Just wondering can we have Mendez-Laing back? Great to see he's doing well he was a brilliant player for us too good for league one.

How the hell did you manage to keep him under the radar for so long?

There's always a bigger fish wanting to spirit away your best players.

If he keeps this up for a season, we'll do well to hold on to him too!

Best of luck fella.

Haha don't think we have spare 100k :lol:

Sorry mate.
He's doing really well here, beyond all expectations.
Apart from the goals and his obvious pace he also puts in s shift defensively too. Warnock likened him to a wingback on Saturday.
Are there any chunks to his armour , any thing we should be wary of?

He couldn't get in our side until Christmas when he came from Peterborough he was unfit but seemed last season he got his fitness back on track and his performances followed.

Hi Streety,
He's certainly hit the ground running with us.
Long may it continue.
In all fairness I can't remember a time we have played so well consistently and he really has added something a little bit special to this team.
Have you got any more hidden gems that we can take advantage of? haha
Hope you have a decent season.

Well mate I can't thank you lot enough for letting us have him, so much so I'll be rooting for Rochdale to do well this season. I hope you enjoy yourselves :ayatollah:

Inconsistency at times (seems to have fixed that 5 in 5!) for Dale he would sometimes go missing in games and his head can drop if it's not going his way.

Cheers, Jamie Allen and Callum Camps probably our two little gems both youth team products (Allen's made 150 apps and he's only 21) thinking mid table for us or lower if we don't sort this defence out!

I hope we don't meet.
We are hoping for a Big prem team at home if we get through but good luck against Stoke. That will be a big ask of your guys but I shall be looking out for the results coming in and hoping you get through.

Fair enough I Miss the chant
Oh Mendez-Laing oh he is so wonderful,
When he scores a goal,
Oh it's beautiful, magical,
When he runs down the wing, he's as fast as lightning,
It's frightening,
And he makes the Dale sing,
Dada da dadada etc

I remember seeing Rochdale play Darlington at Spotland when the City's game against Bolton Wanderers was called off, I think it was in the mid to late 70's.

Yeah, thanks for NML ... he's everything we could have hoped for and more! :occasion5:

I think that game was Workington and they went out of the league that year.They won 3-0 i think and all come over to the Cardiff fans at the end as if they won the f.a. cup.
