Talented but lazy. He will look like a Championship player at times but has games where he just isn't bothered. That said I'd probably prefer him in my League Two team than against, certainly if he woke up on the right side of the bed on match day. Must be getting on a bit now though?

I'm a big fan of Conlon. I think we are very fortunate to have him and Burgess as they're both at a good age with plenty of improvement left in them. I can't see Oyeleke suddenly not becoming injury hit so can only see him being a bit part player for however long he has left with is...

Isn't Whitehead just a player with a lot of energy though? I completely wrote Burgess off as a nothing signing but he was the biggest surprise of the season for us after Jake Taylor. Runs all day but also isn't without a bit of quality.

So with our summer business just about done and dusted, this is likely to be how we line up for the new season with everyone fit and available. Brown Gibbons Smith Legge Montano Joyce Burgess Conlon Worrall Amoo Robinson/Cullen Askey likes three in midfield so can't see us playing a...

Fast but brainless and with little end product. Got a shit beard too.

I don't like it when other people tip us to do well. As a Vale fan usually when you start to get optimistic and have belief the team and club finds a way to shove a Pineapple violently inside your rectum, and kill your hopes and dreams! It is nice though on the other hand to not have to be...

I think our signings this summer are signings to make the squad stronger. I don't see any of them as guaranteed starters. But all of them with the exception of Rodney, who is a kid learning the game, are an improvement over those we released. When our bench could look something like Visser...

I've never seen him as great myself. But a few years back he looked a promising one. Seems to be more interested now in fashion and art over improving as a football player.

Bellerin has been bang average for a few seasons now. Doesn't seem to be half as quick now as he once was, and pace was always his strongest attribute by far!

Indeed. Just because we were very unlucky not to make the play-offs last season doesn't mean that anyone should take for granted that we will this season, or even be around them again. We do have a good team and there should be an ambition by all at the club that we can make the top 6, but we...

Yeah, he would. I had an argument of sorts with some Scottish bloke recently who was saying although Kane's a good player he's nowhere near the same class as Lewandowski, and completely ignored the facts I pointed out about his actual goalscoring record. While Spurs aren't FC Bayern, one could...

We played them in our first pre-season game and lost 2-1. They looked a pretty good side and we played well enough in the day. I don't think there'll be many teams of that quality in L2.

There won't be many sides with the quality of Blackpool though to be fair. We aren't the quickest in the middle of the park granted no matter who we play there, but we do have Amoo and Browne offering pace out right, and both Robinson and Cullen are quick enough up top. We have a strong squad...

The thought of Tonge, Kay and Pugh makes me shudder. I've seen roadkill move quicker than those three! We've come a long way in a short space of time. If he gets us promoted Askey should have a stand named after him for the job he will have done!

We are a big club for League Two. We have one of the best stadiums, even more so since work has been done on it since the owners took over last year, a history that includes a long period in what is now the Championship and just as importantly now have a squad of players to be relatively proud...

Although I'm not as big on him as some Vale fans, he's had the odd game where he looks a cut above League Two. His issue are injuries and fitness along with consistency. But on his day he's been close to unplayable for us in midfield. But when he's not match fit he can look none league.

Yeah, there's no master plan needed in League Two to do well. Be organised, work hard and don't take any side for granted regardless of form or where they are in the league. If you can do that and you have a bit of quality up front and pace on the flanks, you'll be up there.

It's alright been confident but you can be too confident. League Two isn't a walk in the park and going into games believing you're the dogs bollocks will often see you come unstuck. Believe in yourselves and each other by all means but Bolton have done absolutely nothing yet to warrant too much...

I never go by pre season results. From a Vale perspective we've often looked a very good side in pre-season, beating Championship clubs, and then offered up a giant turd when the season got underway. On the other hand I've also seen us have a terrible pre-season and then go on to have a...

I feel for Bolton. Having to sign so many players in such a short space of time has never really proven to be a success. It will take them months to gel as a team and I think they'll do well to finish top half this season. They have some good players no doubt but I highly doubt they'll have any...
