I will in no way attempt to defend Mcnultys selection yesterday, only to say
We should have won the game.
But Mcnulty is a young Manager still learning, yet in his time here he has improved us beyond recognition from the the club he took over
He has brought sanity and a calmness to the club.
With the help of the Ogdens he has brought together a very talented squad, who always mention BJ in their interviews as one of the reason they signed.
He has made mistakes, but in the games that counted.
Spennymoor, regardless of what people say about this game, we should have won it convincingly.
Southend, I really think the loss of Waller had a direct affect on how this game played out, I don't feel BJ trusted the new Keeper and did his substitutions accordingly.
Yesterday was on him, but again we should have won that game.
He is still very inexperienced, he has never managed games of such magnitude like a semi final or a huge play off game, how many Dale managers have?
He needs to learn and learn quickly, but he should do it here and I find talk of replacing him very short sighted.
We made some big mistakes manager wise after Hilly left, I believe we are in good safe hands now and the club is going in the right direction, blimey we will still lose games, but I think we are going to witness a very good exciting season.
Last season we saw a cup semi final and a play off place, thats not bad for a second season, and I feel its been played down because of how it all finished.
Look at our history and last season has to go down as one of our most successful.
BJ has brought the spotlight back on himself with yesterday's team selection, but we can't just play the sack him card everytime we lose a game.

I point it out because it’s factually true. As posted the other night when we played backwards and in and around our area which led to our second goal. Presumably that was welcomed when the ball hit the net?
Who said we “always” play “tippy tappy”? The point was the general philosophy of ball retention is there in all our games, we now have more options around that to mix it up successfully.
This is no defence of risky passing around our own goal btw, have always been clear how much it frustrates in terms of conceding risky goals. It’s showing that McNulty has a way of playing win/lose/draw and irrespective of what he says or how he selects his teams.
Edit to the edit:
What does the “dawn on you” bit mean? Where is there any defence of the manager here, only analysis of what has actually occurred. [Post edited 24 Aug 18:39]

We dont always play tippy tappy though in every game. Goals are scored in the opponents half, thats the important part of the move. Putting the ball in the net and being in position to do it is what counts. What has happened between our defenders around our own box is immaterial in most of our goals, most of it is just faffing about until pressed and then a hurried clearance to nobody in particular, either out of play or straight through to their defenders. DAWN ON YOU...you seem to get upset when fans suggest that McNulty isn't the man to get us into the EFL, they are entitled to that opinion and there is good evidence that he makes stupid decisions that cost us. If you disagreed it honestly wouldn't bother me, i'd respect your opinion and not try to change it. I've had my doubts about McNulty since he was appointed and they've never gone away. He's done better than i thought he would. I love it when we string some wins together and i hope he's learning but then he does something daft again and it keeps happening. I dont think he's ruthless, has a winners mentality and his demeanour after defeats isnt that of a man that hurts. Those are my feelings on the manager, it's not a personal hate or anything like that. I think he'd make a great academy coach, he'd get loads of job satisfaction from that because people like him.

“seem to get upset”?! Not one bit. As you well know, I’m very vocal about McNulty’s flaws and have expressed my doubts on whether he can win us promotion. There are posts all over this board, including plenty in the last 24 hours to illustrate that. I’m more annoyed that yesterday’s team selection has caused so many avoidable issues.
We play the same type of football in every game, we will pass the ball around our box. Nobody said it “always” happens, but it is factually incorrect to say we don’t employ the tactic. Similarly it is wrong to say it doesn’t lead to goals. Without doing it the other night, Rodney wouldn’t have had the space to turn and run at their defence. Thats not me saying I like it or not, but an observation of what occurred.
Our opinions on what we prefer to watch are just that. I don’t like messing about in our own box when there is a risk that could lead to a goal.
Edit:
Anyone can have opinion. Mine is no better than anyone else’s. There’s a difference between clarifying what is factual/actually happens and not listening to an opinion we may agree/disagree with.

