I'm not sure Keith Hill did anything except jump up and down at the end. I would say his card has been marked as they head towards oblivion....unless,like against us,they all,collectively remove their fingers and keep themselves in div 1. I think the financial windfall MAY keep him at Rochdale for.......?
Sorry smithy but thats a bit harsh, Keith Hill is closing in on 10 years as Rochdale manager, (in 2 spells), he was the 1st Dale Manger to get them out of the lowest league for 41 years when they were promoted in 2010, and he repeated the feat 4 years later (they were relegated whilst he was at Barnsley). I think he has plenty of credit in the tank and you only need look at Gillingham & Plymouth to see that you can go on a run in league 1 and get out of trouble.
I'd like to see Barnet and Burton get out of trouble.Don't care about Sunderland. p.s. If Burton make it,I'll celebrate with several pints of Bass on draught....
Valencia has just gone the most blatant dive in United's match with Seville to try and win a free kick near his own penalty box. Nothing was made of it ... no replays and it will not get another mention ... the issue of diving is hugely two faced by clubs, fans, managers and the media and because of that it'll never be stamped out.
As per usual with the Grauniad's insistence on not quite getting match reports right, they were convinced we were playing a 433 on Sunday Here's the thing though: this might actually be a good idea if we're starting with drugged tortoise Llorente up front, because if we had Son and Moura alongside him that greatly increases the chance of having someone up front who is actually in position to receive passes rather than be two to three yards behind them at all times
please log in to view this image Wednesday 28th February 7.45pm FA Cup 5th Round replay Wembley Stadium Back to winning ways away from home, albeit scraping past Palace with a late goal. Now we're on to another FA Cup replay at Wembley, this time against a Rochdale side that surprised many with their quality in the first match. They lost 1-0 at the DW Stadium to fellow cup surprises Wigan on the weekend and they're now rock bottom of League One. Do we risk heavy rotation again or go with a strong side and try to blow them away early on? Referee: Paul Tierney. TV: BT Sport 2.
A similar starting XI should suffice, as they know exactly what to expect AND IF Pochettino has read the riot act as to what the consequences are for a similar performance from those with an eye on CL games.
The obvious question has to be whether McGahey will take out any of our players the way he did without getting booked for it (or the pundits going apeshit about dangerous tackles) like he did when Mobby Badely turned a blind eye to him poleaxing Winks in the first game with a challenge similar to the one Delph got a straight red for against Wigan.
