Port Vale manager Jon Brady has told the media that the squad will “go back to basics” after the dreadful display against Exeter City.
The Vale manager conceded that “basics aren’t happening” after the Valiants slumped to a 3-1 home loss on Saturday.
We’ve got to strip it right back and go back to basics. At the moment those non-negotiables, those basics, aren’t happening…
Brady told BBC Radio Stoke: “We’ve got to strip it right back and go back to basics. At the moment those non-negotiables, those basics, aren’t happening.
“We need to find the solutions with those players who are willing to win their battles and we’re going to make sure we get that right for Tuesday.
“You can show them, which we have done, you can talk to them, which we have done, and then it’s about them delivering it and if you don’t deliver that consistently then you can’t play for this football club. That’s simple.
“So we’ve got to get the selection process right, maybe even the shape needs to change to get that right, to get those individuals in that will win their battles.”
Jon brady is right. At one stage v exeter guaci was standing foot on the ball, crowd booing but not one outfield player was moving so many times players just watching the man on the ball. Movement and effort is a basic
Too little too late i am afraid!
I’m now beginning wonder if I owe an apology to Darren Moore for the criticism of his management techniques I gave of late. I always thought he peaked too early in getting us promoted at the first attempt. I know this wasn’t the boards expectancy hence giving him a 5 year contract. This should of been the year in trying to get us in a position to challenge for promotion then build on that. You can see now why he was changing every position and player in trying to find the best squad whom were up for it this season. Some of the input from these players is just not acceptable and unprofessional. Jon Brady, good luck youve a massive task ahead and I really hope somehow you can pull it off. The players really need look at themselves they all tell us they believe they are at the minimum this level so put a shift in just like the rest of us working class folk and head home knowing you have!!!
