Is there any talk of widening the pitch? I just think that it's an aspect of Vale park that we don't make good use of. As I recall it always used to seem a lot wider and maybe we could adjust the system of play to intimidate the opposition. With Worrall down one side and maybe Hurst down the other. We could take advantage of this space and the opposition would not be used to the expanse, as most grounds in league 2 are tight and compact. It may on the other hand place a limit on a long throw specialist such as Dan Jones. 

DC did say that he wanted the pitch widening for the coming season

What a bizarre move. A firm offer from his club to play in League One and he opts for a struggling League Two outfit instead.

The local rag here quotes Hannant as saying he sees himself as an established L2 player, so it looks as if he didn't fancy L1 football where he would probably spend more time on the bench. But bizarre, yes.

A real long shot... Jayden Stockley.

Fantastic couple of seasons at Exeter but not worked out for him at Preston. Spent last half of the season on loan at a poor Charlton. Seems Preston want Hugill back so where does that leave Stockley. Could we go for a seasons loan.

Age 29, height 6.2

Maybe I’m getting too carried away 😭

I can't see Hugill wanting to go on loan when Norwich have been promoted. It's also reported that Preston (along with many others I guess) have been linked with Paul Mullins. Nice thought though!

Gibbons/Smith/Martin/Jones

Worrall/Walker/Conlon/Hurst

Rodney/James

SUBS; Legge/Garrity/Amoo

24 man squad...13 players signed* so 11 more signings....two keepers and 9 outfield players.

Need a left back and right back plus a couple of centre backs........Clark/Sweeney/Kelleher/Johnson

Need another wide player and an extra centre mid.......Hannant and another.

Need three more strikers.....Gordon/Oates and the Wembley hatrick hero as a chancer.

Two keepers from Vigouroux/Ward/King

*Robinson/Whitehead/Burgess transfer listed.

So even if the club sign a player friday it still leaves 10 to go over the next two weeks so one a day.

 

 

I imagine we’ll leave open a couple of places for players that become available later in the transfer window. Also, depends whether we can shift the transfer listed player and how much we’ll end up contributing to wages.

We currently have 17 contracted players, so I’m not expecting more than 6 signings before pre-season starts, unless the transfer listed players are moved on.

Well, we're five in now so unless we want to have Ronnie Sinclair in goal, the next one would need to be a goalkeeper then 😉

Personally, I think it will be a few more than six - goalies alone, we really need at least two to cover for any injury.

Sorry I meant no more than 6 more signing before pre-season starts 😄

I think Mullin might turn out to be a one season wonder.  He'd done nowt before last season then suddenly gets 30+.  Could be wrong though - often am.

Ronnie wouldn't fit the new criterion of being 6 feet tall - according to wiki, he's just 5'11"!

Just had an awful realisation that we are becoming a team full of six footers and have just signed a long throw specialist. It seems eerily familiar and too close to home.... 😬

Having said that i don't care at all if it works for us.

Not all that unusual in the 4th tier of football, more unusual in the Prem where skill is more sought after than physical strength. Our priority is to beat the teams we are up against at present, with the right balance of skill and physique.

If we get a team full of six footers who can all play a bit we won't be in a bad place.
