AFC Fylde Match Thread
at 13:46 14 Oct 2024

Let's have a run of home ties against proper Northern clubs:
R1 Bradford
R2 Udders
R3 Hull
R4 Blunts
R5 Wendies
R6 Leeds
SF Smoggies
F York

We'll probably actually end up with something dull like Col Ewe away - shit ground on a bypass many miles away...

Our defence
at 17:37 2 Sep 2024

Joe Rafferty, Craig Dawson, Paul Butler are just three examples of young defenders who played well when given their chances and developed into excellent players at Dale. I hope Kyron, Kyle and Sam can turn out just as well.

A splendid read. The author knows his football, and writes intelligently and interestingly.

Agree with you re Jez - got the physical attributes but not the concentration.

I did quite like what I saw of Afuye - considering he'd only played Manchester League (I think) beforehand, he was out of his depth being thrown in at National League level at the start of the season, but did concentrate and put a shift in and seems to have done well enough on loan a couple of leagues down with Guiseley to (per Wikipedia) be now with Curzon Ashton in NLN.

Shubbar, I'd forgotten about completely...

Re-Signing

Young goalie Brad Kelly signs for a further year.

Have only seen him in last year's pre-season game against Bradford for half a game, but he did look pretty competent. Hope his injury issues are over - with seven subs this year he may well get at least a seat on the bench.

NL next season

So we're getting Sutton and Forest Green.

Hopefully Worthing (seaside) and Brackley (any excuse for a long weekend in Oxford) to come up.

Nothing against Alty or the Shaymen, but I'd rather keep the derbies. Of Gateshead, Solihull, Barnet and Bromley, the last named are the least interesting, so they can get promoted...

Building for next season

A couple of points that haven't been mentioned.

1. I think Tyrese Sinclair is still young enough that, if he's offered a new deal on the same or better terms than thus season, we would be entitled to a fee under the Bosman rules if he decides to move elsewhere.

2. Whilst the step up from the level he played at last season proved to be a bit much for Michael Afuye this season, he seems to be doing reasonably well at Guiseley on loan and may be worth looking at again. From what I saw early this season he couldn't be faulted for effort and application, even if he wasn't then ready for Conference National level.

Registered or not, he's not on the bench today - Big Ferg seems to have recovered sufficiently to be a sub.

Solihull Moors vs Rochdale: Match Thread
at 11:51 6 Oct 2023

Not the fault of the club, or the player.

When he did play for us, he looked reasonably useful. Shame it didn't work, but since he's not had a happy time at Dale and is AFAIK based "dahn sahth", a loan down there is probably best for both parties.

Good luck to him (except against us, obviously!)

A quote from a poster on Chesterfield's message board:
"Henderson WILL score against us. He has to by law, I think. Thankfully it waint be the only goal in the game."

Hendo does like scoring against Chesterfield. Hope he's fit to play a part in the game...

Matthew Barnes-Homer appointed Assistant Manager of Havant and Waterlooville (possibly still playing as well, was a player/coach at Brackley before moving).

I don't know the answer either, but can make a guess.

KH played alongside Wayne Evans and Neil Edwards, and managed Matt Gilks, Gary Jones, Lee McEvilly and Grant Holt - between those six, I think all games between KH leaving Dale as a player and being appointed as manager can probably be ruled out.

Soccer base only gives team details back to 1996/97 (the year KH joined Dale as a player). However, Steve Whitehall and Mark Stuart were both still at the club and played alongside Hilly that season. These two were both regulars for the previous five years or so, and there may not have been many (if any) any games missed by both of these.

So I would guess at 1991 or 1992!

One of the random Facebook posts which come up ever more frequently has pointed out that James Milner's premiership career has lasted longer than the gap between World War 1 and World War 2.

Ian Henderson made his league debut a couple of weeks before James Milner...
