Both stockly and tolaj can play the loan striker role,so as you say we can play that system or 451 / 442 /433 so many options now

Yeah I’ve no issue they can do the lone striker role it’s more will they be coming to interchange & be on the bench. Also would love to see them play alongside each other especially at home

His defensive signings will show how he wants to play at the back

Surely a centre back will be next in the door. Or back up keeper, I did say we may use the academy kid on the bench this season which would be a risk if Ripley gets injured. Be interesting to see who comes in next that’s for sure.

Is it pay on the gate next weekend for the friendly at Kidsgrove guys?

Am happy to keep Loft as there's now less reliance on him. Wondering whether he could, as well as playing up front, could slot in on the right?

Think so mate. We are going down

Thanks pal

We may owe Tommy Widdrington a big thanks for helping to sell the club to Lorent and his agent. Top player for the Vale and took no prisoners.

25 goals 11 assists what's not to like .

Tojal happiness at this signing .

A young hungry player .

We have had over the years some superb signings from non league .

Peterborough do it all the time .

I'm delighted by this signing more than any other up to yet add a leader at the back and I'll be even more delighted .

I wouldn't be surprised if the captain is announced today or tomorrow as most folk will renew today on yesterday's signing .

Why because hard working  folk love a story of a player like say Ian Taylor coming from (non league)Moor Green and being terrific for us .

Tojal welcome fella enjoy

Any ideas on what formation we might line up with now we’ve paid fees for 2 strikers who come with some expectations? I can’t see Stockley or Tolaj coming to sit on the bench so maybe a 4-1-3-2 🤔 obviously some games we may start with 1 up top hopefully not the likes of Salford away! 

I just hope we don't try and shoe-horn Tolaj into a front 3 or something. He's a centre forward. That's where he played to score all his goals.

Moore has previously said he likes 4-2-3-1 or 3-4-3.

You'd expect Stockley to be the "1" or the central striker in a 3.

But then I'd estimate we've spent £200k+ on Tolaj so can't see him warming the bench. Would be criminal to force him to play out wide.

I can’t remember the last time we had two strikers starting the season as powerful as Stockley and Tolaj. Best pairing since Popey and Hughes.

We will soon find out mate 👍🏻 I’d like to see a 4-1-3-2 myself especially at home but not sure if that would leave us exposed in the middle of the park 🤔

Isn't TJ going to get some credit for this, in contrast to the pelters he was getting as Head of Recruitment from some?

Maybe an old fashioned. 4-4-2 with two wide men and the two centre midfielders playing an 8 & 10 role. Perfectly suited to Croasdale and Garrity 

[Fosse69]

One or two of us have mentioned his name before as a player to look at from the national league
There were plenty in for him and we have spent some wonga..... it's a good job we are on a reduced player budget  

Budget enough to trigger his release clause.
