Very luck to get an EFL gig: he must have a brilliant agent! |
He must have. Very luck of him. |  | | |

I’m actually willing to give Ball another shot, on the basis that he knows this league and by all accounts did well in it. As disastrous as he was last season, I think a lot of people forget that he did really impress when he first arrived.
John can go. Campbell I’d completely forgotten about until this thread. I assume he’s left the club seeing as he isn’t on any photos, though I still think he could do alright at this level. |
If Ball stays I hope people can give him a second chance. The abuse has got personal with him and it's all a bit sad. | | | |

i think hes capable of playing in league 2.
Sometimes played as if he had 50p pieces on his feet rather than footy boots.
Lacked confidence in front of goal but may do well at Harrogate with a more positive approach and better players around him | | | |

Completely agree; it all got a bit embarrassing to be honest and I felt uncomfortable watching some of the abuse. Time for a complete reset; if he wants to stay then fair play and we should absolutely give him another chance if he wants to prove himself. Him and Campbell have done well at this level so if they want to stay we should welcome them back; if not, then time for them to move on. |  | | |

When he first came to Spotland I had a lot of time for him, but it didn't last. I didn't abuse him, but the bottom line is he's a professional footballer and is paid to do a job. His body language and digs back at fans was totally uncalled for - let your football do the talking. I repeat, he's a professional footballer and is paid to do a job. If he does that, I'm certain his critics will be silenced (me included). |  |

I thought Ball would be OK watching his first few games, then iirc he was out of the team for a while and came back seeming less engaged and rather uninvolved. Maybe there was something going on behind the scenes. I also think he isnt a defensive midfielder despite his height, he looks more comfortable playing in a more advanced role, scoring the occasional goal. I suspect he is a frustrated forward being being cast as a midfielder. He needs to sort his head out and McNulty needs to figure out where he fits in the system. |  | | |

If Ball can sort his attitude out and get proper match fit he could still turn out to be an asset for us this coming season. Maybe not as a regular starter though. His main strength seems to be ability to weigh in with goals from midfield so played as an attacking midfielder with one or two more mobile midfielders behind/along side him could play to his strengths.
Hoping Gilmour and Cody Johnson can provide that. Last season Ball was mainly played alongside Diagouraga. Having two cardboard cut-outs in midfield could have provided more mobility than those two. | | | |

Exactly. If he performs, people will stop with the stick and people will get behind him. Unfortunately, based on how he played last season I really don't see him performing and think a move would suit both player and club.
If he's here and wearing a Dale shirt and giving 100% then I'll support him but from the position he was in at the end of last season I think that's really unlikely. |  |

Reading up on GIlmour, it seems he's more of an attacking midfielder than a central midfielder himself. | |

I thought Halifax fans had said he came into his own in a CDM role last season? |  | | |
