Owen Dale

I think we need players in before we loan more out. You can't just use last night's game as an example, let Appleton see him and the other players a few times before we discard anyone else.
 
What is it with trying to get rid of players already on this board in the last 24hrs-
Keogh
Garbutt
CJ
Maxwell
Yates
Dougall
Husband
Now Dale how on earth do you replace all these contracted players unless spending a small fortune on revenue of only 8k ST holders?

We need a squad of 25 not forgetting the five sub rule this season it's a pipe dream we'll be letting all these go.

After another couple of games it may be quicker to start threads on those that are good enough. This instant fix society in painful.
 
Dale Tharme and beesley out on loan opens up squad spaces for 5 signings, not including any U21 loans we may get
 
Everybody is looking at the players as individuals, the managers job is to make the team stronger than the sum of its parts. Some of our players are fairly limited but if Appleton can bring in some quality to sprinkle around the first 11 then 7 average and 4 good can make a competitive team.
What I would say is there are 3 or 4 that I could name who are probably below average in the Championship, get them out and bring in 4 upgrades and we should be OK.

If SS reads this board, which he says that he does from time to time, I'm sure he, like the rest of us, understands that conjecture by ill informed fans is just part and parcel of the deal.

It’s about being able to look straight through the bed wetters and see them for what they are, if we can then I’m sure SS, BM and others can. Unfortunately it’s the social media world we now live in as damaging as it can be.

Seemingly on my own but I think there’s a good player in Dale and looking forward to see him kick on with us this season

He seems a confidence player. He’s had injury and fitness issues so pre season is critical for him.

We’ve seen flashes of real talent and brilliance. He’s got flair and creativity but at present lacks consistency and maybe even belief? He could be the surprise contributor next season - likewise he could not get the consistency and Appy will discard.

I’ve been critical too but unlike Kirk who seemed very one dimensional, Dale has real potential if it can click some how?

He's still training regularly at the gym in Warrington. I'm told he could cause an argument in an empty house, let's hope we see some that aggression come out of him on the pitch to liven our midfield up 👿

The club took him on loan and then signed him permanently, they've seen far more of him than any of us have so I'm happy to accept their opinion.

I am sure it won't be just 1 match that has made these decisions . He will be watching the training and getting advice from his seconds.

No doubt, I'm sure he's also analysing footage from last season. Regardless, Appleton wants to play a different way to that under Critchley. Some players may not fit into the new system. So many variables but Dale is technically quite good and does have a trick or 2.
 
Some of the coments on here regarding this player are out of order, Owen Dale has a lot of ability & he
could well prosper under the new Coach as apposed to Critchley. In a front 3 he may prove to be just
the player we need in a match day squad of 18 players

Be interesting to see his stats comparison for Blackpool, goals/assists to minutes on the pitch. Scored goal of season last year if they hadn't already judged it!

Think it was 2 goals 2 assists from 15 appearances. 7 starts with 3x 90 mins. Worked out about 45 mins a game.

Scored at Reading and set one up
Set Gary Goals up for a tap in at Cov
The goal at Barnsley.

Something like that anyway. Don't have access to club sourced data for the amount of crosses put in that nobody made anything of or stuff like that.

OK I think considering he was in and out of the team in a set up more wary of conceding than all-out to score.

One of many in the squad where it'd probably work better in league one, so we'll just have to see what MA can do to stave that natural level off from finding us again. Critchley had a way of making you totally frustrated with a 1-0 win until you could feel the value of the three points at the end. Might be a tough act to follow when we look back. Particularly with the recruitment drive yet to get out of neutral.

So 2 goals and 2 assists including goal of the season for me, in roughly 7 full games, I’d guess best stats out of the squad!
