I'm not sure you really need to ask that. They're not a basket case club like we are. Not quite, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coleman didn’t cut it at a higher level after leaving us. Coleman and Leutwiler should both be decent keepers at L2 level. Personally think Sam Hart is a better signing than an older, injury prone Aidy White. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaticsPete Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Rochdale despite apparently being a much better run club than Latics , frequently lauded for the way in which they develop players and sell them for big fees , are…..in League 2.

My point being that they frequently are being held up as a club that has its act together, does things properly etc , yet are where we are. So what’s gone wrong there?

Struggling to see Div 3N as relevant. They are more or less in their natural position. We like to think that we are not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaticsPete Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Just giving perspective to your claim that they are a “few places” off their best ever position. I wouldn’t say Latics winning Div 3 N wasn’t relevant to the club or the others in that division. Anyway, I don’t want to fall out with you . We may be agreeing actually- Dale are pretty much in their usual position, and that’s despite apparently , according to some, repeatedly doing things better than Latics, so haven’t delivered much as a result!

Prudence left some time ago. Their time in the sun is over. It’s going wrong quite quickly as anyone with any knowledge of that club will tell you. Doesn’t make our position any better, but the prudent approach has ended at Dale… as it nearly always does. Nothing is forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Home game and needed the dosh? Seems a bit strange that the Harrogate players all tested positive after their first game. Does that mean Dale players are affected as we?

Simpo Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/efl-72-clubs-combat-covid-24683689 I think the difference between the two situations is ability to fulfill the fixture. Suggests Harrogate weren't sticking to the protocols, and as such might get hit with a misconduct charge, and/or thrown out of the cup. Either way, from next week you only have to isolate if you actually have the virus, or you're an unvaccinated close contact, so postponements should decrease.

Salford red devils moving to moor lane. Inevitable. Moor lane is hemmed in. Anyhow, they are buying it in a joint bid with Sale Sharks for £14m. It cost £24m to build… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
