Was keeping an eye on players from L2 and NL who are now out of contract and thought it would be great to start a thread of any recommendations.
Reice Charles-Cook is a keeper released from Bromley. Fans are absolutely gutted he's leaving and may be a shout to fill out number 1 spot.
I think Callum Ainley is now out of contract from Crewe as well. Although he's an attacking midfielder which is a position we have pretty much covered.

No, we don't sign left backs. That isn't the Rochdale way.
We sign strikers with questionable scoring records and tell them they are left backs!
It's an age old tradition like Chippy Friday and Bury fans talking about playing in the Premier in a few years as whatever chancer owns them at the time sells their silverware and the keys to gigg lane to the scrap metal man. | | | |

Assuming we're going to sign a replacement for O'Donnell, I'd take a look at Kieran O'Hara. I posted the same recommendation last year but he wound up at Colchester. He's free again. | | | |

I might be ambitious, but I would like to resign Dodgson, back on loan from Burnley to full the left back role.
Right back - I would consider going for Sammy Robinson, who can play at central defence or right back after his release from Port Vale or Luke Matherson.
Kieran O'Hara would possible make a good signing and is Manchester born.
But it is down to money and we all know how the budget as been cut drastically by the board, so we are looking for the cheapest options possible. I was hoping for more incoming by now, because our first pre-season game on Saturday.
I was surprised to see Eastleigh sign Aidan Barlow following his release from Doncaster, I was hoping we would make a try to sign him. | | | |

I would imagine Burnley will want Dodgson to play at a higher level than the one he experienced next year, as part of his development. |  |

Danny Lloyd hasnt signed for anyone yet ? Is it unrealistic to think, with four weeks of preseason left, that he might return ? | | | |

O’Hara played against us when we won at Colchester last season. He was absolutely dreadful and was getting booed by his own fans.
All players have off days but I don’t think the Colchester fans reaction was based on one game. |  | | |

Yes. |
I don't know! Yes he's far too good for NL level but if there's little to no interest, surely a 6 month deal here on some money is better than not playing football and earning nowt |  | | |

There's still a month until the season starts, he'll get a deal in the EFL. |  |

I believe that Sam Minikin is available. Plenty of experience at this level and local-ish. | | | |

Did we not release him, seems like decades ago? | | | |
| Realistic signings on 16:08 - Jul 5 with 4592 views | EllDale |
Yes, he was a youth player with Dale.
Had a good spell at Stockport after being released and was at Halifax last season. | | | |
| Realistic signings on 16:14 - Jul 5 with 4572 views | leedsdale |
He’s been on trial at Fylde and looks to be signing for them |  | | |

Might be totally wrong,but thought he played one game for first team and was "Man of the match" ,but then age can play some awful tricks with the memory(or perhaps it was me who thought he should have been) | | | |

Good effort!
Ryan Schofield played in the first team at Huddersfield so may want to stay in the EFL.
Doubt if Mason O'Malley would want to come after the events of just over a year ago! | | | |

I don’t think any footballer would turn down a contract offer on the basis of a few coked up bellends getting in his face. |  | | |

What about Taft from Scunthorpe - has played LB previously and is 6’3
Lot of NL experience. | | | |
