Sporting Life have announced Kevin Gall, a striker has signed from Carlisle on loan for Port Vale.
Dean Glover, manager of Port Vale is quoted as saying "After our defeat against Lincoln on Friday night I felt we had to make phone calls...."
I'll stop right there.
At Lincoln, he subbed a striker for a defender on the 60th minute when Vale were 1-0 down, only to bring a striker on later in the game with ten minutes left. Port Vale already have:
Lawrie,
Dodds,
Richards,
Thompson,
Perry,
Glover.
on the books.
So why is he bringing in another striker when our clear problem appears to be ball retention and defence? And why bring in this striker for a month, with a goal ratio of 1 in 6 games? He probably isn't going to score while he's here for a month. Not to mention there is only a limited amount of loans Port Vale can bring in during the season - so if Glover wants to bring in strikers and play 3-2-5 formation, then this is perfect. With the long, high ball strategy too, this lad is no Peter Crouch who can head the ball - he's 5 foot 9!
The Vale fans were only too right when they chanted: "You Don't Know What You're Doing!" - He clearly doesn't. And he seemingly insists on playing his son all the time when there are better options in the squad.
Glover won't last long, but will Vale get rid of him before its too late? With Glover at the helm, I really fear for Port Vale's football league status. He already seemed to have accepted defeat. Time to end this 'old boys-legends' appointments of managerial positions at Vale and get someone in who can get the job done.
