I think its ok to single out individual stats to point out the good parts of someone’s game... but to use a single variable to write off one player vs another might not be the best use of stats. Same reasoning as the fact tat this one stat alone doesnt make Tom the player he is.

Also given Pett plays top of the diamond for Stevenage I’m not sure progressive Passes would even be one of his key targeted stats... never mind the fact it’s a completely different role to the one Joyce plays so a comparison may not be that useful.

Age difference would also play into it if you were to compare Joyce to another defensive mid... Joyce is unfortunately only going to deteriorate as a player as he approaches 34/35

Its Joyce's backward passes that scare me !!

We've been scarred by change in the past. V2001 was a change, Norman was a change, Bruno was a change. It mostly goes disastrously. As a result, I think Vale fans assume worst-case scenario when it comes to big change, when many other clubs undergo transformations like ours and come out of it successfully.

Very true. These were changes by drunken nutcases and clowns with no football experience.

I have confidence that Flitcroft and Clarke, each with a L2 promotion under their belt, plus extensive football league experience know what we need to be better.

I'm not expecting a 100 point title season next season, but would just like us to spend the season looking at the top half of the table for a change.

Happy with a PO promotion, 1959 was the last season we won a title, the first winners of the 4th division.

Think we have to be realistic with the new signings, in that not all of them will be proven/experienced high end league 2 players on paper. 

My opinion is that Clarke thinks only 4/5 out of the remaining 9 players are nailed on staters, so I do expect the below vacant positions to be more proven league players. I then think he’ll supplement the squad with hungry younger players. 

Its imperative we get a quality DM, and that is where I’d make the marquee signing. Also, a tall quick commanding CB if he plays Smith, and a ST to complement Rodney will be pivotal acquisitions.  

                       New GK

Gibbo  Smith/New CB  New CB  New LB

Worrall  New CM  Conlon  New LW

               Rodney  New ST

Thoughts? 
 

Note: I went 4-4-2 for simplicity.