I was factually correct when i said that most of the tippy tappy stuff around our box results in nothing of any significance, certainly not many goals, unless you can prove me wrong? Now you can highlight Rodneys goal or one or two other examples as much as you want but i reckon we've conceded as many daft goals by trying to play out of the back than we've scored...the Spennymoor and Southend games were good examples.That is factually correct and sort of cancels out your point. Anyway what you or i think counts for nothing. It's the Ogden family who will decide what happens with the manager and they must have confidence in him because they backed him over the summer. | | | |

I’m not disputing any of that, as stated I don’t like the risk attached; even started a thread way back where I was showing the amount of goals that are conceded across the game because of it.
The point was we continue to employ the tactic because it is part of McNulty’s philosophy, sometimes more in games, sometimes a bit less. It’s there in 4-0 wins against Gateshead, it’s there in defeats at Brackley. Sometimes it depends on the opposition tactics (which that video goes into).
This was the original part further up the thread when discussing when fans may think it’s time for a manager to go:
However, I don’t think he’s ever changed who he is or what his overall philosophy is about the game is. He has clearly learnt in terms of working out how we can play more effectively but the fundamentals remain the same.
It’s like saying there was no “tippy tappy” playing it around at the back in the good wins or that we eradicated the risky play near our own goal, because it remains. With more options attached. It’s easy to ignore the bits we don’t like when the results are good though.
Edit:
Sorry missed a reply to your last point. Said since yesterday, it does matter what fans think. If fans want a manager gone and they vocalise it in numbers, it will almost always end with a manager leaving. It’s happened plenty of times at Dale.

Yeah that’s what I meant. We do use that tactic, McNulty chooses to. And when we’re winning it’s easier to accept. | |

Its not just the way he plays the game though and i accept the football is a bit more fluid now, but look at that first half at Brackley yesterday, it was a disgrace to be honest, just like the bad days. Walking football again, backwards and sidewards. That's what i'm talking about, he always lets you down. Then to rub salt in the wounds he disrespects everybody and with a smirk on his face tells us all how we totally controlled the game. How must those poor souls feel who travelled all the way to Brackley and spent a lot of money when they listen to that rubbish. So for me it isn't just down to the style of his football because the entertainment value in general is a lot better as the squad as improved. I don't trust the manager to make the right decisions and i dont think he has the ruthless streak to get us promoted. I don't like how he talks our opponents up before we play them and i dont like how he mentions clout and budgets and fate as a excuse for losing games. Those are my reasons, there are a few.

That video is all very well but how often does it actually work even with top players? There were three examples in the Premier League on Saturday where it went horribly wrong. There must be less risky tactics to achieve the same end.
I admit not knowing much about tactics but it seems to me that the risk to the pressing team is much lower than that to the team with the goalkick which has to get its movement and touches spot on to get the play out and put the opposition on the back foot. Looks better in theory on a board than on a pitch in my opinion. |  | | |

That's it in a nutshell. The fans don't need other fans to educate them on why we try to play out from the back, if thats what the point of posting that video was. This isn't something new. It's highlighted on a weekly basis on football shows, normally to the embarrassment of the defenders who have tried to implement playing through a high press. Premiership defenders struggle with it and coaches are now looking at other ways of progressing the ball up the field. Modern day coaches trying to reinvent the wheel and coming up with confusion. Football is a simple game, keep the ball away from your own goal and put it in your opponents net.
McNulty was eulogising about how we controlled the game and possession against Brackley, i don't think he even considered that was mainly due to Brackely conceding territory and letting us have the ball in negative areas of the pitch...passing it around the halfway line. He was beaten by a part time outfit and his decision making and tactics were shown to be very poor. Brackley put in a sub standard performance but still won the game, the disrespet he showed to them both before and after the game reflected badly on him.
Today he needs his players to dig himself out of a hole of his own making. It's a game that everybody should have been anticipating with a great buzz around the ground but he managed to dub it down, popped the balloon of expectancy and negated the feel good factor that we need to build attendances. We had a winning team, high on confidence, it will be interesting to see who plays today and what the knock on effects of the managers antics are. I think it will have caused unrest amongst some and possibly a division. Players who will now be viewed as B team players, to be used to give A team players a rest. He threw Saturdays players under the bus after the game also when he said it will be a different team for today...belittled them. Absolved all blame for his ridiculous team selection, bad man management. Hopefully though we will have a good performance aganst a Sutton team who have started the season poorly and are yet to win. The players have to start to build momentum again now and try to repair the damage caused at Brackley. [Post edited 25 Aug 7:50]

Nobody was trying to educate other fans why we play out from the back. It was a progression from my original point that McNulty has not changed his overall philosophy even when we are winning games 4-0. That anyone thinking we don’t continue playing “risky” football or passing backwards and sideways when winning games is just incorrect.
I wish football was still the simple game it was 20-30 years ago. But it isn’t. Players aren’t brought up that way anymore. It’s disappointing when anyone assumes what other fans may feel or think though.
The point of posting the video was to promote this week’s podcast which further reinforced that.
It’s really sad that the positive nature of that podcast and the fanbase as a whole was totally spoilt by the decisions taken on Saturday. Something I thought had been made clear throughout. | |

Yep, every word of your post...Spot on, love the line about not needing other fans to try and educate us on the game we are all watching...As if their view is the right view especially when it's done in such a patronising and condescending manner, this winds me up on this forum daily.....And now onto today, team selection will be interesting, as will fan reaction..I for one am not looking forward to today with the same gusto as I should be...

