Dare I say it, but we look like we have a good blend of pace, power, experience and trickery.

Add to that Slade's meticulous preparation and organisation, and Wilko's striking experience, we might have a half-decent side.

Exciting times.

Looking at that write up about him on the OS, he might be able to score from anywhere but not very often.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

One Vale fan said this  

"Easily up there with some of the worst players I've seen play for Vale. No technical ability, no strength, no speed, literally does nothing all game and offers no threat. He doesn't even make up for his downfalls by trying, never seemed like he actually wanted to be on the pitch."

I hope you're right and not him!

I'll wait to see him before judging.

Jon Nolan has become the token response to fans of clubs slagging off their ex-players.

We've done it ourselves, I seem to remember Liam Trotter was deemed useless by many when he was here.  Even better, Danny Butterfield was a target for our boo-boys yet reached levels well above GTFC.

It's horses for courses and whilst Hooper may have looked crap for Vale and others, he may be exactly what we need for our system.  I don't think we're looking for a 20 goal front man, we've plenty of goals spread throughout the side. What we need is someone who will lead the line and create space for the likes of Dembele and Jones.

Nolan was MOM in League 1 on Saturday.

As ever, i will judge for myself and not an instant judgement either. Some players take a while to get going and having been on trial here for a few weeks, Slade must have seen something he likes because you don't give out 2 year deals on a whim nowadays. Maybe that was the sticking point, length of contract?

He was playing in a terrible team last season and was probably managed badly as well. Slade is well known for getting the best out of players and his teams always give 100%.

It was noticeable that in the team tonight that there were 6 players who also started the Morecambe home game last season. Unbelievable given the 100s of players we've signed since then.


I've wasted my life in black and white, a pathetic act for a worthless cause

Fair points diehard. I just worry about so many fans talking about his lack of effort. I cling to the hope that this has been caused by the fact that he has been played so often out of position
