Keper not up to it,Brendan Moore 11:31 - Aug 21 with 9831 views | paulscho | Looked out of his depth to me on Saturday, can`t kick the ball and was part of the shambles for the third goal. Appeared to add to the panic in the back five for most of the game, he however did make a couple of decent saves. If Josh isn't fit soon I can see us looking into the loan market again. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) |

Keper not up to it,Brendan Moore on 11:36 - Aug 21 with 6145 views | 442Dale | His distribution was poor but part of that will come from the way he's been instructed to play within our tactics. With some of those players in front of him, launching it would have been undoubtedly the best option. So the jury is out on that area of his game. However, without him Shrewsbury would have been out of sight by half time and he produced a brilliant stop in the second half. Far too early to say he's "not up to it" | ![](/images/avatars/1212.gif) |

Keper not up to it,Brendan Moore on 11:39 - Aug 21 with 6135 views | TVOS1907 | I remember some people criticising Tom Heaton after his first game. Give the lad a chance. He's coming back from injury, his inclusion on Saturday was a bit 'last minute' and he was offered little protection by some of those in front of him. Even the best keepers make mistakes. Look at Chelsea's winning goal yesterday, for instance. | ![](/images/avatars/1107.gif) |

Keper not up to it,Brendan Moore on 11:54 - Aug 21 with 6080 views | SuddenLad | Cripes. The lad has played one game and the knives are being sharpened. I wasn't at the game, but from accounts I've heard, he was the difference between us being still in the game and being 3 or 4 behind before half-time. He is, after all, second choice and still learning to adapt to League One football. It could be argued that he acquitted himself well in the circumstances, as opposed to some of the seasoned professionals in front of him, who week by week, leave Dale fans flummoxed as to why they are still pulling on the shirt as first choice for their position. I'm perfectly happy to see Brendan Moore appear in the 1st team if the situation dictates it. We should be encouraging him as a young player, not looking to undermine him. Give the lad a chance. | ![](/images/avatars/5895.gif) |

Keper not up to it,Brendan Moore on 12:08 - Aug 21 with 6029 views | ColDale | I'd assume that given he wasn't fit enough to even make the bench against Scunny, then he's a long wait from being fully fit. It was his ankle ligaments that he damaged with a diagnosis of being out for 12 weeks on 21st July. That must have had a lot of impact on his kicking ability. I doubt he'd have played if at all possible. | ![](/images/avatars/1006.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Keper not up to it,Brendan Moore on 12:48 - Aug 21 with 5888 views | boromat | I thought he did ok. From a shot stopping perspective he was top notch. On his distribution he showed a lot of confidence and was comfortable with the ball at his feet. Unfortunately his long kick efforts rarely came off and he showed too much confidence in the ability of his back four when trying to play out from the back. He'll get there a think, we've all seen worse! | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) |

Considering the so called defence in front of him I thought he had a good game. Distribution wise I like the fact that he was prepared to use short passes or throws instead of long punts upfield where they just came straight back in again, plus he made some good saves and kept us in the game at half time. I didn't blame really him for Shrews third. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
Keper not up to it,Brendan Moore on 14:32 - Aug 21 with 5641 views | paulscho | Must have been watching a different game to me. Horrendous distribution, kicking was all over the show, at one point he kicked the ball straight out of play along the ground, he sliced the clearance that ended with the third goal. He sliced numerous other clearances, he played the ball to the back four on numerous occasions when they couldn't handle even having the ball, panic stations throughout the first half. Good saves, not up to it, watch this space. Worse keepers in the last 10 years??He has come from a team that spent the whole of last season at the bottom of the conference and have started the season again at the bottom of the same division.

Nope... watched the same game. He was probably the best defender we had on the day, but that's not setting the bar too high. He did well with shot stopping, making several good saves and dealing well with a couple of one on ones. His distribution was very poor (let's put it down to his ankle injury not being 100%) . I'm also not keen on his passing the ball out to a back four who are not good enough to deal with it, but that will have been Management instructions I'm sure; it's not the keepers fault if the defenders in front of him are poor. Reports from Torquay when we signed him would suggest that he is a good shot stopper, but needs work on other areas of his game, which I'm sure we will have known about. Lets give the lad a good few games before slagging him off please. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Is the last bit really necessary, just because people have a different opinion? Or do we need Col to come back on talking about Codes of Conduct? The team he came from is irrelevant. We signed Lancashire, Vincenti, Widdowson and Akpa-Akpro from teams who had just been relegated to the Conference. At least give the lad a chance. | ![](/images/avatars/1107.gif) |

Moore was best Rochdale player on Saturday by far, as for his distribution you try kicking a football 50-60 yards when your far from match fit. Have you ever tired kicking a ball that far when you just come back from a leg injury. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) |
