1-0 Walsall. Poor game so far & the goal sums it up. Ball into the box & we can't clear it. Their player bangs it home after an ODonnel save. Scrappy football | | | |

Ball just missed a golden chance. No quality up front whatsoever. | | | |

Lost 1-0. Another game where we could play until midnight and not score. 1 scrappy goal settles it but a very poor game overall. Graham probably my MOM & the defence was reasonably solid the whole game. Nothing in midfield or upfront. Only out of the bottom 2 on goal difference although only 2 points off 19th. The current bottom six are all looking as bad as each other | | | |

Looking like January could be one of the most important transfer windows in Dale's history. Hopefully we are still above the drop zone then or at least not cut adrift. | |

My first game of the season.
First half looked OK in possession and some good deliveries into the box but no clear cut chances.
2nd half we couldn't really get anything going, it was scrappy with loads of stoppages and their awful time-wasting. Again no real chances apart from a sitter from Ball at the end. Ref was shocking all game for both sides.
It's obvious how much we're reliant on Quigley. Without him we don't have an out and out striker, no one making runs into the box. Even towards the end of the game there was no urgency to get it forward cause there was no one to aim for. Was hoping for more from Hendo but he had a quiet game. Defensively fine but lightweight in midfield. Ball is short of confidence, couldn't seem to find a pass and I don't think Rodney beat his man all match.
At least we've got a break from the league next week and then two home games to try and get things back on track. Up the Dale | | | |

Quigley is by far our least replaceable player and it was a mistake to bring him on v Salford in a meaningless cup competition when we need him wrapped in cotton wool for the league games. It's the one position in this formation where we haven't got any effective back up. | | | |

Last update on it was 'a few weeks', hopefully once we get back into league action he'll be close to contention. | | | |

I agree, I have never liked the 'Papa John' competition.
But after our hideous start to the season and poor recruitment (especially in midfield) under Stockdale, we have improved under Bentley. Today's stats was Dale 10 shots, 2 on target, compared with Walsall's 9 shots, 3 on target. This is not to say today result was poor and could dent our confidence, but as other people have said the point difference between 24th and 19th is just 3 points. That is how tight, it is this season, hopefully we will see either or both Campbell and Quigley back before the Salford or Mansfield games.
As other people have stated, we need to ensure that we are still in the fight come January, when Jim can get other people in and have Quigley and Campbell available as well. This season will be bumpy to say the least, but my faith in us surviving was zero under Stockdale, it as increased since then, but that is not to say, I am not extremely worried at our position. | | | |

Disappointing result today and a clear indication that we are desperately short of goals and a goal scorer. over the last 6 games, we are currently 14th on form which is encouraging and there are teams moving towards us in form terms (downwards) so it becomes imperative that we pick up points any way we can. Home form can certainly improve and must, it has been the source of our problems for the last 5 seasons and this on is not showing any signs of getting better yet, a couple of consecutive wins would help enormously, |  | | |

Its clear that without Quigley there is going to be little threat upfront and Kelly is struggling to provide movement through midfield without much support.
How about this?
The back line is pretty sound at the momment with Nelson back to addbackup to the numbers and Diacouraga.
Push Keihane right forward. Remember he scored 10 league goals in the last season in Div 1.
Put White, if fit, or Odoh on the left with instructions to get behind the defence and provide crosses.
I have criticused James Ball many times- the invisible man game after game, but he does want to score goals. Instead of pretending he is a midfielder, make him play upfront as a joint striker and get him in the game. 9Yes I saw his dreadful miss against Walsall).
By packing the midfield and with wide players attacking we might just create more chances.
But the man who said on here that we don`t need any more strikers is surely mistaken. Campbell was underwhelming last season and Rodney has never been a scorer. Stockport may not want to sell Quigley.
In the meantime we have to make the best with what we`ve got, and we can`t wait till January to get some home points. Unlike most teams we`ve played this season, we never seem to start on the attack in our home games. | | | |

Couldn't score in front of an open goal ATM - tragic | | | |
