Craig Clay is no longer out of contract having penned a new 2-year deal. I assume his signature was a bit ropey as he’ll have been signing it as it was coming out of Martin Ling’s printer.
some good goals - although you should be docked points for playing in what looks like a Forest Green kit in the match against ExeterYeah you're right m8, as well as accidentally dicking you with a volley from the half way line, he routinely bangs in a shitload of 30 yard volleys and free kicks for us just by pure fluke.
We wore that against you guys!some good goals - although you should be docked points for playing in what looks like a Forest Green kit in the match against Exeter
He tried it a few weeks earlier from a dead ball free kick out wide and just went over, think it was against Southend.Shinned that one against us, if he struck it cleanly it wouldn't have gone in. Pure fluke.
It was last season and went to pot so early days, we've only got 9 players at the moment so a long way to go. Financially we look set to invest and push on from the investment in the winter with the backroom but we've been burnt this season so wont get too carried away.I genuinely expect Vale to live up to the hype next season. Everything seems to be pointing in the right direction there which is what you need to build momentum.
Reminds me of Danny Grainger, every time he got into his favourite shooting position and lashed the ball into the top corner you'd see opposition fans saying 'he'll never score another goal like that in his life'.Yeah you're right m8, as well as accidentally dicking you with a volley from the half way line, he routinely bangs in a shitload of 30 yard volleys and free kicks for us just by pure fluke.

Can’t pretend I know too much about Conlon but I note he was signed from Stevenage? Was it a free transfer? If so, it just shows there are some absolute bargains out there. Same with Mullin who would have been long odds for the golden boot winner…
It highlights the need for excellent scouting rather than throwing money at players who will command big wages.
Yeah he was released from Stevenage and came to us on a trial and got signed by Aspin after doing alright. At first he was more someone who just went flying into tackles but then when Askey came in he started to slowly develop other parts of his game not least his shooting from distance and taken another step since being given the captaincy.
If there's one league where you don't necessarily need investment to get out of it the right way, it's this one.
There's no point forking out big money for journeymen here as, very rarely, will former PL/former top Championship players drop this low down the pyramid. League One is the lowest a lot of them go, certainly not League Two. All you're left paying big wages for are players who failed in the Championship like your Eoin Doyle's (excellent for L2 level mind) and injury prone players like Nicky Maynard who are way past their primes.
Young and hungry squads are key. Sure, you need some experience in your side. But shelling out big signing on fees, agents fees and big wages to 10 or 15 journeymen just because they once played in the Championship or top end of League One isn't the way forward. It's why Mansfield and Salford are still in this division despite the big budgets they've had for years.
3 of the 4 who go up this season will surely have had bottom half budgets and, if Morecambe are victorious next Monday, that'll be the team with the lowest budget in the division going up. So money at this level really isn't everything.
Seriously? I would’ve thought the likes of Sercombe and May would be on a good wedge?As alluded to on a number of occasions - our budget was 17th in the League apparently.
That's why Chris Beech was always convinced Cheltenham had a bit of money.Seriously? I would’ve thought the likes of Sercombe and May would be on a good wedge?
Cheltenham are pretty good location wise, despite being in the south west, its a densely populated part of it and well connected to places like Birmingham, Bristol, South Wales and even London isn't too far.We've used location a lot with out signings. Matty Blair for example is from Warwickshire, so we're less than an hour away. When we signed Luke Varney a couple of years back, it was because he lived in Worcester. Blackpool offered him more than double what we did apparently.
That's the best thing to do with experienced players at this level. By the time they're reaching their late 20s/early 30s they've got kids and have settled down. A shorter commute and more time at home is more important than a couple of hundred quid a week. Especially if they've made a decent wedge already.
That's not to say Sercombe and May aren't being paid well, it's just well within our relatively low budget.
We’re being linked with both Lloyd Jones and Ryan Watson, Watson I believe is from Crewe. Must have been one that slipped the net for us as a kid. Are they any good cobblers fans?Northampton Town manager Jon Brady has announced the following retained list at the conclusion of the 2020/21 season.
