    I think a lot of Vale Fans are getting just a little head of themselves.

    This we will win the League etc. 

    Moore’s Pre Season stats are no better than last season’s.

    I know people will say these are only Friendlies,I get that, but our Defence is no better than Mid Table League 2.

    We definitely need a Dominant Centre Half or 2 and some Fullbacks.

    I would rather Moore spend money on an experienced Defender than on another Unknown Striker from a Poor Scottish League..

    There seems a long gap now to the Bath game next weekend,I know DM said they will have in house games which i guess is just amongst the squad and Academy but didn't someone say we were to play Coventry behind closed doors,any ideas when that is? It also seems they off for a week in Wales after the Bath game

    TBF we have now played what, four friendlies? Then we've got Bath, Burton, Luton and Bolton before we kick off. We've got enough IMHO - let's not forget the last couple of years our pre season programme has been a joke, sunning ourselves in Spain with a couple of friendlies either side.

    I'd much rather we do it this way.

    Smith and Hall are both promotion winners at this level and easily capable of performing at a high standard in League Two.

    Once we get pas that you're right, I don't trust Debrah and Jones is an absolute joke. Iacovitti looks like he's on the way out and then we're really thin.

    I also think we still have issues at full back. Clark looks crocked already, Hart is probably a useful signing, Sang doesn't look comfortable and I'd rather us bring Allan Tankard out of retirement than sign Deklan Wynne.

    Seems to be a recurring theme so far this pre season

    "In the fourteenth minute, Ellis Simms capitalised on a loose ball to race through on goal and give City the lead, side-footing the ball into Amos’ bottom left-hand corner."

    Yeh I totally agree with you.

    Smith and Hall will hopefully do a good job.

    I like Clark but it’s the Fitness Issue again.

    Like you say we are rather struggling after that.

    Considering the position Moore played in, I am surprised he hasn’t strengthened there when maybe over signing in other Forward Positions.

    There is time yet and hopefully more outs will result in some proven defenders.

    Nobody’s expectations absolutely nobody’s are heightened by pre season friendlies 😭 the summer window has been fantastic so far with plenty of time to strengthen even more. That’s what’s building fans hopes up & rightly so. We’ve built a very strong squad upto now which will only be better come August 10th

    Shorrock,Lomax and Buah all start at leek,it looks like we have an A and  B playing as well,so not sure if they are first team trialists or youth trialists

    These friendlies are to sharpen up the players fitness levels so I don't pay much attention to the results , me owd fruit 🙄🤨

    Over signing in forward positions? we have got 3 strikers and Curtis personally I dont think that's enough 

    The club haven't finished yet and i certainly expect another CB an full back at least to be coming in
