Not having that. If the current DF situation tells us anything, it's that you can just be responsible for the good stuff. It was a great time for Vale, but Rudge wouldn't have worked without Bell and vice versa.

A lot of positives to take. Lots of negatives too, but we look better. Grant is no full back. Loft can't score. Jones is poo. I think we have enough. Impressed with Weir. Mighten too. -

Agreed. Just frustrates me that these talented wingers sit on the bench. -

Some of the melodrama is a bit much, mind. Things have been much worse, not that things are great now. People like Mark Porter, "Dicko" and the like seem to love attention. Because you run a coach, you don't get to choose the manager and pick the team. Some of the drivel they spout online is unreal. -

Connor Ripley is excellent. I imagine you know that. Sorry, #Excellent. -

That Alex Mighten signing still baffles me. It's like the Politic one. Just doesn't fit the system, and we aren't going to change. -

I'm one of the few who think we'll be ok, mate. DoF just seems like a Teflon position to me. On that podcast he said he asked AC, "how can I help you do better?" We just didn't hear what AC asked for, so how do we know if it was delivered? The infrastructure side is vital, and I'm a huge advocate of patience. I wouldn't have sacked AC, for example. But I'm wary of anyone who's in a role where he's only responsible for the things that go well. -

If Flitcroft was responsible for getting us up, isn't he responsible for this? -

That's like Russians listening to state TV news. It was a pretty friendly interview. I'm not interested in the amazing players we didn't get. I also don't care if DF works hard. I want to know why we rebuild the squad every year, why we had Lowe at CM and they had Pett, and what Ryan Lowe games he watched when he was tracking him! -

Is being a footballer your job? -

If we wanted to play this way, why we let Woz and Benning go, I have no idea. The Ellis Harrison decision might be the worst of all. -

Still upbeat and think we'll be fine this season, but I can imagine the tone on here would be different with that line-up a couple of week ago. Jesse is our best defender atm, Loft is woeful and Lowe is no CM for me. Proof that if you say 'football club' enough in an interview, the fans think you know your stuff. Still, I like Moore and think he'll do well. VALE 1-0 -

I'd love that Tolaj from Aldershot. Or Donley from Spurs! -

In terms of a striker signing, more than happy to go with a relative unknown if they match the profile we're after. Stockton, Telford, Maynard we're all expensive mistakes for other clubs and even at PL level, good goal scorers are increasingly rare. We've got to stay calm and trust the decisions being made... so far the quality in the window has been good. It may be that our next 20 goal striker is Dipepa. It's the way more and more clubs will be looking to operate. -

Tommy Widdrington connection too. Hated him when he got sent off for nearly snapping JJ at Vale Park. Loved him for us. -

I thought I was so clever! TBF, I'd take him over Loft as No9. -

Maybe Ryan Lowe should start betting on Vale games. He'd get off on the argument that he couldn't influence them! -

I'm doing Dry January. I view the FA'S stance on the Toney case in the same way I view the people trying to convince me to drink when I've driven the pub. -

Exactly. The ads are relentless and the sponsorship is appalling. I love betting, but it's just everywhere. The PL have made it synonymous with the sport. Hypocrisy is the word. -

Toney shouldn't have been banned at all in my opinion. -

1) She bought the club at an inflated price to save it. 2) it's not your money to spend. 3) cash isn't the only way to succeed. -

Bristol City fan mate of mine mentioned they're probably going to loan out Sam Bell, Mickey Bell's lad. Could be a good option. Plays with Ollie and Alfie in the U20s. -

I wouldn't mind a pop at Tshimanga from Posh. I know he's struggled since moving up to L1, but he's a good age and could so well in the right environment.
