Can remember seeing him play in that League Cup game against Villa at the Amex a couple of season's ago, he looked like a little boy lining up next to Shane Duffy at centre back.
Well l would suggest that thats one of the reasons that he is there, to get used to playing against bigger boys. He needs to grow, both physically and mentally.
Well yes, but he is still only an 18 year old kid though, and all of the teams in the Football League are playing a lot of games at the moment, so they may well just be resting him from a few. Not a bad idea as his development needs to be managed properly.
I stand corrected, it just seems to me that Rochdale have been at the arse end of the old Fourth Division since time immemorial. :bowdown:
I do think though that it's still too early for him to be contemplating Championship football, and that another season at Spotland would serve him in...
Just like that huh? He has had one season with League 2 Rochdale, and you think he is ready to play regular Championship football? further more then be included in our Premier League squad?
He is only 18 and has played hardly any senior football. Give him time to develop!
