The Plan B thing is what really sticks in the throat. At each fans’ forum Jim’s been so effusive about how it’s ’total options’ Dale. This isn’t total options at all. It’s one option that was successful for the first two months of the season but has been figured out, yet we still persist with it, with absolutely no sign of changing mid-match. |

Thread | What’s our worst squad ever?
at 12:39 17 Nov 2024
Relative to the league we’re in, I mean.
I can’t comment on any before Parkin’s second spell, but personally that Erye squad that eventually took us down from League One is the only one I can’t get past. A squad whose defence was built on players like Trottman, Balkestein, Jordan and Holden, and a forward line featuring big hitters like Barnes-Homer and David Ball - this is what gives me nightmares. Not to mention the fact that Andrew Tutte was considered one of our best players. Diabolical all around. |

Dennis I’m quite excited by. My only concern is that we’ve signed another very injury-prone player in a squad already struggling with injuries. |

With Mitchell playing like prime Ibrahimovic I am curious about January. This will be the first transfer window where we have a sellable asset likely in demand, yet we’re financially secure. I know the Ogdens don’t want us to run like ‘enjoy the ride’ bury, but I’ll be intrigued to see if we sell low again or hold out for a genuinely impressive fee. |

Not to mention, our only other conceded goal was a counter against D&R when we were pressing for the winner. |

The environmental argument doesn’t really wash. ‘Single-use plastic’ implies the stickers would be removed after each game. They’re on for a whole season, so not single-use at all. Furthermore, I imagine the majority of ST holders keep the same seats every year, so the ‘single-use’ stickers could actually be left on for years. |

I wouldn't be so sure. The feedback on Twitter is overwhelmingly positive. I think it's quite nice without being excellent, but I think it'll sell well. |

Agree that there are only two realistic winners, and I’m torn. Usually Labour but I’m not exactly won over by them this campaign. |

Fair enough. It’s been a while since we had a good old debate on here! Who’re you voting for?
And thanks for everyone’s clarification. |

The Labour candidate makes note in his campaign leaflet of being a lifelong Dale fan. Has anyone seen him/spoken to him at a match or is just politician rhetoric? |

There’s a lot of talk on here about him not being a playmaker, not contributing to attacks, etc. I disagree. I posted last season’s stats a few weeks ago but it’s worth repeating now:
John 0G, 2A
Gordon 0, 1
Nevett 0, 1
Armstrong 0, 1
Ferguson 0, 0
Oduroh 1, 0
EEL 3, 3
Keohane 7, 6
So, apart from Keohane who’s often played in midfield, he’s far and away our most productive defender. For all the praise given to Nevett for his passing, I actually think Ebanks-Lansdell is better at it. He’s also won a penalty, and we have the highest amount of clean sheets (9) with him in the team.
He might struggle when under pressure trying to pass it around the back, but his long passes are usually very effective. He did a pass like the below most games.

The email isn’t changing anything. I’ve voted four times with the same email address without problem (just to see if it would let me). It’s very easy for other fans to hijack a vote like this. The question is, who would be sad enough to?! |

Not to mention that Fleetwood have the option of another year in their favour. |

3 goals, 3 assists. Of our other defenders he fares well:
John 0G, 2A
Gordon 0, 1
Nevett 0, 1
Armstrong 0, 1
Ferguson 0, 0
Oduroh 1, 0
Keohane 7, 6

One thing I’m hopeful of now is that when clubs come sniffing around for the likes of Nevitt, we’ll now no longer be seen as ‘soft-touch Dale,’ and instead ‘billionaire-owned Dale.’ It doesn’t mean we have to go spending recklessly, but I’d hope this at least gives us a better platform to begin negotiations from. Whilst we’ve done very well from certain deals such as Dawson and Hogan, others have been woeful from an under-selling point of view. |

I really enjoy hearing Jim speak, so I'd love to sit down with him and hear his thinking behind the decision to have SEVEN of our players stood on the six-yard line at goal kicks. I'm sure in that wise head of his there's a reason, but it seems absolutely wasteful and reckless to me. |

I’m curious about the sarcastic response too. Your explanation seemed like the most obvious one to me as well! |
