Match Thread: Walsall v Port Vale

[PVFC764]

Just heard who the commentators are.  Phil Sproston.  May listen to the home side commentators.  No doubt he will be bigging up his players on the books and picking fault with the other Vale players.  Even if they are having a mare and the others aren't.

I'm working away at the minute so haven't seen much vale news hence why I asked 

Essentially with Mills fit and Gibbo back shortly (and Smith able to fill in) at RB and Fitz/Monty and Crookes able to cover LB he will be sent back as we required other positions covering.

Apparently mckirdy is going in jan him and askey have not seen eye to eye in recent weeks

I don't mind Mills/Fitz but personally I'd rather Clark over both. 

Crookes isn't good enough especially as a LB

Sorry mate my reply sounded like a right dig, which it wasn’t. I should have ended it with a question Mark really.

Something lined up or Askey just wants rid?

Perhaps someone could have got him a box to stand on

Looks that way. Him and clark leaves some spaces for signings so hopefully we get some decent players in 

[Santa]

Didn't realise that it's Mr Backhouse reffing this one today.

One of the worst refs in the EFL in my opinion.

He's a strange boy apparently sits on his own at lunch time. But that aside he's not got the work rate that Askey requires he might be great going forward but hardly tracks back and drifts out of position

Explains why both Mills and McKirdy have not played much if the rumor's are true and they don't figure in JA and Co's plans. 

Both going would allow JA and Co to bring in players which hopefully would add to the team. Something to look forward to in the transfer window.

Posters did say that McKirdy could be a risk signing with his strange ways and previous actions at clubs.

Hopefully Burgess can get a goal today. He hasn't looked the best this season but I'm sure a goal would lift his confidence. 

He looked great last season alongside Taylor

I've actually started doing that. It genuinely plsses me off that he's being given this paid platform to big up a number of players who just so happen to pay him an annual percentage for representation, while slagging off the others. I resent paying £10/match towards this, as well as also resenting his steadfast refusal to pronounce the players <ovf censored> names correctly. From many comments on social media, I'm not the only one sick of listening to him.

He does me too in particular about Crookes but to be fair to him he has just given a really good insight into the Jake Taylor situation.
