I like it, don’t love it, 6.5/10? The training stuff is the nicest of the new stuff.

Every game is on Sky the opening weekend. MK away, not one anyone would pick as first choice against one of the favourites but to get one of the hardest games, away, out of the way early on whilst those early results are always a bit of a lottery, I’ll take it.

Feel generally that fans are tetchy over lack of signings whilst other teams seem to be ticking over in comparison. Preseason has literally just started, there’s nearly ten weeks until the window closes, you can panic then if you’ve not signed anyone.

Port ‘we have the best’ Vale fans not liking it when others are dishing out the same claim.

I don’t know what ‘anything official to confirm our interest’ means but Simon Parker named him in an article last month.

We signed Halliday off the back of a season out with an ACL. Once he got up to speed I’d say for the last 18 months he’s been 8 or 9 out of 10 every week, the most consistent player we’ve had in years and the closest right back we’ve had to Stephen Darby, one on one he’s brilliant.

Wyke and Cook on Instagram counting down ‘442’ (instead of 321 obvs) before doing shots together at a wedding. I’m enjoying the reading too much into nothing transfer potential of Charlie Wyke this summer, all be it his liver must be absolutely battered.

Only we could piss off 95% of the fan base by dragging out a week long kit launch like we’re Real Madrid and serve up the worst kit we’ve had in years.

Struggling L1 team about right for Watt, think Stockport would’ve been a better option if the choice was there. Wouldn’t be surprised if Wyke was still pissed come the first game of the season judging by his Insta.

Also if you’re a mid table cup side, your fate is decided weeks before someone who’s in the play off’s; you can start to build next seasons squad which will definitely be in this league a lot earlier than one which might well be in the one above.

Announce Karel Poborsky.

Interesting swap as it sounds like Baldwin and Platt are polar opposites, Platt a lower league clogger centre half who because he’s so basic doesn’t get caught on the ball because that’s not his game (he’ll leave plenty unmarked six yards out but that’s another story). The central defence was...

He’s not the best right back in the league so he won’t be starting in front of Halliday, would expect to see him rcb if we continue with a back 5, pleased though as he’s better than what we had in Oyegoke.

I can’t fault Macron in the two seasons so far with us - bespoke kits, good detailing and well made.

Being our best central defender is like having the biggest micro penis. Hughes had him in a passing system which he couldn’t do, his family were all rugby league players which is definitely more his style, if he got close to marking anyone maybe yeah he could be a defender who ‘heads it away’...

Zero understanding over getting upset over Platt leaving, as I messaged our group chat during the last game, ‘At least I never have to watch Matty Platt ever again’. Plays like he’s wrongly wearing size twenty boots and a consistent presence in a defence that spent 22/23 conceding unmarked...

Centre halves that aren’t good enough for promotion sides is our speciality.

PP binned Cole off after less than 6 months when we had him.

Would happily get the Young/Kemp band back together although we’d have about 25 CAM sort of players if we did. Charlie Wyke out with Cook and Gillead on what looks like Gilly’s stag do which I would also take all day long.

Chapman and Platt were the only two without an option for another year, this seems to be us just exercising it.
