Tom Pope

[Tosh]

yates played really well i thought

 

Yates rarely lets us down, the criticism he gets baffles me, he's a steady a full back I've seen at league two level.

Puts in some excellent crosses too Tosh

[NLVMalc]

Rob Taylor is the best crosser of the ball at Vale.

[Snecklifter]

You could count on one hand how many decent crosses he has put in. But that is not his main job.

Popey wont go anywhere until we are finally in league 1. Even then, the only way he will be going is if ridiculous money is offered. We arent in a position where we need to sell so it is highly unlikely Pope will be going anywhere anytime soon. dont worry people.

[Fosse69]

he did tosh

 

good team efforts for scoring and setting up goals by all concerned if you ask me

 

now if we could get those wide midfielders to defend.........

Did not Vincent clear off the line yesterday in the closing minutes.

[Formby Valiant]

When is he out of contract?

Here here

[bobby newton]

So nither winger has ever crossed the ball into the box?

 

MA must be incorrect when he states we play with 2 wingers. Because if they don't cross the ball they're not wingers, they're wide midfielders who keep cutting into the middle of the park.

 

So you're wrong and you have been corrected!!!!!.......

 

no correct me please properly... tell me the last goal Pope scored from a cross from either jmw or vincent...

i'll tell you

...Vincent at home v Bristol Rovers.... i go 99% of games so argue at will.. but give me solid evidence plze

[ollyandpatch]

Funny really how the Pope likes crosses !!!!

[Wereskintandweknowweare]

I think this is a similar situation that a great goalscorer had with his favourite club 20 years ago with STEVE BULL of Wolves

 

He was a local lad plying his trade in the 4th Div and scored goals for fun, he did,nt want to move from his beloved Wolves and stayed with them turning down big money moves to go on to secure successive promotions to eventually get to the premier league

 

also go on and achieve international honours appearing for England and go to a World Cup

 

This is a similar situation and think that Vale should look after their prized assett and for Tom to achieve Legend status in Burslem

 

who knows we could be erecting another statue in 10 years time

 

UP THE VALE!!

 

Great post totally agree lets prey

[Bails]

Didn't that Crawley striker go to Posh for about 1million?! Tyrone.Barnett or something? Anyway, Popey is in his prime.now and only just beginning, so i'd want somewhere in the region of 1.2mil. Am i being greedy?

[born_late58]

when was the last time one of our wide midfielders [ apparently that means they are not wingers] crossed the ball for tom to score from...............any one ?

 

Rob Taylor against Plymouth:rolleyes:

[born_late58]

Rob Taylor put in a cross for Tom to score last week against Plymouth...
