Hopefully he's convincing enough to stop the Batth transfer and allow those funds to be allocated elsewhere.

I believe Phillips will stay to cover batth, hyam and Carter and we will loan out Barnes and sell S.wharton

[Displaced Rover]

Number 8 for them has been getting very worked up trying to climb out of Ash Phillips pocket.

Well... An improvement on last season's first game against them. 👍

[Tugayisgod]

Buckley seems to be impressing as well

Is that your opinion or what you know will happen?

No no just an opinion, sorry my wording is really poor today

has vale done any running or moving yet???!!!!!

First half no. Second half he put himself about a bit and did ok. Might have bulked up a bit, looked slightly less lightweight than usual. Still don’t think he’s anywhere near good enough 

[Tugayisgod]

Phillips and Pickering the stand outs according to Sharpe and Jackson.

Not sure Ash can be held back much longer 

[BigBar]

Great to here Philips seems to be putting in a decent display even if it's only pre season.

Yeah a good season for us this season and we could be looking at some healthy fees next summer.

I agree, he'd be third choice for me behind Hyam and Carter.

Would much prefer him to break through and not spend funds on a 30 year old.  If he does step up Hyam, Carter, S Wharton and Ash would be plenty of cover. Loan out Barnes knowing Pickering can cover in a pinch.

S Wharton had a dismal season last year, but the year before proved he can play well at this level. I’d be happy with those four and using funds elsewhere

Where are the goals coming from this Season?😯

Going to be a recurring question over the next few weeks unless someone is brought in.

Game of opinions I suppose but thought Markanday looked pretty decent. Vale improved second half and was putting himself about more. Second of the first game though we looked decent but no one to put the ball in the net. Philips looked good as did Britton. Gallagher still a step behind every time.....

Today, or since he signed for us ?

[philipl]

Phillips born 26 June 2005 will be first choice by the end of the season with a scrap between the other 4 over who to partner him.

Does he ever?

he needs hypnotising,6"4 big strapping lad who plays like a bloody fairy

[rigger]

So, we have a good defence, with cover for injuries. A good midfield, with cover for injuries. Poor or untried forwards. Where should we invest ?

[goozburger]

While I'm sure the transfer window is far from over, let's not forget that we've got two new attackers that aren't playing today before we start panicking about lack of goals.
