It’s a lot easier when you come on and the team are 3-1 up and the opposition are down to 10 men.

It is but he definitely did a lot more than he has done in previous games.

It looked like he’d got his boots on the right feet for once.

It could be that DM was mismanaging him and as a result he didn't know what his role was etc, but now that DM has gone it might be that he's been allowed to express himself more freely and now understands what his role is.

This will be controversial, but I personally do think there is a player in there with Mo Faal.

You don't transfer for 500K without having something about you. I genuinely think that given a run of games playing with the right partner & a decent striker coach behind the scenes, he will be a good player for somebody.

We've seen glimpses. He was excellent for Wrexham against is in the cup comp & when the pressure has been lifted, he's looked dangerous for us too despite what some will have you believe. His touch leaves a little to be desired, but if he can rekindle some of the form we saw in the Barnsley cup game, we'd have a hell of a player on our hands. Looks every bit a confidence player to me, a bit of backing & a few goals & I think he'd come alive.

I don't think he will be given the time at the Vale, but I do think he will go on to prove alot of Vale fans wrong. Only time will tell I guess.

An attack focused manager may show more interest in Faal, Brown , Richards, Plant and Shorrock.

He's played the equivalent of about 90 mins in total during his loan. We saw Chester on Tuesday and he warmed up,was told he was going on,then they scored the 2nd goal and he stayed on the side warming up. A complete waste of Jack,and Vales time. He'll be nowhere near match fit

So that's been a terrible loan for Jack and us.  Assuming that he hasn't been injured,  it's worrying that he can't get onto a NLN average team

Walters to Plymouth....Just saying...

 before kick off he was having a laugh and a joke with Ronan and the crowd. 

I'm convinced he's been having a laugh since he arrived.

The manager is an arse

Jack is no less talented than he was before

He needs to come back ASAP

Disagree. Personally think he’s hopeless and a worse version of Reggie. 
The money argument isn’t one I buy either, Jordan Slew went for big money and he was a cart horse. We paid a decent fee for Ryan Loft and he doesn’t have anything about him to suggest hes a professional footballer  

He’s not at this level and should be sent back along with Brown

I said when this deal went through it was an odd one. Don’t see how it would benefit us in any way. Shorrock has great talent, one of the many to be played consistently out of position by Moore and would have offered much more than stuffing Curtis at WB. Get him and Richards recalled so we have some attacking options on the bench. I think this loan has hampered him as it was always going to 

It's very frustrating when attacking players like Stockley, Shorrock, Rico, etc... have been nowhere near our team. I can't believe what a negative and stubborn bloke DM was and how long it took for the club to listen to the supporters and get rid.

The next manager appointed has to be attack-minded for me. Otherwise I won't be renewing our season tickets next season and I'll start picking and choosing my games. The last two season have, on the whole, been dull and boring as hell. 

UTV!

Last season dull and boring??  I think most fans would’ve happily accepted a “dull and boring” promotion again this season.

Apart from the fact he is!
