Six pointer Rochdale matchday thread

Dreadful defending again

Leahy blotted his copybook there

Hanlan and Nicholson need better service unless we lose yet another home game.

Stefan Payne scores in the 90 th minute!!!! We as a club are rapidly going downhill.Team wise ,results wise and with the worst stadium out of the whole 92 ,the training complex is the only positive.Afraid it will take more than a single striker to save us.

At least Rochdale weren't wearing a Rovers kit.

Jonah Ayunga needs to find a heart. Non league player at best.

Tisdale needs to get some players in quickly who want to play and win.

Ayunga is an absolute disgrace, who recruited him?, the defence don’t defend at all and allow players to walk the ball in. Some good play in parts but generally sideways and backwards. There is no fire in the side, it reminds me of some of the chicken s**ts we’ve had to put up with in the past. Relegation will swallow this crew up unless there is a massive improvement.

Two shocking pieces of defending. Left ourselves too much to do. The substitutions didn't help. Ayunga - I'm worried. Doesn't look good enough quality for this Division.

These players aren't good enough, no manager could mould a competitive team at this level with them.

One person owns and runs this club and I'm struggling to think of a footballing decision he's got right, apart from guessing with Coughlan. That wasn't exactly going out and identifying an unearthed diamond that everybody else had overlooked, it was an internal appointment that worked brilliantly. But even then we don't know yet why he left.

Here's the League record since Jan 1st 2020, under 2 managers and goodness knows how many backroom staff,

P36. W8 D8 L20 Points 32. That'll give you 41 points from 46 games.

Wael has made an almighty mess of things.

The buck stops with Wael ultimately as he’s in sole control. But with regard to the managers....I’ll cut him some slack and argue that Wael’s mistake is filling the boardroom with people that just wouldn’t cut it at the clubs we want to emulate. Gorringe seemed to be an appointment where we went out and got a competent guy in with previous success on his CV and off the pitch things are improving. However Starnes and Widdrington seemed to fall into their roles because they knew someone at the club. It can’t be any surprise then that the club produces mediocre results under them. Poor choice of managers, poor choice of players. Mediocre is an understatement in fact- I’d kill for us to be mediocre right now!

But yeah GC forced them to hire him with his form, it was a no-brainer. When they had to go out and find a manager they have failed both times and the second time it seems they refused to evaluate where they had gone wrong before and by all accounts did the same thing again by ringing up a bloke from a previous interview process just like they did with Garner.
