When Jim was recruiting new players during the summer I personally thought that the recruitment of a new goalkeeper was of major importance.
When I read that we had signed a 17 year old from Man City on a seasons loan I did not think that this was a wise decision. There is such a difference in playing Academy football to the rigors of The National League and I thought the step up would be too much.
How wrong was I. Whatmuff is one of the best keepers I have seen for Rochdale and whoever initiated the move deserves a medal.
He is such a competent, cool, composed keeper and has brought such a calmness to our defence. What a signing!!! If his progress continues he will have a stellar career.
By the way does anyone know if he is left or right footed because he kicks just as well with either? |  | | |  |

His progress has been steady so far.
I think we need to see him when we have tougher opposition than we have faced up,to now.
Our back line generally has been effective and they clearly have confidence in the fella.
Hopefully City will let us keep him for the season but I would imagine there will be a call back option should they wish to loan him further up,the pyramid | | | |

Would be a shame if City recall him. We've seen what happens to young players further up the pypamid: warming the subs bench at best. |  |

He seems to have transformed the team, especially the defence, All the negative things the manager preaches, has changed to a more positive and confident attitude throughout the team. A great young man, performs well above his tender age. |  | | |

I too thought 17 was too young for the National League in goals.
I was wrong.. this kid is amazing. Looks 25 and plays like an experienced pro.
He is on a season loan… enjoying himself playing men’s football.
Superb signing! | | | |

Nice to see that he has been called up for the England under 19 squad.
Great recognition for him and also some credit must go to the club as well.
Perhaps this will also strengthen the links with Man City and they may want to send more young players to us on loan. | | | |

Oli appeared iin one of the two games played by the under 19's over the last ten days. If as expected he is called up for their U19's Euro qualifiers in November he will miss the games against York away and Aldershot at home. Unfortunately, he will be a big miss which does speak volumes for the impact he has made since being here. Nevertheless, all credit to him and I hope if selected he does well and continues his progress up the ranks. [Post edited 16 Oct 12:36]

Does anybody know why our back up keeper didn't play against York, is he injured? |  | | |

You would hope so - he wasn't on the bench so presume he was injured as we could name 7 subs. |  |

He was used during warm ups. Jims choice. |  |
