, and given that half-a-'plane load connected with the Chinese consortium had flown over for it, a particularly bad time to play like drains.

That was just SO SO bad from start to finish. Just as we thought those bad days were behind us. If a new fan had gone to the MK game they'd have been hooked for ever after a pulsating game, today they'd have been put off for life. Such a contrast.

I'm at a loss to explain it so maybe someone can help me; on the back of better players coming in, better performances, decent football and brilliant results, and even allowing for the injury to Facey that disrupted our game plan with no natural replacement available - where on earth did that clueless, hopeless, aimless, backs to the wall, long ball bullsh1t come from?!

Losing Facey handed them the initiative. Up until that point we looked well organised and were keeping possession well and creating chances. After Facey went off and Poole came on, having three at centre back and just Perreira on that right hand side left us ridiculously exposed because the latter has not got the positional sense or discipline to contribute anything defensively. No-one seemed to know their positional responsibilities when we went to three at the back in fairness, but we were particularly lax down the right flank. They were actively targeting our right hand side once they cottoned on to this and it was inevitable that was where their goal would come from. To his credit, JFH did recognise this (but too late to prevent the goal) and made the change that was required, but by this point we were panicking and playing hoofball, not the overlapping style that was creating chances in the first half. If Moloney had been on the bench to slot in where Facey had left off I think we'd have seen a different result. As Shoemaker said, JFH is still learning but unfortunately we do not have the luxury of time so he needs to learn quickly.

Gash. Facey going off wasn't so much the problem as the change in formation to 3 at the back. Jim could have used McWilliams and kept with 4. Anyone else think the story about Brendan fessing up to his knee not holding up if he was asked to do 85 mins was a little lame (forgive the pun)? There's absolutely no excuses anymore for JFH. His players, he needs to make it work.

At a push Poole could have slotted in at right back too - once we went to a 3 Rochdale exposed us time and again. We’ve got to hope that facey’s injury isn’t too bad and that it was just a one-off.

You make a very valid point.

Agree. Literally nothing positive to take out of today. We were that bad.
