wellsince75 Posted January 31, 2024 Report Share Posted January 31, 2024 I don't know what expectations some of our fans have. We've signed a promising youngster who's making his way in the game and some think we're doomed before we've even seen him. He might be a decent footballer who offers the team more than just his scoring stats. Equally he's young and may well be what we need. I don't remember Scott McDonald having amazing stats before we signed him. It's a tough window, always is. We got shot of players not cutting it, we've brought in the type of prospect we wanted. Looks pretty reasonable bit of business all things considered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MelvinBragg Posted January 31, 2024 Report Share Posted January 31, 2024 If you look closely at his stats, Vale only started five games for Lincoln and scored two goals. On at least three of his eleven sub league appearance, Lincoln City were down to ten men when he came on, or a minute after.. Do these stats mean he's any good? No, but it's context. More context than a simple 'he scored two in seventeen appearances for Lincoln, he must be shit'. As with most of our signings, we won't know til we see him play... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our defence is rank rotten and we don't seem to be adding anyone. Our striking options are Bair and Vale both of whom are poor players. As things stand our form is unlikely to change and thus squad won't win a playoff. So how do you know Vale is a poor player when you haven't even seen him play.

So you have never seen him play then. And you've been going on what their fans say. Do Lincoln have a steelboy perhaps? If so, he had no chance. At least give the lad one appearance before writing him off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobbybingo Posted January 31, 2024 Report Share Posted January 31, 2024 I see very little criticism of Vale from their fans when it was announced he was leaving. The negative comments were more along the lines of 'why did we sign him but hardly play him?' Either way, doesn't matter. Different club, players and management now. Be nice if the fans gave him some encouragement, which I'm sure most will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will have known who they are for weeks and been checking them out on you tube. So he can tell the world what failures they were at previous clubs and how they will get us relegated Unless its Marcus Rashford of course.
