What about Jolley , Burton or Walker , any options there ?Mani, Glatzel, Nevitt, all not good enough from what I have seen. That leaves us with Maynard.. It's going to be a long season.
Clarke has played nearly more games than the whole of the Rochdale team! I still think the older guys can play a part but we must find a better system. Can it be done with the current personnel? I think it can but there are quite a few changes needed. We need to stop messing around with three big lumps at the back, it is causing too much pressure on the defence due to the lack of midfield. Morris needs to be replaced with anyone as I cannot see them being any worse in his current position, absolute waste playing as a wing back. We also need two up front. I do feel sorry for Nevitt as he is putting a shift in, but I do not think he has the quality needed anyway plus he is in no mans land up there.I read the post about the combined ages between the teams
Walker we have not seen yet, but they are unproven, young players. I would be very surprised if they had the quality needed. Glatzel came with a good reputation and I do not think he is ready for league two either.What about Jolley , Burton or Walker , any options there ?
This is league 2. I am sure Glatzel and Walker in particular are more than good enough to operate at this level.Clarke has played nearly more games than the whole of the Rochdale team!

Yes but glatzel was shunted out on the left all pre season and at the start and looked really uncomfortable thereThis is league 2. I am sure Glatzel and Walker in particular are more than good enough to operate at this level.
Interesting to note that Scunthorpe got beat 0-4 at home today. Really puts into perspective how bad we are at this point in time.
Thats a good point, and another one of the issues we have. Players being played out of position week in week out. Play people in their strongest positions. I do wonder why some of these players are signed / loaned in if the consensus is that they are not good enough for this level.Yes but glatzel was shunted out on the left all pre season and at the start and looked really uncomfortable there
Yes, true but I can pretty much guarantee you that even if he did play is his preferred position, he would not get us the goals we need. You cannot expect a kid with no real professional games to his name to start banging them in at this level. Same can be said of Nevitt. We need experienced players, ones that have done it at this level and above and have proved they are capable.Yes but glatzel was shunted out on the left all pre season and at the start and looked really uncomfortable there
