Got the budget part right though (cutting back in Jan) that Taylor / Stevens thing never made an ounce of sense what side would sign a player on those terms 

Yes mate clearly out of choice not because we are skint. 

Taylor/Stephens one was just absurd.

Right Im putting this out there now - and I know im gonna look a right dumn cracker at 5pm, but if Massey/Macey is played in near enough his preferred position, he will rip it up today

But dont laff at me if he plays like crud🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

We will have to disagree on that one as I think Massey is useless

I just think he's lazy and plays like he couldn't give a toss, don't think he's useless

Can only think Wozza is carrying a knock not to be starting today. 

Easy to see and just been confirmed that the 2 Oxford loans can't play Monday.  So Stevens is playing today just in case Stone picks up an injury and then can't play Monday. Can understand that thinking.

Just unsure which Vale side we will see today.  Just hope they actually play as a team which has trained together and not the team against Cambridge.

Startling lack of height, why is Stevens playing instead of Stone, 

Because if Stone got injured today we wouldn’t have a keeper on Monday

Jack Stephens and Matty Taylor starting… it’s not been a good week for the conspiracy theorists.😂

Just what I've been thinking.

I'll remind Captain Tosspot behind me at the game on Monday.

I think we're going for it today. Fingers crossed for 3 points

Maybe not but why drop him after his 2 best games of the season, MOM at Pompey and arguably MOM against Cambridge?

Surely only reason Stevens is playing is just a precaution- if Stone gets injured or sent off we’ll have no keeper for Monday?

cos if Stone got injured/sent-off today we'd have no keeper v Oxford

I originally thought that and defended him for 6 months but after seeing him put some effort in for a couple of games yet was still crap I have now revised my assumption of him as lazy (most the time) and useless

Possibly but chances are very slim.

This is Vale.  If we play Stone today he will get injured in the last minute and leave us without a senior goal keeper.  🤣

Don’t get the point about it being that we have Oxford and we would have no keeper if stone was injured. Surely if that’s the case we shouldn’t have picked stone last week?
