All three of your loan signings look excellent.
A no-nonsense defender, a midfielder that shoots on sight and a tricky winger that looks like a match winner.

I know that.
I doubt the original poster saw them at Peterborough, though.


They did well at Peterborough as did the whole team in the second half.

So he's not done well with the signings?


He might have. It's far too early to tell. Having said that, based on the past 20 players or so he's brought to the club, I'd guess they're, at best, mediocre.

He lost his Midas touch two seasons ago. My trust in his ability to spot a good player is (as good as) gone.

He's attracted young players from a Championship and two Premiership clubs. You'd like to think that they would make quite positive contributions between now and the end of the campaign (indeed Big Jim's recent interview suggests that they already have). A cursory look through the posts from borntogo will show he is no fan of KH. He is, of course, entitled to that opinion, but it may just help to illuminate his reply to you. I think had you shared the OP with KH, an accusation of sycophancy may have been valid, but as you posted it on a message board, anonymously so to speak, I think you have to assume the 6 up votes for your OP is perhaps a better reflection of its merits. In my opinion.

What insidious people, you Hillistas are, checking up on previous postings in an attempt to discredit folk (sorry, illuminate). How do you find the time?

To be clear, yes, I'm no fan of Keith Hill. Not on current form, at least (two seasons' worth). I'm suspicious of anyone with the tolerance for the kind of tripe we've been served up. It's not normal.

I didn't need to check up on posts, I merely mentioned that if truenorth, who doesn't frequent the board regularly and may be a newcomer (I haven't checked) wanted to better understand your post (which I felt was somewhat OTT) it may make more sense to him in light of your general dissatisfaction expressed in previous posts. Your username is quite memorable and I seem to remember it being ironic that you said you left early one week.

I don't think any fan of Dale has consistently "enjoyed" the football and our performances over the last 1 and a 1/2 seasons. As I have made abundantly clear though, any talk of replacing KH now makes no sense. There are enough points available even starting from 0 now to potentially stay up. We have hopefully strengthened and will continue to try. We will have a different squad and team for the remainder of the season.

Edit - wrt to the insidious comment, you're as far off beam as you could be there, as anyone who knows me would tell you. I really don't mind if you hate KH and it won't affect me one iota. The board will decide his fate and neither your or my opinion matter. My post was in response to your post demeaning the OP in my eyes.

Season ticket holder for 15+ years, thanks for asking.

I don't post regularly because most well intentioned comments end up the same way, the usual suspects moaning that the club doesn't care about the supporters, won't sign a proven target man and serves sheet coffee (sorry Dave).

I'm quietly confident for the rest of season.

Without particularly being fond of Hill it’s not arse kissing to say being in a job this long is an achievement in modern day football. I would like to see him go personally ( a 2-1 defeat of Peterborough and drawing with fleetwoid isn’t an improvement and we have been gash the last two seasons, not to mention Hill slagging supporters off) but is having a go at other supporters productive or helpful.
