Signs for Halifax |  |
| Days like this one weren't supposed to happen to Rochdale. |

Shame it didn't work out for him with us. Hilly was enthusiastic about his prospects, but reports from posters on here who have been to the friendlies, and pals, suggest he wasn't quite ready for the step up. |  |

Yeah. Had he been 18 or 19 I'm sure we'd have seen him sign but he didn't quite look good enough, although he did look like he had all the attributes. Good luck to him. |  |

Does this affect our Winsford friendly, or was the deal that we play a game in exchange for an opportunity to trial him? |  | | |

It's a good move for him. He looked to have all the physical attributes to be a great centre half, but just seemed to lack a bit of concentration or awareness. We needed a centre half who could challenge the starting XI, and Maynard wasn't quite ready. I wouldn't be surprised to see him earn of move to a league club in the future. |  | | |

I'd rather see him as a league player with Halifax. Would be a great fixture to return. | |

I cannot really think what Halifax saw in him that we couldn't see? I though he was poor that day with, in particular, misdirected headers that put us under pressure. |  | | |

be fair it was his first game at this level , and I thought Hilly summed it up beautifully with his "lasagna" analogy . The lad did start very uncertainly that day , but overall I thought got better as the game progressed , and was pretty sound at Stalybridge with an absolute donkey alongside him that night .
I think he did lack a yard of pace , and needed to concentrate on his strengths rather than trying to impress , so I'm not surprised he's not made it quite with us . Nevertheless , its a 4 step up in terms of non-league level , so overall I reckon he's done OK out of his association with us , and I'm delighted he's got a return on his personal investment as his attitude and approach looked spot on .
I wish him every success at Halifax . |  | | |

Good luck to him at Fax, the writing was on the wall when me signed McConnell |  | | |
