Just let people discuss what they want.

If people want to engage in debates on McKirdy or whatever, or fanciful rumours, let it happen.

We haven't played in nearly a month. We can't start a new thread for every slight digression. Be boring. Let folk have an e-scrap imo.

I guess it depends what you want to watch. The DC approach is that players are a commodity to be bought and sold when required. Tell them what to do and leave nothing to their imagination. That may or may not get results but some people like a bit of character like Monty or McKirdy. Micky Adams type of management was able to control such players and get the best out of them. Bit more rollercoaster but more entertaining to watch.

Many of the commodity say that the team spirit and dressing room relationships are the best they have experienced.

Everyone makes mistakes, it is how you learn from them which counts. Am I not entitled to the opinion that Clarke is a mediocre manager? I like your optimism but I will be pleasantly surprised if we get promotion. 

'Pleasantly surprised if we get promotion'

What?

'Pleasant?' 

Pleasant is something I use to describe the weather. 
 

If we got promotion, I won't be using the word 'pleasant' to describe my emotions or feelings. 
 

I must admit that I did believe that you were a Vale fan but with a different outlook to many others (which of course you are entitled to) but after this I have my doubts????
 

Maybe you've made the wrong word choices. I don't know???? But 'Pleasantly surprised' Spiders!

I'd be "pleasantly suprised" if anyone on here manages to guess who we are trying to sign this January. We were miles off on the summer signings, Mal Benning apart. No doubt there will be howls of derision about players we know nothing about. Another Proctor or Garrity will do for me, oh and a Bob Hazel type centre half if I'm being greedy.

I was underwhelmed when Vale signed Lloyd in the summer but changed my mind to a large extent with his wholehearted performances when he got the chance. The one thing he appeared to lack was a clinical finish and hence goals so I'm hoping a Lge 1 class striker is signed with a decent goal scoring record to get Vale over the line.

Vale have to guard against further injury to Proctor and/or Wilson by signing a goal scoring striker,  it's a must if Vale are going to get into the top 3.

McKirdy wasn’t the right character and the fact is DC even had a look and didn’t fancy him, we have Garrity firing who Oldham fans didn’t rate, some clubs it works out some it doesn’t, he is a maverick, not really what we are about here.

Have to see if he keeps it up at Swindon or if he goes back to type.

In terms of Micky Adams he was great, old school which was accepted and most players loved him and talk about that dressing room with Collins, Haldane, Rico, Boom and Doddsy. He didn’t take <ovf censored> and I don’t believe for a minute they were ever transfer listed.. he was wrong on Morsy but Christ Sir Alex let Pique leave who turned into one of the great centre halves and signed Bebe! He got more right than wrong.

To topic, no idea if we are in for Telford but even if we attempt and are unsuccessful at least it shows our ambition rather than sniffing around someone released from Colchester or Macclesfield. I trust them to get it right and it’s exciting to see who gets signed these days.
