I believe we're signing Connor Ripley on a permanent deal. How's his command of the penalty box Vale fans? Our current keeper has great reflexes but gives me palpitations when the ball is flung into the box.
Josh Benson on loan from Barnsley apparently. Holloway signed him for Grimsby back around Covid. Any thoughts or memories of him brothers Grim? 2 goals in 11 appearances according to Wiki.
I think so as well. Too many people see striker and them just look at the goal record and if it's not great immediately say 'that's a terrible signing'. Obviously he may well be a terrible signing but he's not been signed to come in and score bucket loads of goals. Im quite confident he'll do...
We've 2 triallists at the moment who I'm led to believe are pretty much signed up, and another 2 due to come in soon.
Apparently, one of these triallists has already been reported to have signed for another league 2 club. Ever the pragmatist, Holloway has said -

Been in and out of the side with injury. When he did play under Kennedy we were generally terrible but since Holloway's come in we've seen glimpses of the good player he is. You can imagine in a good side he would flourish, but unfortunately we're a way off of that.
Hopefully he comes into his...
Real disappointment. Works hard and has scored a couple of nice goals but he's more frustrating than anything. Hold up play is fairly poor, doesn't appear to be particularly strong and tends to fall over a lot, which is fine when you are winning free kicks, but he tends to get nothing. I'd be...
We do tend to be able to get a tune out of loan strikers for whatever reason. Is Nichols out of contract end of this season? Also with Clarke there he's stepping into a relatively familiar captain.
Given our director of football Jamie Russell recently left to go to Salford and I don't believe we have anyone replace him, our recruitment strategy is likely to be one of
1. Sign one or more ex-player(s)
2. If a striker is required, sign one on loan from Bradford.
Tyler Smith fits both...
