Blackburn Observer

Blackburn supporter here. Vale looked very good at U23/U21 level, and he showed promise in the English Championship at times. The problem for him was getting past more experienced players like Brereton Diaz and Gallagher. He very rarely got 90 minutes Now we have Szmodics scoring prolifically. What Jack really needs is a sustained run in a team. He's athletic and he reads the game well. I think the confidence-boost of a couple of goals might be all he needs to turn him into a very useful asset.
