Apologies if this has been mentioned on another thread (feel free to delete if it has) but twitter rumours are saying Dale Tonge has joined the coaching staff.

Good lad is Dale , worked with Daniel Stendel over here and was his assistant when Stendel's original assistant did one to Huddersfield half way through the league one promotion season .

Very well respected lad .

If it's true then it's a step in the right direction.

We know all about Dale with him having played more than 160 games for us.

Er, we know. Dale spent 6 years at RUFC, more time than at any other club, and was/is very well thought of. Hes seen as a model professional and well respected.

Let’s hope so

Who’s he stepping in for or is he extra?
Get Wood to help as well and need to calm Icky down before we have to send him to Stanley again 😂

So if we need a defensive coach as one or two on here are always banging on about, don't we also need a midfield coach and an attacking coach because those areas of the team are equally in need of serious attention?
Incidentally, just remember we have had a goalkeeping coach for years but people consistently say Blackman is hopeless and the previous two on-loan keepers received a fair bit of criticism too.
Makes you wonder where it will all end don't it?😉
