Guppys left peg

Going for 1-0 also but don’t think Planty has scored yet this season. I think he’s due one today.

Guess one is Massey?

Fair enough lineup, what I expected. Come on Vale!!!

A concept Luke Rodgers used to struggle with his entire career in fairness.

Way before I recall Fulham had looked at Joe Anyon even taking him on trial iirc. If clubs are willing to offer decent money for these players we simply have to take it, you just never know how these players will turn out. Even those touted as wonder kids from an early age like Freddy Adu back in the day there’s no guarantee they make it.

He did that day but I think Arblaster is just an outlier in terms of loans for us. Caught a bit of his game v Fulham the other day and he looked a good premier league footballer. Devine by comparison on the other hand when he first got here not to say he was bad but I certainly didn’t see generational talent like Tottenham fans said. It took time to get going and then he was good (incidentally Plymouth fans are far from sold on him). We’ll never know now unfortunately with Gore if he’d have done similar.

The injury fair enough but are you seriously judging a players ability off approx 50 minutes of action when he’d barely trained with the squad and was thrown in alongside Weir against the best in the league? Thats a little unreasonable. It was just a hypothetical anyway as it was the first name that came to mind, could be anyone else they might offer first dibs on.

Just been to purchase one and that kiosk outside the away end is still there for anyone paying on the day. Fourth time coming here. Best one was the first time under Askey when we beat them 2-1 with 10 men. Was a David Worrall masterclass that day and think Pope hit his 100th Vale goal to win it. Similar result minus the red card will do me just fine.

It’s simply not realistic for us to take that gamble. Clubs like them can afford to give up decent sums on potential and who knows how Baylee ultimately turns out as a player. Could injury derail him or whatever? It’s not a position we are in. Looking at the article from Nixon United are keen to make it happen as I daresay the likes of Arsenal will no doubt start looking too so am pretty certain any deal would be beneficial to us too. Maybe they throw in a full season of Dan Gore on loan and see what he can really do as well to sweeten it for us.

Yep, I’m doing that tomorrow. There’s a kiosk just outside the away end you can get them from.

Ideally the best club for him develop at would be a Brighton or Brentford. They have a great track record at developing talent and that would then bring in a good chance of the big sell on. It is a legitimate concern about going to Man Utd but then it’s a chance to maybe one day play for one of if not the biggest clubs in the world.

Expect this will be a sterner challenge for us. Northampton a decent side and have a manager I really rate in Jon Brady. Surprised his name never gets linked when vacancies higher up become open to be honest. We seem to be operating more as a unit now both defensively and going forward so hopefully can carry that into this one. Draw wouldn’t be the end of the world but no reason we can’t push for all three points.

Tried to avoid any of the away commentary since the lockdown season and we went to Tranmere with two of the most biased and parochial individuals I’ve ever had the misfortune to listen to. From that point on where possible have chosen to switch to the Vale one when watching on iFollow. Phil isn’t Barry Davies or John Motson but then I don’t expect him to be.

Alan Nixon also reporting the same thing. Apparently Jim Ratcliffe wants United to be at the forefront in snapping up any top young domestic talent so seems they are willing to do whatever it takes. Just as well we got Baylee on that 2 year pro deal now.

The obvious one would be Dipepa being watched by higher up clubs but I’d be surprised if he hadn’t been. Guess the other ones potentially are either thee future with the DOF position or maybe depending on Dan Gores injury status if he has gone back to Utd. Just for the summer please nobody suggest Hudlin after watching him last weekend at Burton. And if we are linked then the recruitment team to be fired on the spot.

The next stage in his development now will be as he keeps performing like this sooner than later opposition teams at this level are going to start marking him out for special treatment.. If he can overcome that then that is a huge plus for him.

Only the players would know but Funso who was vocal about Croz going has suddenly put together two strong performances again. Thats just putting two and two together. The team is certainly playing with a lot more energy now you’d certainly say that.

You can say on almost all goals there was something the defence could have done better. Defenders at this level hate players running at them. Always have and always will. Got to have a go though to make it happen and Baylee showed the confidence and technique to put them on their heels.

Full time, brilliantly done Vale. Great performance. 3 clean sheets in 4 as well. Bring on the Cobblers.

We’ve just got to take care of our business. Does show though we shouldn’t just treat Peterborough and Bolton as throwaways in our run-in. These teams will have their own pressures they’re dealing with and you never know what it could do to them.

Not sure if they’ve been doing some more fitness work lately in training but the energy levels in the last two games are night and day compared to before.

This Rovers keeper is an absolute competition winner. Looks as bad as some of the shockers we’ve had in the past. Nearly Lofty. Brilliant from Baylee again. That will be another £10m if anyone from City or Chelsea are reading…

Right we’ve been in this position before a few times. Keep going Vale, don’t give them any hope. This might be a chance to claw back some of that GD too.

BAYLEE that is filth!!!!

Decent half that for us I think. Another 45 like that Vale please. We’ve been putting some nice deliveries into the box mostly through Sang.
