Won’t need to defend 

attack - attack- attack 

😄

That's not the DM style of play.

....it doesn't seem to be anyone's style of play these days, although Spain appeared to go back to a more attacking method during the Euros..... that's after inflicting the tika-taka(?) borefest on us over the last umpteen years.

Kyle John at 5 would be nice ✍️ it’s the hope that kills they say 😅

If they perform poorly they aren’t a scapegoat. Who out of last season was a scapegoat? All players that were criticised got criticised because we were <ovf censored> as a collective and they were even worse as individuals. Loft, Massey, jones, Lowe, and grant were atrocious last season, they weren’t scapegoated. They weren’t good enough.  
 

Let’s see where we are I agree but if we start the season and Dan jones makes a few horrific errors again and gets critism, that isn’t scapegoating, that’s poor performance 

We signed Ryan Loft. The numb-nuts looked at his Wikipedia record + comments from Bristol Rover's fans and instantly made their mind up on him. I've been through this before but he was on a hiding to nothing since then. 

Numerous others were scapegoats when team sheets get announced.

"OH MY GOD NOT SANG"

"JONES STARTING = LOSS INCOMING"

Etc

It will happen again on Saturday.

Sang is likely to start. The numb-nuts will slate him before a ball is kicked. His first bad touch/pass will be met with derision.

Like any of this is helpful.

Well we have to factor in we are a league below so just because Sang or DJ or whoever wasn't up to it in League One level doesn't mean they wont be in League Two, its a different level against poor opposition.

Everyone should have a clean slate with that in mind.

I know this is off topic, and I've only posted here because it's the most popular thread. And this is for the ex pats, how do we watch Vale outside of the UK? PVTV are asking for 300 aud a year to watch, which I don't mind paying, but then that doesn't cover me for the SKY matches, been told that Vale have 20 Sky matches the upcoming season. Is this correct? Apparently if I pay for season pass and it's shown on sky I can only listen to the audio

I'm no expert, but so far as I know you won't be able to watch those matches in Australia, unless they're also chosen for international broadcast in your country, through any legal method

I’ve said it all summer long. Sang will be a key player with his delivery in open play this season.
Fans need to look at the positive of his play rather than the negative of defensively not great.
I don’t hear Liverpool crying every 5 minutes they need a new RB because he can’t defend.

Key player

He won’t be anywhere near the team once a new right back is signed

I keep hearing about his crossing but if that’s the height of his talent then deary me the bar is low on expectations

His corners are abysmal, is that counting as a cross ????

 

Incoming 

 

Right back incoming 

Got to be Kyle John you'd think unless there's someone on loan.

Very pleased with that although if I'm being greedy, we could do with a second one on loan due to Mitch's long term injury

 

Also, only one year is interesting

edit - although the news article on the OS site says

Quote

John, 23, puts pen to paper on a one-year deal following a successful trial period with the club which will see him remain at Vale Park until at least the summer of 2025.

So it sounds like we've got an extension clause built in there, or KJ has an appearences clause or something.

Admit it. You're on the car park in war paint and camouflage?

Too good at this you are mate.