Totally agree. It’s beyond ridiculous how many of the scenarios in that video are accepted as the norm when the risk is so obvious.
The only one I actually like is how it can sometimes create a space for a ball straight into the centre forward. And that is one we have used very effectively with Dieseruvwe. | |

At no stage have I said my view is right. It anything I’ve tried to not offer too much opinion, but more reflect on what has actually happened.
The video and discussion they had on the podcast I thought was interesting, it doesn’t mean they were right either. It’s just another view. One which again reflects what we actually see play out.
On your last point, I’m in total agreement. It’s taken the positivity out of the whole club. | |

I don't think the performances of the team have anything to do with how people view the podcast. The video just confirms what everybody already knows in respect of playing it out from the back. Whether we win or lose my feelings about that particular tactic wont change. When we win i never think it was because we didn't balls up while playing it between the keeper and the defenders because invariaby that passage of play isn't the main factor in the creation of the majority of our goals. I also think in our better performances we move the ball at pace instead of playing patterns around our own box. I know there is never a game where we dont see some of it but the amount of times i attribute that high risk for very little gain stratergy for winning a game is negligible.
In respect of the Podcast i think its been a great listen recently, a group of knowledgable fans telling it as they see it with no attempt to curry favour with the manager, club staff or the fans. I find myself nodding in agreement all the time which is a pleasant change for me. I want us to win today and this week i would like to think the manager will gather his players and coaches together and admit that he made a pigs ear of things at Brackley. Buy a box of over ripe fruit from the market, stand in the centre circle and let them all pelt him for messing up...have a good laugh and team bonding and promise not to be so extreme again. In other words show some humility and move on. The rotten fruit is just a example, other items could be thrown. Tobi is the ideal man to organise this. Im not sure McNulty's personality would allow that though, he'd have to accept what he did was wrong first and some individuals find that very hard to do . [Post edited 25 Aug 9:41]

McNulty isn't going to get us out of this league.
I've literally got no idea what to expect today!
Wednesday was brilliant and then we had Saturday's car crash, what does he do today?? Start the same XI from the Gateshead game? But then that throws Saturday's starting XI under the bus, he really is the worst manager that we ever have had. |  | | |

The wider ramifications of Saturday will be seen today.
Jim has created division not unity.
Division with the fans (every supporter I have spoken too mystified and pissed off).
Division with the players, how can he not see now that this idiotic plan was at best poorly thought through.
Hiding to nothing today whereas we should be 4/4 (12 points) and top of the league and a bumper crowd right behind him and the team for the whole game.
If being top of the table is too much to handle and giftwrapping momentum to opponents is his Operatus Mundi then regrettably his tenure should be very short.
If we win today great we will be 4/5 and that on paper looks amazing but I have never seen the Dale supporting base so distanced from one decision - Ever!!.
Talk about deflating all the enthusiasm in one stroke.
Still angry after a second nights sleep on it. | | | |

I’m still cross myself.
Also keep thinking that if it had been a PL or EFL fixture the league would be asking for an explanation. “Damaging the integrity of the competition” etc.
If Dale did get hit with a fine then I hope that it’s taken from the Head Coach’s wages. | | | |

Bringing the game/Club into disrepute.......?
Watched Brackley's post match i/v........Manager very dignified and class in comment. But McNulty did dis-respect them, although they could n't give a jot. | | | |

McNulty isn't going to get us out of this league.
I've literally got no idea what to expect today!
Wednesday was brilliant and then we had Saturday's car crash, what does he do today?? Start the same XI from the Gateshead game? But then that throws Saturday's starting XI under the bus, he really is the worst manager that we ever have had. |
I have to agree with you Clivert, everything's going fantastically smoothly then Big Jim seems to find a way to screw things up, obviously I'm hoping for promotions but like you I can't see it with Jim at the helm, I'm done with Jim now ! |  | | |

He’s self indulgent and arrogant,I thought Taylor and Done would have an impact this season on team selection and tactics but I’m guessing after Wednesday that’s not the case.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again he’s using us a vehicle to get noticed and move up the pyramid like Barry Murphy. Talks a good game at Forums but I don’t think he cares what we think.
Any decent manager would get promoted with this squad so let’s see what happens. I would think he will have moved on to pastures new by the end of the season, let’s hope so anyway. [Post edited 26 Aug 16:41]
