Asked a Vale fan whether Stevens was rightly dropped?
"I would say yes. He started well but has been really susceptible to long shots. His distribution as well had been pretty shambolic. However, recently he seems to be getting worse, particularly his command of his area which has disappeared. Not sure if it's a by product of the defense in front of him going to pot, but Stone probably deserves a few games to stake a claim.
When he first came to us I was really disappointed he signed a new contract with you cause I wanted him at the end of the year, now I'm chuffed"
Interesting to read that his weaknesses from last season seem to have come back into his game, even with a different coaching setup.
