Awful awful awful.

Not even midday yet and lost a World Cup 😂. England deserved champs, now let’s be havin’ The Dingles!

Cough cough lol! well done Vale.

I think it’s frankly incredible that we are currently 2nd. Manager and DOF coming in late, new style of play etc. if we finish top 6 this year I would be ecstatic! -New contracts given to players is something we haven’t done in a long long time. -Britain, Hyam (bargain of the season), Morton are all excellent signings. -Wharton, Garrett, Batty introduced into the side. I see so many positives in how we want to play, but this will take months of repetition and at least two more cycles of players coming in and leaving. I have not felt this positive in years and JDT and GB have created this feel good factor, with dare I say it Venkys actually having a plan (Tin hat on!)

This and the signing of Wharton and Phillips is a great indicator that we finally seem to have a plan for our immediate future. exciting times!

Yet we are still 0-0

Totally deserved by Cardiff, by far the better team

You mean with the players not the manager? players are the issue not the manager here. Give it two more windows and longer time on the training pitch and there will be a positive change.

The intention of playing with the ball is great, the execution…sheesh. literally panic stations when we have the ball at the back. I am willing to give it time, it needs a lot of time and patience.

I remember the excitement of when he made his debut at Old Trafford. His goal vs Everton was a thing of beauty.

Scored a goal and provided an assist. Don’t know what else you expect from a forward in 45 mins.

Yet it’s the same midfield that dominated vs Blackpool away. we have a lot of youngsters in the first 11 and the inconsistency that comes with that. JDT wants to play a certain way, how do you do that with the injuries we have to contend with atm? Bristol city played the way we will in a few months time. I also thought Hirst up front working the channels was ok and showed some promise. I also think playing 5 at the back when everyone is fit would work well. Wharton is a massive loss and can’t wait until he is back.

Edun and Dolan should start and carter at RB i expect mid table this season, onto the next one.

Are we watching the same game? He has made a couple of cracking tackles and generally I’d say most of their chances have come from Travis’ side.

Pickering is looking forward and generally passing forward- playing well so far I’d say

Any idea who JDT was referring to yesterday about a signing we missed out on?

The kid is super talented and is only 22 years old. I love the intent of a five year deal- would love to see our other youngsters signed up to similar deals.

I also feel that the next transfer window and summer will Show us what Gregg and our new head of recruitment can do. Venkys have clearly backed us this summer with signings and once fit we have a decent squad I feel.

Respect to Venkys for standing firm as always. we are are stronger now for keeping BBD and have until July to find a replacement for him.

I’m happy with the business of the day but would ideally like another attacker. If not then as long as BBD stays then it has been a very good window

Hold on he plays on the left of a front 3 😳, hopefully he comes regardless of BBD

Just turned 18, what a championship debut

Think he has had a very good game. Kept Bowler quiet for 81 mins so far

Best 45 mins I have seen from Pickering in a long long time too

Are you watching the same game? He has shown brilliant touches and feet a number of times. One of our key players this season and playing well today so far
