Nope. Nothing, nadda, zilch. Waste of money.We've signed that many players for the development team non of them seem to develop
Oliver Casey?We've signed that many players for the development team non of them seem to develop
He signed from Leeds.Oliver Casey?
He joined after the 21 season when he was playing for their development squadHe signed from Leeds.
If your mixed up with Carey he wasn't signed for the development squad.
Ominous not getting much game time at a team mid-table in the Conference!Sassi was an unused for Rochdale last night. He is not getting much game time at all and would have been better off back here playing for the reserves/development squad!
Read on here though that they were playing him in midfield , instead of defence.Ominous not getting much game time at a team mid-table in the Conference!
100%.You've got to love these threads, where some make similar mistakes to writing some other players off after a few performances when they aren't fit.
The dev squad was always going to take time, then we had it slowed down by covid, disrupted by the big changes in big positions at the club and also relegation.
It also takes time to get a conveyor belt going. There's always that period at the start where you're building it up, getting the pieces in place, the right people to devel players etc and we have improved at recruitment as we've gone on, also waiting for some to progress.
Once you have players at various stages you'll then see the rewards, like we will with Rob Apter and then more in the pipeline will likely follow.
On something like this you need a longer term vision and mentality.
You might as well talk to a brick wall AlfieSassi is gaining experience at Rochdale & Finnigan is getting up to full fitness, FFS give them a chance to settle in!.
Not pointless to me, or others. I have learned a few things about these two players on this thread. Thanks for contributing.Pointless thread and OP, so the players we sign don’t immediately make contributions, so what?
Casey didn’t immediately contribute and is now one of our best players.
That was for one game only, away at Barnet. For the rest of the time he has been sat on the bench and brought on as a very late substitute or not used at all!Read on here though that they were playing him in midfield , instead of defence.
Then agree , a complete waste of his time, bring back to train with us.That was for one game only, away at Barnet. For the rest of the time he has been sat on the bench and brought on as a very late substitute or not used at all!
