Based on 16 games played so far Won 5 & Lost 7 is more often than not ... |
… a record that isn't down to Morley, who is clearly good enough for League One football and is in the side on merit.
Who should be in the side ahead of him? [Post edited 3 Nov 2019 22:57]

Did anyone else think we had 2 clear shouts for a penalty in the second half? The first was a rugby tackle on McShane from a corner that was waved away and the second a shot blocked by a defender any goalkeeper would be proud of. Don 't seem to be getting the rub of the green with refs at the moment, not to mention some of their tackles for which Alby saw red last week for less. |
Alby deservedly saw red. I agree though you could easily make a case for the challenge on RND being a red card. |  |

MJW should not be anywhere near that team. It has improved at the back since we got shot of Delaney and McNumpty. Now we need to get rid of MJW and Andrew, but they must be replaced. | | | |

There was mention of MJW being better as part of a back three earlier in the thread, thus releasing our wingbacks. If we were to go with that formation, and once Jim McNulty is fit again, i'd much rather it was a McNulty/McShane/O'Connell combo
Reasons? 1) McNulty was in his best form for Dale (imo) this season until he got injured, playing with real authority. 2) He's naturally left-footed whereas, if McShane has any disadvantage at all, it's that he can't easily play the ball down the line being right-footed but instead has to transfer the ball to the right when bringing it out - a minor disadvantage at our level, i'd agree 3) MJW's last-line defensive qualities - or lack of them - are there for all to see |  |

Agree about McNulty's form but McShane is only a short term cover so not sure your trio will work after December. Also that trio lacks the one thing MJW brings which is his passing ability, especially long balls (cf the ball to Done against MK Dons) but agree it would be a balance of stronger defensive trio versus one with more creative potential. | |
