    I completely agree with the final point. Where was the tribute from the club?

    Dreadful on and off the pitch what on earth is going on? What should have been a good season has become a nightmare.

    Just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse it did. When the news came through that the game had survived the weather due to the efforts of Steve Speed and his team we were all looking forward to what we hoped would be a show of continued improvement. Sadly it would seem the management forgot to tell the players, we started okay but their first goal came courtesy of the bumbling Brown and Smith comedy duo and quickly distinguished those hopes. Adebayo must be sharing his goal scoring bonus with the Vale defence given how easy it was for him. There was a brief reprieve when Conlon’s well struck free kick went straight though their keeper and so at half time the score was even. There for the taking was the message I sent to my son at the half time break, how little did I know!!! Shocking defending by Fitzpatrick allowed Walsall to put the ball into our box for the unmarked Adebayo to double his bouus money, too easy!!! Their third goal took some believing, Fitzpatrick under no real pressure played the ball back to Brown who slightly distracted by the advancing Adebayo took his eye off the ball and it duly ended up in the net, disaster!!! Frank Sinclair then makes some changes so we go 2 up top, we huff and puff but we aren’t capable of blowing anything down and certainly not Walsall’s defence. Another poor performance, Conlon , Taylor and Guthrie the only players that I thought put a decent shift in. So where are we, slipping down the league at an alarming rate of knots the next 2 games against Scunthorpe and Southend take on a new importance, we must win both!!! Come on Vale, let’s get it sorted out, as Columbo used to say “one more thing before I go” next time it’s snowing and we haven’t got everyone available let’s not bust our balls to get the game on!!!

    It’s not in hindsight but questions were asked regarding the recruitment of players and the majority have not been good enough and with regular players being unavailable for various reasons it has led to a major disastrous run of results. The two full backs playing against Walsall are poor and again the formation leaves one up front. It must be hoped we can survive the rest of the season and recruit a manager who will rebuild which must mean an exit of players in order to bring new players in.

    One up front does not work. Yet again, that was the formation for the majority of the game. Brain dead from the current management team/whoever is picking the team and “tactics”!

    Something is going on and it needs sorting out

    We are now looking at our 4th poor season in 5 years. Very hard on the owners while remarkably we still have 4000 plus supporters who continue to back the team. The defensive side of our game is the most concerning. The first thing Micky Adams did at Vale, and going further back, Gordon Lee, was reduce the amount of opposition goals going into our net. Without that you have nothing to build on. Going forward you would think a front 3 of Amoo, Guthrie and Worrall backed up by Conlan and Taylor would give the opposition some problems. We sure need to win one of our next 2 games against fellow strugglers. 4 points would give us the boost we desperately need.
