Hilly's View! on 19:13 - Feb 6 with 3174 views | D_Alien | Have to say, he's saying what we're saying (without naming names) but I'm still wondering why it's taken him so long to work out. So, I'm expecting Eastham back next week. His point about this being the first really inconsistent spell whilst managing Dale - and that he's got to find a way to address it - shows how much of a learning curve he's still on. I think many of us have taken for granted the brilliance he's shown in developing one squad after another over the course of 6 or 7 years in total. Showing the merest touch of humility in the interview - as opposed to lashing out at fans, officials or finances - will do him no harm whatsoever. [Post edited 6 Feb 2016 19:14]

Agree entirely although the second goal was not a mistake by the defence it was Vincenti giving the ball away . I thought Rafferty had a good game today | | | |
Hilly's View! on 20:12 - Feb 6 with 2917 views | 442Dale | Possibly one of Hill's best interviews ever. He's spot on throughout and it's great to hear an analysis of the game and the team without the need to mention anything else. Some point to managers talking about other things to reduce the pressure on the players, but this interview illustrates how unnecessary such nonsense is. A full, frank opinion that is very fair and doesn't leave players feeling under any pressure either. It helped that the person interviewing him was prepared to challenge in a friendly and informative way too. His thoughts prompted responses from Hill, so credit to whoever it was (anyone know?). It's really not very hard is it? [Post edited 6 Feb 2016 20:14]

Not heard of him before, but whoever it was it was much better than you usually hear from GMR (the likes of Cheeseman/Wagg) or anyone else who interviews Hill for that matter. Is it really that difficult to find a way of challenging a manager during an interview? No. | |

Hilly's View! on 20:43 - Feb 6 with 2757 views | fitzochris | It was a good interview from Hill but I don't think he was particularly challenged. He seemed to volunteer an honest response. For someone who wasn't at the game, this is the kind of interview I want to hear. I want to hear his thoughts on why we lost, not conspiracy theories or external blame. | |

Hilly's View! on 20:45 - Feb 6 with 2743 views | macro | I wonder when the loan window opens if a new keeper will appear as well. Today summed Dale up this season, frustratingly inconsistent. Mistakes costly and too much charity from the forwards. As for Peter Vincenti at the moment, he’s playing appallingly. | | | |

I wondered who was doing the commentary with Steve Eyre. He was very good. | |

I think you'll find big Jims own form suffers playing next to him to be fair to,he's a far better footballer than Lancashire. | | | |

Really? I thought the challenging came in the form of putting situations to Hill that he then went on to comment about, eg. Individuals making mistakes. | |

Not really. Most of the questions are repetitions of things Hilly has already said phrased as questions. The confidence thing etc. Hardly Paxman. Not having a go at the guy at all, it just felt like Hilly was going to say what he said regardless. | |

Fair enough, but he got more out of the interview than we normally hear. | |

He will expect us to have forgotten what happened today by the time he turns out a team next week........we all know who are the carthorses but they always appear at the starting line each race. | | | |

That's a bit unfair. Listen to the interview, he acknowledges the problem. Yes, we might want it to have been addressed earlier, but the past is gone. Deal with what's now. | |

To be fair 442 he's acknowledged we can't defend set pieces and we keep making individual errors,and he's not addressed that one bit,it's no use simply highlighting the problem,the proof is(isnt) on the pitch. | | | |

No, I see the point but it was saying the same players will appear next week and we'll be expected to forget it. Let's wait and see. | |

The fans have been begging for Eastham to be given at least a chance......and what about Lewis Alexandra.......the Forgotten Men? We need a GOALSCORER and at least ONE decent Centre Half.......we need look no further than our squad for starters? The problems needed acknowledging months ago.....not now. | | | |

And yes, you won't hear any arguments about that but the manager deserves credit for coming out and recognising the issues about today's game with no added CHAOS. He's been brutally honest about the 90 minutes we witnessed and sometimes that all we want. It's not a time for point scoring when you realise that his comments confirm what some fans have said about individual players previously, because more often than not Hill gets it right anyway. you can't affect the past, looking forward right now is all that matters. | |
