Struggling League 2 team* Rochdale finished 18th in League 2 the season we signed him. Always looked a strange signing on paper given that we were in the Championship at the time, yet bizarrely I think he looked better in the Champ than he has so far at League 1 level (with the exception of...

Disagree that he favoured the home team. Made several shocking calls for both sides.

Definitely. Inviting pressure on the way we did yesterday is just asking for trouble.

I thought we were excellent today compared to our last few performances, but I'll start with the negatives. Negatives Sitting off Wigan from the 70th minute onwards was completely the wrong approach and almost backfired massively on us. I won't blame Critchley for the couple of subs he made...

Always been the dogs bollocks as far as I'm concerned, thought he was excellent for us.

Critchley back in July "we don't want to be a team reliant on loans". That's Rhodes, Weir, Dembele and Baggott already, and you would expect maybe another 1 or 2.

Joe Nuttall hands down. Has to be one of our worst signings ever just on the basis that he was a shocking player. Then on top of that there is the fact that we supposedly paid somewhere between 500k and 750k for him. Of course there have been worse signings based solely on the player's...

Decline? We racked up 60 points in our first season back in the Championship where fans were present throughout. The decline since is down to one man, Sadler. Although I have no doubt that he has the club's best interests at heart, he's overseen piss poor recruitment on the pitch, piss poor...

Haven't scored in 5! 😭

He definitely isn't being backed the way he should be, it's pitiful how little we've spent on transfers. That being said, however, the squad on paper is still good enough to compete for the top 6 at this level (although it's no better than that). I'm fairly sure also that Thompson, Trybull and...

On the face of it, doesn't look the worst of signings, but once again it's a loan. When are we actually going to sign some attacking talent on a permanent basis?! We will be in the exact same position next summer with just Joseph, Beesley, Lavery, CJ and Dale on the books in forward positions...

Give all the kids/development squad a game. Personally I couldn't care less about the result, the focus is the league, not worth picking up any more injuries by playing first team players.

Not even offered a new contract by Charlton at the end of last season, yet we thought he'd do a job for us.....baffling to say the least. Him and Oakley-Boothe (who I assume is injured! 🤦‍♂️) were both ridiculous signings, both inferior to Carey (who hasn't even looked that promising himself so...

40 sounds generous based off this exchange.

They missed the 2 best chances of the game, one at either end of the pitch.

That's absolute rubbish on both counts, Stewart on 9k a week is laughable. Read the other posts on here other than the interaction we've had, I've agreed with several points that others have made. What you actually mean is that just because my opinion differs to yours and I (and others on here)...

Exactly. We will more than likely have paid the amount towards his wages that matched our highest earner (rumoured to be Jerry on between £5k and £6k a week) and then a trivial fee of perhaps £50k or so. Of course I still recognise that there is a fairly substantial cost to the club when...

Of course there is a gamble when signing these players, but it's not like a £500,000 signing would be worth nothing in a year or 2 even if they didn't go on to fulfill their full potential and end up being worth several million. More than likely they would still prove to be solid signings, even...

I don't doubt that he's doing the right thing in investing in the infrastructure and looking to be savvy with the recruitment of players and I applaud him for that, the original post wasn't intended to be criticism as such, more confusion. I think it's highly unlikely that a club such as ours...

As I've mentioned in response to other posters, who was referred to "massive amounts of money"? A fee of say £500k each on a couple of quality players who may be worth several million in a couple of years time is not massive money to a side that has received roughly £6m for selling it's 2 best...
