2022-2023 Squad 00:29 - Apr 10 with 68270 views | HullDale | Just had a quick look at the squad, and who is contracted for next season: Contracted for 2022/23 Sam Graham - Summer 2023 Max Taylor - Summer 2023 Aidy White - Summer 2023 Liam Kelly - Summer 2023 Conor Grant - Summer 2023 Jimmy Keohane - Summer 2023 James Ball - Summer 2024 Ethan Brierley - January 2024 Abraham Odoh - Summer 2023 Luke Charman - Summer 2024 Tahvon Campbell - Summer 2024 Out of Contract Joel Coleman Jay Lynch Brad Wade Jim McNulty Eoghan O'Connell Jeriel Dorsett (loan expires) Joe Dunne Corey O’Keeffe Paul Downing (loan expires) Max Clark George Broadbent (loan expires) Stephen Dooley Alex Newby Josh Andrews (loan expires) Danny Cashman (loan expires) Matt Done 10 players contracted, 17 either out of contract or loan expiring. I half expect us to try and sign Broadbent & Dorsett permanently, but one thing is for certain - 2022/2023 will be a fully Stockdale squad. Out of everybody in contract for next season only Keohane & Grant are survivors from the BBM era! Hopefully the rumoured increased playing budget, coupled with a more settled club and experience from this season, will see a more competitive team next season. [Post edited 10 Apr 2022 10:11]

2022-2023 Squad on 20:47 - Nov 20 by D_Alien | Genuine question (what else?) - but EBJ has the option of starting SAJ in midfield, or Malley, or someone else who 'qualifies' as a footballer, rather than a "fraud" or a "waster" Why do you think EBJ keeps selecting him?

Malley isn’t good enough imo and as much as I like Keohane, I’d don’t think he’s good enough as a central midfielder. If we’re going to play him further forward then I’d prefer him as a left wing back personally. Balls attitude stinks for me and like I said, I can handle lack of talent but not lack of effort. He’s bone idle and for a professional footballer to be blowing out of his arse after half an hour so far into a season is staggering. | | | |

I can appreciate where you're coming from, believe me, but what's happening in training for Ball to appear to be unable to push himself for 90 minutes? Surely there's more to it than him just appearing to be lazy or unfit? It doesn't make sense to berate a player when the manager starts him after seeing him in training all week | |

I’ve just lost patience with him, I really have. I think you know I’m never one to normally single out any player but I’m sick of seeing it now and perhaps the manager has seen the same but has his hands tied with the lack of depth in the squad. Or maybe he sees something I don’t (more than possible) and he’s happy with how the player is performing. I remember saying earlier in the season that I’d love for Ball to prove me wrong but I’m just not seeing anything to change my mind. I don’t like using derogatory names for one of our own players but watching him strut about the pitch without an apparent care in the world is getting to me now. | | | |

Fair enough. It'll be interesting to see how EBJ uses him over the next few weeks, especially when Kelly's back and the manager may have brought in other options in January I'm pretty sure Ball will still be here, unless Solihull want him back at a fee below what we paid | |

I think it's because Ball offers more of a physical presence and playing Brierley alongside a Kelly, Malley or Keohane leaves us looking very lightweight and potentially even vulnerable from set-pieces with a lack of height. That said, I think it's time for Bentley to sacrifice that physicality for a player who can actually control and pass a football because that seems to be something that Ball finds very difficult. Like Kel alludes to, as with most of the decisions Bentley is having to make at the minute, his hand is being forced by the frankly pathetic squad left to him by Stockdale. | |

2022-2023 Squad on 11:21 - Nov 21 with 5325 views | electricblue | What is happening with Rayhann Tulloch the loanee from WBA! According to RS who said he was a good young exciting fast player with stats that says he is an attacking central midfielder. Why not try him playing with Quiggs upfront and with Tulloch looking to attack the loose ball..... Anything is worth a try... | |

2022-2023 Squad on 11:28 - Nov 21 with 5311 views | EllDale | RS is getting some stick (and rightly so) for shocking recruitment but I wonder how much of the blame should jointly be assigned to Jimmy Shan? Did he, for example, manage Ball at Solihull, and recommend him? | | | |

