I am sorry but I really disagree I haven’t seen the same as you and haven’t seen many games where he has contributed much; admittedly he scored against Charlton but he hasn’t contributed much and I would release him to make room for a completely better player; opinions hey 

There lies the problem, we won’t be signing any better players.

Also indicative of how little money has actually been spent. The reality is the only reason players are coming here on loan, but not being bought is because we can’t afford the buys. We are attractive for loans because we have gaping gaps in our squad and clubs look at that and know their players will get games and experience.

Take for example Clarke Harris. Give Peterborough £800,000 and Clarke Harris £8,000 a week and he is in a Vale shirt. Offer any decent striker the miserable rate of £3,000 a week and they go elsewhere. Unless you are rubbish and have no other options. Step forward…Ryan Loft, Uche and a crippled Wilson. 

I know where you coming from but that illustrates my question. Are we after a top tier player with 3k per week i.e unrealistic targets for our budget?

Must be some happy pills in those oatcakes!  Hope you're correct with the score prediction, however I think it may be a tad optimistic.  Whatever the outcome, enjoy the match, atmosphere and, of course, those lovely oatcakes--I'm salivating just looking at the photo! 😜

Thanks to @darren1810 finding the link for me, I had a listen last night.

It was a great 55 minutes with all of them.

It was interesting to hear Sproson say that for the past two years, when other clubs and players in League One look at the Vale squad, they always say that it's a bottom 6 squad.

That is clearly a bad perception and clearly indictive of how bad the recruitment's been over the past 2 seasons

A really good listen, interesting what Ex Pros have to say, especially what was said about the lack of fight and how other clubs players see us, confirms what the vast majority of supporters think.
