Got to agree with this, we're going into the play offs with no confidence and let's be honest whenever we play a half decent side we very rarely win. It was spineless and gutless and we got just what we deserved. 4 games without a goal, we look toothless and now with Hogan injured it's probably going to be Donnelly up front who is useless.
Oh, and Rose... |  | | |

I think to a certain extent we have got away with it this season in the striking department. Neither Cummings or Donnelly are good enough and we all know that. All season we have been short of a good quality second striker to supplement Hogan and that was evident from the pre-season games. Fast forward to the current situation and the chickens are coming home to roost.
Hilly commenting about not using his full budget could come back to bite him, in fact i think Hillys decisions have been pretty poor over the last two games. Rambling about donkeys on the beach and sitting in the dug out during half time at Mansfield just make him look arrogant. In the last two games i think hes been outwitted, just like his players. |  | | |

Spot on. Another thing that's annoying is the whole "we're ahead of schedule" and "there's no pressure on the players". When you're 9 points clear with 6 (?) games left you HAVE to go up, you are under pressure and you should stand up to it. Maybe this group of players aren't strong enough to do it, only time will tell. | | | |

Or maybe Hilly in saying what he has said has given the players an excuse for failure.... |  |

spot on, any player who cant stand the pressure shouldn't be playing the game, especially at this level.
this whole "we're ahead of schedule" is bollox, that to me is a ready made excuse if we fail. | |

It was mentioned at the time when he made the comments. Anyway, i still think we will do it and the key is the Cheltenham home game and the fact Chesterfield play Fleetwood on the last day of the season. | | | |

Cheltenham and Newport have nothing to play for now. Perhaps this will let the door open for us.
Hilly has been here before and that will stand him in good stead. He will not shout at the players but quite the opposite, giving them as much support as possible. He says it could easily go down to the last game. And we all know that.
But if we can get a win at Bristol Rovers and Fleetwood lose on Monday then we look home and dry with at least a 7 goal difference to the good. |  |

I just can't see Fleetwood slipping at home to Wycombe on Monday.
Let's hope they're as generous to Southend next Saturday as we were today. |  |

I am feeling as upset as everyone else on here, but to call the players and manager after the season we have had up to now is out of order .KEEP THE FAITH . | | | |

Our reliance on Donnelly and Cummings as strike options has been questioned most of the season so mentioning it tonight isnt anything new.
Having watched the last 2 games i think Hilly has been outsmarted along with his players but over the course of the season they have done very well.
Its not a case of calling Hilly or the players its just a honest opinion of what i witnessed. When they perform well i will obviously be more positive in my posts. Theres nothing malicious or tricky about it. They are a lot better than the last two displays. | | | |

I thought the game was identical to the Mansfield game, even down to starting well and Hogan hitting the inside of the bar. We need to win on Monday. I don't think much of Fleetwood, but one thing for sure is they don't need encouraging and right now we're cheering them across the finishing line. |  | | |

Brissie R have won 1 and drawn 2 of their last 8 games - lost at home to the bottom team last time out.
Surely we cannot be presented with a better chance to end this slump/nightmare |
We are capable of f*cking anything up. | | | |

Hey!
Have Southend done us a favour imagine if we did go up what are we expecting next year..would it not be better to be a work in progress and do well next year because lets face it this division has been mediocre and the gulf between teams has been erratic and lets look forward to Luton and Halifax |  | | |

Thanks for kicking us in the bal*s when we are already down, I would rather take our chances in league one thank you.  | | | |

Utterly depressed after today.
Hindsight is a wonderful thing, but looking at the team sheet before kick off today I really wondered what Vincenti and Allen had done to warrant not being picked. Rose really has no place being in midfield and I'd be surprised if we see him play there again.
I really think Keith Hill has to take a lot of the flack for the last two results, team selections, tactics and substitutions have been really baffling. Favouring Cummins over Bunney this week and then not even having him on the bench today? I don't get it.
Really need at least a point now away at Bristol. We've now played over 6 hours of football without a goal. Not good enough. |  | | |

Pretty consistent with what everyone else has been saying, we seemed full of fear today which led to sloppy mistakes and a lack of cutting edge. Shouldn't be the case the way we have played all season up to now. It's a side of very talented players, it's up to Keith to convince them of that again. Without self belief talent is wasted.
Without hogan we are looking to midfield for goals which is why I would also start Vincenti and Allen at Bristol.
Some of the football the team have played this year has been exceptional and deserving of auto-promotion. I hope a loss of confidence doesn't squander that now. First time this year the pressure has really been on. Time for the players to stand up and be counted. |  | | |

He should always start Vincenti and Allen,a blind man on a galloping horse can see that Vincenti is our ONLY outlet for height at all anywhere near their penalty area,I have to say some of Hillys decisions have been at the best baffling and at worst horrendous recently.For me he spends too much time baffling players and over complicating what in facts a very simple game | | | |

With the fear ( not that I am actually fearful of keyboard spunkers) of being called "Not a true dale fan"
I feel that if we do fall into the playoff we have no chance of getting up. Its always the form teams in playoffs that make it not the ones who drop down .
How many crunch matches has Keith Hill won?
Me and my mates can only think of one , and that was penalty shoot out with Darlo!!!
It took us around 4 attempts to gain the points for promotion last time? Is it something in the psyche?? | | | |
