Shocking post. Why would you try and start something like that? I’ve heard the commentators get other players mixed up too who aren’t black.

There’s no loyalty in football from clubs, players, managers etc. I wouldn’t blame him if he moved if a good offer comes in for him. He’ll know full well that there would be no loyalty towards him from the club if the shoe was on the other foot and it was them that wanted him out.

It’s amazing what a turnaround we’ve seen since DF went. I didn’t expect us to be so different. It’s like night and day.

Shocking from them. Great for us again though.

Exactly. Look at Cambridge too at Barnsley. It can be done.

All we can do is concentrate on ourselves.

We used to use their pitches for training if the weathers bad. They are well overdue an upgrade. Is that why we have been up at Roe Lane instead?

4 at the back or plant and sang wingbacks today?

They all should have a clause about a salary reduction if we go down. Usually it’s around a 25% cut.

Probably see some better games from the amateurs than we’ve been treated to from the first team.

i would imagine that Moore will want to cut some of them loose, maybe other clubs will take them and their contracts get cancelled without the need for a fee.

Do you know what you’re on about? You’ve moved your goalposts a bit. The club will decide on the track record of a prospective director of football / head of recruitment, not a bloke on a forum asking other fans what “gems they’ve unearthed”. It’s not just about “gems” to build a football team. Remember that was your sole question about Foyle and you took great pleasure in quoting yourself and saying no one could answer you. But how could they when fans know nothing about other clubs and their recruitment? Like I said it’s up to Vale to decide that.

This. Clubs will already be identifying targets and sorting their released list for next season.

It doesn’t bother me either way about Foyle, but I think it’s a daft question to ask about what gems he’s unearthed to justify him now being right for us. Because how would anyone know what gems he’s unearthed when no one is following the clubs he’s worked for? All people are seeing is that he’s been working in the game at that role for the last 10 years or so, on the face of it thats a lot of experience working as a head of recruitment. Also it’s not just necessarily about unearthing gems, it’s also about having the right contacts, building teams by bringing in the right type of players for them.

So I heard. Highly unlikely we’d have won out over Derby.

It was a veiled dig at him, no point trying to pretend otherwise and you know it was

And someone on here said he almost put it over the bar just so they could say something negative about it 🤣 it’s a good finish with a defender sliding in.

What I love about that is how happy the players are for Loft. They know the stick he’s been getting has been a disgrace. Loft seems low key when it goes in too, understandably so given how some fans have been with him. I’m happy for Loft. He’s been the scapegoat for Flitcrofts failings. I hope he can shake that now.

Under the previous recruitment regime we seemed to gravitate towards players with long injury records. You reap what you sow. Most players have some kind of injury record. Problem is that those players have been key to how we play and were usually straight back in when fit. Which says to me that recruitment wise we hadn’t quite got it right so that we had adequate strength and depth to be able to rotate players.

DM hinted that Clark is going to be out for the season, as is Dan Gore Someone said earlier we should get rid of Clark, not as easy as it sounds as I’m sure he still has a year left on his deal. Gore may as well go back (if he hasn’t already).

Caps off a good game for Loft that.

Yep. Sure he scored a couple against us for Scunthorpe a few years ago.

He’s never been a goal scoring striker.

Who are you talking about ?

(Bad miss aside) I think Lofts playing well today.
