Not sure about this. Jones and Figs have been error prone in recent games which was nothing to do with what's in front of them. Not wishing to be negative about the number of midfielders but still think we're short of CB cover and a true CF if Oscar gets injured.I don’t think our defenders individually are the issue. It’s what’s been in front of them losing the ball in **** areas etc when they are in transition.
I would take another centre back, albeit Simon’s is seemingly being labelled as capable of playing right side of a back 3Not sure about this.

Very true, however im choosing to ignore this and am viewing him as the best young English prospect in history.Not knocking him but he ain't gonna get that much space in the Championship nor come up against a keeper who appears to have no arms.
Whilst our academy players are good GLP I dont think they're Vale level good...Options are probably limited. Personally, I’d rather be developing our own young players than developing players for another club.
I don't understand why we are still arguing over the number of midfielders and wingers. Doesn't matter who we'll have available in 2-3 months, we need players who can play TODAY.
Are people really whinging that we’ve got 2 of the best U21 creators at the club from 2 of the biggest clubs in the land?
FFS. A year ago we had George Moncur and Matt Smith.
WE NEED MORE CENTRAL MIDFIELDERS THE 9 we have arnt enough !!!!
Vale has just signed a 4 year deal though, Matt Smith seemed to be frozen out after McCann’s row with WalesYou do remember that Matt Smith came from Man City’s academy on loan and people on here thought he was highly-rated and would make a difference? Not saying Simons or Vale would turn out like Smith did here but signing youngsters on loan from Premier League academies is very hit or miss.
I think there's a mental side to it though. They are having to get more involved with the ball, which is surely adding more pressure on them (especially Figs from the looks of it).Not sure about this.

I think it was because there was no one in the middle showing for it too readily too often , then would you as a defender dare give it to them ? I notice that when we aren’t playing well our midfielders turn backwards with the ball on auto , not forwards . Meyler did it, Doch did it and various others . Not knocking them as players but if you have no outlet you might dither and get caught?Not sure about this.

Is Vale going to get in ahead of Tufan, Seri, Woods, Slater, Pelkas, Traore, Sinik?Whilst our academy players are good GLP I dont think they're Vale level good...
