Surely we've got a bumper concract lined up for him! Unreal the lad is for 17 years of age 

I reckon he won’t sign it and has been tapped up already

Can I get me Happy Clappers bob hat, rosette and rattle out again? Can I, can I? I lost them when the Grumpy Gits Club bullied us the other week when Vale lost and kept asking where we were......and I felt sad.
Great win Lads....hate just listening though. Onto the Shrews!
Goaarn Vale!

Can someone do a welfare check on Valiiant and BJ?

It's like the scales have fallen from my eyes.....Hallelujah and Praise Sweet Mary, Joseph and all the Holy Orphans.......would have been nicer to have sweetened it a bit Lornelounger but sometimes you need to be told these things outright.....you could have said "the cat's up on the roof" instead of he's dead! (For those of a certain age the next line of the joke is "How's Mum?"...."She's up on the roof" 😂

Gooooaaarrrn Vale!

You pair of <ovf censored> melts!

Oh, wait a min... 🤣🤣🤣

Just seen the highlights. Good pair of goals, with Sang involved in both. How on earth did Uche miss that first chance though?!

The future's white, the future's Vale

Didn't the keeper save it with his legs....??

Didn't the keeper save it with his legs....??

Couldn't tell personally. Either way he needs to bury that. Was there a corner after? Doesn't appear so from the BBC text commentary:

"Attempt missed. Uche Ikpeazu (Port Vale) right footed shot from the left side of the six yard box misses to the left."

Average. Did ok but didn’t stand out next to the others around him

I'd imagine clubs are taking a look but he always looks pretty happy to be at the club. This was his first game when he's played against an opposition first team and he seemed to make the jump pretty well. We certainly should be talking to him about a professional contract. His body language on the field says he is enjoying it at the moment. He's at a club and playing for a manager which has demonstrated they will play young players. I suspect he would sign a reasonable contract offer. I like Walters, McDermott and Plant. Looking at Walters' progress this season I think he's potentially the best of the 3, he's more composed on the ball than Plant and stronger than McDermott.

You mean like Plant?

[valiant_593]

Sang is doing really well but I can’t help but feel he would be miles better in CM

Plant ain’t as good and won’t have as much interest 

I ain’t got a clue what’s going on just my instincts say we would of got him under contract by now

We re quite strong in midfield though. 

Sang is as good a crosser of the ball as we have so keep him wide for me.

For his first game back I thought he did just a bit better than ok.

Hopefully he can put his injuries behind him and contribute to the squad for the rest of the season... I think he ll enjoy playing on our improved pitch with better players for sure,.
