What are people’s thoughts on JA.

There always have and will always be, people who seek to moan and bristle by proclaiming  ‘It told you so’’ when we do have a setback. They are the ones who think that being rescued from near obliteration, then not running away with the league, is poor showing and that steady progress equates to failure. We can’t do anything about that because that’s the way they are wired and will never change, so can only be ignored by those who air on the side of realism and positivity. If any proof of progress is needed, then, without getting too carried away, look at how many people are now raising their expectations, as a result of the rain check of the past couple of weeks. What were those expectations this time last year, let alone when we were playing our 36th game of the season?  Now tell me that we aren’t a better outfit all round. I can hear the sound of lips smacking at any prospect of impending doom already.

Good article on Askey from ‘The sack race’

Before the moaners get accepted by their title, they are praising him and saying what a good job he is doing.

https://www.thesackrace.com/news/4th-november-2019/three-ways-port-vale-have-found-an-identity-under-john-askey

The three things they point out are:

1. Clear tactical style playing 433

2. Excellent depth and balance in the squad

3. Fan backing

 

Excellent. 

Key words for me ' calming influence'.

Not someone who shoots his mouth off.

He does, however, have a quiet determination and humility.

Just what's required.

Especially in the face of knee jerking, fickle and impossible to please commentators.

Keep up the good work JA.

I also think his role at Macc where he basically ran the place from top to bottom is invaluable for us now as Carol and Kevin settle in.

On that video above, has anyone noticed the Vale fan in the black and white striped t-shirt spitting at (presumably) the Crewe keeper at 8:31?! Sure you can even hear it.

The kid in the black and white top spitting at the Crewe keeper should be banned.

We don’t need supporters like that.

Didnt know Popey wears a bra.

I think most fans have been broadly supportive of Askey. He's certainly on a high currently. If you look for progress the following are all probable starters midweek because they didn't play today:

Evans, Conlon, Atkinson, Brisley, Archer, Cullen, Browne

Considering he's got a lower budget than last season that's a squad with a lot more strength in reserve.

Exactly right... certain folk hammered him for getting one signing wrong.

The bench and squad a far far stronger than last year and JA should be applauded... and more Importantly given the time to continue the slow and steady improvement to rebuild the vale!

Wonder what Ernie reckons about him now? emoji23.png

Ernie ? Ernie ?

Who the hell is Ernie ?

Do some on here still give him any credit ?

This thread started with the Headline " What are people’s thoughts on JA.   I think he's answered all critics recently 

Is it time to close this thread and let him manage without having his every decision scrutinized every time ? he'll get somethings wrong but the vast majority are right !
