Agreed. When Leicester won the Prem their average possession per game was less than 40%. 

Fast counter-attacks don't need much possession.

Think Chissy is out from what's been said.

Football is a great game,  people now naming Jones in their first 11 …. How times have changed since Barnsley when he was spoken about like the devil incarnate!!

I'm really pleased for him, and hope he continues to play well, as he seems like a sound bloke. My lad was absolutely made up when him and Josh Thomas turned up to play in the last hour of their football camp at Vale last week, Dan even set a couple of goals up for him!

Not in my team once Balmer fit. He got away with Reading too remember. 

[Rory]

Come on Port Vale.

Not saying he s in my team either my comment is emphasising how quickly football can change.

                                 Ripley

             Balmer       Smith      Iacovitti

Clark                                                          Grant

                       Arblaster      Ojo

            Chislett                             Devine

                                 Wilson

Subs: Leutwiler, Lowe, Sang, Garrity, Massey, Thomas, Harrison

 

Would love to see something like the above at some point. Two quality wing-backs. Plenty of legs and running power in midfield. Flair and creativity behind the striker in Chislett and Devine, and I'd be happy enough to see any of Wilson, Harrison or Thomas start depending on form and fitness. And some genuine quality on the bench that can come on and have an impact. If that's not a top 10 League One side then we're in a hell of a league.

Edited to make 11 players and not 12!

12 players, hope the ref doesnt know 🙂

I'll be gobsmacked if Devine starts tomorrow.  On the bench, probably, and maybe a start against Crwho.

No but I've seen Jones play. As overrated a player as I've ever seen.

Worth a try! Chislett is kinda small so perhaps he's the one we could get away with.

In the pre-season games I saw Chizzle and Kofi stood out an absolute mile.

Fair enough. Who overates him by the way?

I do think it’s always a good idea to see someone play before saying they should start in the first team personally.

there are 7 types of bias commonly quoted in psychology…. anchorage bias is one of the more difficult ones to overcome.

I m not a Jones fan but can see the effort he s making to improve. We won’t be able to sign perfect players over the next few seasons we will have to take what we have and improve them and I think Jones is starting to make improvements to his game which is all we can ask.
