I know we’ve been struggling at wing back most of the season and I know we need people back from injury. But call me a miserable old cynic, I saw that in amongst the <ovf censored> on Twitter that Mitch Clark replied to one of the clubs posts (probably the open letter Carol tweet) with an attention seeking post of his own about it great to be back in the grass. I’ve noticed hes done this a lot over the last few years, puts a comment to get a attention from fans (usually our own), but I felt his reply to the clubs open letter was the wrong time and place to put it. Anyway hopefully he’s back soon and has managed to find some form whilst he’s been away.

Was it raised by DC? I'm pretty certain it's a Flitcroftism.
I thought it was DC but happy to be corrected. IIRC they talked about small margins to try and give the players a boost on matchdays.

My Point is what's the point of having state of the art training facilities when the majority of the players we have are of league two standard
Are you being serious?
If we want to attract players then training facilities are one of the things they think about. Our training pitches are heavy and need redoing so as to minimise injuries and to enable us to have decent sessions. A point raised by DC was that constantly using the club dressing room means it loses its special appeal come a Saturday, that’s why separate dressing rooms and new gym facilities are needed separate to the ground, a proper training complex if you like.

It’s all well and good listing the clubs “achievements” since they took over. For which fans are grateful for. But we don’t need reminding of it and for that to be seemingly used as something to try make us feel guilty about for daring to question what’s going on. But what’s neglected in that letter is matters on the pitch, this is the here and now and we are a club in danger of being relegated. We have just come out of our second successive January weaker than when we went into it and we have also sacked our manager straight after the window yet again. As chair of the club they have to take the rough with the smooth, it’s not always going to go well and it’s very easy to walk on the pitch smiling and waving when things are good. They have to put this right and seeing as Flitcroft is in charge of all matters on the pitch then who else should be vented at? Dare I say that the people at the top could have taken their eye off the ball whilst concentrating on everything else around the team.

Benning was <ovf censored>, and so is Grant. Wouldn't have either of them anywhere near the first 11. But we are where we are!
We are hamstrung by this 3 at the back nonsense. Play Benning as a left back and he’s a steady player, as seems to be the case at Shrewsbury for him now. Tonight highlighted how poor our options are if we need to go 4 at the back in a game as we have no fullbacks. Should have gone out in jan and got a right and left back.

That’s a crazy statement. Why would or should they put the details of a sacking, if that’s what it was, out into the public domain? That information is private and the only way that would change would be if there was criminal activity resulting in a court case, which clearly there wasn’t.
I spoke to Colin not long after he left and he said to me that he did not leave of his own accord and that he didn’t want to leave.

I disagree.
When he was dealt a great hand with Arblaster & Devine he still messed it up.
In fact, even we had signed a striker, it may have shown Crosby up even more
I disagree. No way were Arblaster and Devine going to carry this team singlehanded.

This isn't really the logic or reasoning I would be using if recruiting players but 'There you go'. Especially, the geezer being from non league, scoring 1 in 12. A bit desparate.
I never said it was the logic or reasoning anyone uses for a signing. You’re just blinkered by a goal ratio stat. But it's not just about goal ratios, we all know how DC likes to play, he could be a physical target man to hold the ball up, he could be someone that runs channels and causes problems. He may have other attributes to bring to a team. He could even score the winner or get an assist against us.
We’ve signed no one up front.

Like I say, they've paid their money. They're entitled to an opinion. That's reality.
Another reality is that a lot of those fans doing it are clueless too.

Always has been and always will be like that whether it’s right or wrong you're in the public eye! I'd love someone to call me sh** every week if it meant I was on their money! That's the reality. At the end of the day we pay money to see this as its our form of entertainment within the community as lont as its not taken to an extreme I.e harassment or threats than an opinion will always be that.
Someone’s having a poor game, a poor run of form, has just misplaced a pass or made a mistake or heaven forbid passed it backwards… what’s the best way to give that player some support? I know some fat middle aged blokes booing them and calling them <ovf censored>, that’s how.
The money doesn’t matter and football isn’t just about entertainment.

Averages out at 4 per season?
What's all the fuss about?
Well if that striker comes in and only scores one goal and it’s the one it takes to win a tight game at the end of the season that keeps them up then goal ratios mean nothing. It’s also another body. When you need fresh legs or something to change things up a bit. With us being light on strikers we don’t have that opportunity.

Been slowly catching up on the transfer news and was about to say that Cass’s agent must be a magician to get him a loan to Stockport. Than I read that he’s worked under their manager before.

Maybe to score goals? Surely, we wouldn't be happy with a 1 in 12 from non-league? Be pandemonium on here!
1 in 12 in non league is better than the nothing we’ve currently signed though isn’t it.

Cambridge have also signed someone who’s scored a few goals before.

Regarding Tommy McDermott. There’s sometimes a lot of luck involved in football when kids or players get scouted or picked up by another club. Someone could have been watching on a particular day who sees something in him that no one else has, a particular skill or attribute. Maybe on that day he ticks a box for a type of player they’re looking for. Dont blame him for going. He probably wasn’t going anywhere here, he’s got himself an instant pay rise and more levels of football to drop down to on loan or to develop. Good luck to him.

Just spoken to my m8 who's given me the details I've shared in the past.
He tells me that Williams is definitely not injured and was sent back because of his personal conduct. But Vale won't deviate from the line that he's injured as it's more important to us to keep the new relationship with Liverpool sweet.
Apparently Liverpool are very apologetic and thankful we've kept a lid on it. Might get more out of them in the future. ..??
It’s not the first time we’ve done something like that. Mitch Clark springs to mind too. Young players are idiots if they act like that, word of mouth in football means a lot.

Should have had a medical on his return from Aberdeen?
No why would he? He was going back to his parent club.
it could have been missed. He might not have told Liverpool about it. It could have been more serious than he thought it was. Or who knows with football, it could be a smokescreen for another reason .

No, but you'd think that a huge club like Liverpool would have a forensic knowledge of one of their promising young player's condition. They would know if it was suitable for him to go out and play, and know if he wasn't in any condition to go out on loan.
If he’d told them about the injury he had of course.

You'd think so - but easier to take the piss out of the Vale!
Liverpool don’t give a medical to player moving to another club though. The club they’re going to should do that.

As daft as it may sound a performance like this on live tv could see a league club come in for him.

I really struggle to get excited about an untried youngster coming in on loan. All being well he works out like Arblaster and Devine did.

I think it’s also worth noting that in jones time with us Im struggling to think of much good that he’s done for us where he’s made a difference or an impact.