The lad can’t control a football so I doubt he’d be much of a threat in front of goal either, especially latching onto a “loose ball”. | | | | Login to get fewer ads
2022-2023 Squad on 12:35 - Nov 21 with 5250 views | HullDale | It looked like Ball had a kick off in the dugout when he was subbed off on Saturday... I commented at the time that EBJ will either be ripping about it or actually pleased as it at least showed passion - still not sure which I think is the case. The Accy celebration, his reaction on Saturday & cryptic social media posts coupled with poor performances and what appears to he general unfitness lead me to think Ball being at Rochdale isn't good for him or for us. Could we offload him & look to rescue Lund from Salford? That would be a decent bit of business. | | | |

I thought it was interesting that Bentley didn't do the post-match interview. Maybe he gave them the bollocking of a lifetime after the game. If Ball was kicking off about , being subbed, he has has the solution in his own hands, work harder, be the footballer he thinks he is not the one we all see. | | | |

2022-2023 Squad on 10:38 - Apr 16 by EllDale | There’s talk about signing Downing but would he, even if wages could be agreed, want to potentially go through another season like the one we’ve just endured? He’ll probably see himself as a League One player. I’ve just written on another thread that one player I’d love to see in a Dale shirt is Piergianna from Oldham. |
The one that plays for second placed Stevenage? I liked his presence when we played them last, just not sure how technical he is, as at the time he may aswell took a deck chair on the pitch when we played them. | | | |

Crikey, We're stuck with most of them for another year. O'Donnell.... needs to show early season form, and come off his line . Has cost us a few goals recently. Slicker. Looked assured when he played earlier in the season, but only a kid so will make mistakes. Kelly. Why 3 keepers when we are skint? EEL. Never a captain. Not the same as he was when on loan Crikey...here another year after this season. Graham...has gone from being hopeless to being bang average, and one of our more consistent players. McNulty Should retire now. Not been good enough for a couple of seasons. That people at the club can't see this is amazing. Cameron John. Awful passer. God knows why he got a 2 year deal. Hasn't shown anything that makes me understand why we signed him. Max Taylor. Hasn't played for ages. Again, silly to give him a new deal. Ben Nelson. Thought he looked ok in brief cameos. Probably hates it here if he can't get a game in front of some who get picked. Aidy White. This years sick note. was good 10 years ago, but now a liability Femi Seriki Started with lots of promise. Now seems to have lost confidence. Keohane: Nowhere near as good as he was. Too slow and always passes like a crab. Any team who plays with a winger will have a field day against him. Kelly: Curates egg. Good in parts, but makes mistakes especially when he defends. Has a goal in him though. Ball: Oh dear. Non league standard. Can't keep up with L2 pace. Poor signing. Can score the odd goal mind. Ethan Brierley : Will be a good player unless playing with an awful midfield ruins his confidence. Probably our only saleable asset. Connor Malley : Meh. Not seen too much to get excited about. slightly better than some but not by much. Diagouraga: Could tell he had been a good player earlier in the season. Now looks like a carthorse who has no pace. Should retire gracefully. Scanlon . Who? Tulloch . Ditto Odoh: Looks to be our only player who can run forward with the ball. Until he gets within 30 yards of goal when he becomes hopeless. Really, probably playing well above his level, but our best attacking midfield player, albeit one who can't shoot. Hendo . Has lost a couple of yards of pace. Impact player from bench now and no more. Doesn't get involved for long spells during games. Can still score the odd goal mind. Campbell. Sick note Jeez... another year as well !! Rodney . Only place he can possibly be anywhere near the first team is at centre forward where his pace might cause problems. Never a winger in a million years. Sinclair. Shows the odd glimpse of talent, but very little impact. Quigley. Started brightly, but had faded since getting injured. Still not fit imho. We desperately need him to find form but he looks slow. Lloyd. Hope he is over the long term serious injury he had last season, will be good if he has recovered. I have tried to be honest with my assessments without being too scathing. Basically; it underlines what many are saying. The squad is very poor and will need open heart surgery in January to give us a chance of staying up. | | | |

The excuse that this isn't his team has been used now for me, & we need to see the players he has brought in running through brick walls now for him to save our league status.
