What an idiotic decision it looks now for Brum to bring in Rooney and sack Eustace

46 points is going to be enough I think. Can we win 2 home games? COME ON VALE!

Do you really believe that it's that easy to get around minimum wage laws? [emoji1787]

Out for 2 weeks initially [emoji16]

DM hinted that Clark is going to be out for the season, as is Dan Gore

The manager picking his own boss? [emoji2955]

That's the spirit! [emoji1787]

Are you going to change your username to 'Vale till the end of the season'? [emoji16] Good on you VTID, we need all the support we can get. One win and the right results elsewhere can materially change our prospects in one afternoon. Let's hope that comes about on Saturday

Some of you don't half love wallowing in your pits of perpetual misery! [emoji1787] We got a point and a clean sheet. Yes well probably still go down, but each game is new. Win on Saturday and there's more hope.

I agree. Wilson and Debrah have to at least hit the target with their chances. But at least we're actually making some chances and keeping at it

What game are you watching?

Here he is, right on schedule [emoji1787]

Hope that 90 off year old who's just come out with the Orient team is their striker

Tonight's going to be interesting to see how DM approaches this. We really do have nothing to lose now. I'd rather lose 6.2 than succumb to another 2.0 defeat having not got out of our own half. Hope DM sees it the same way.

Just paid for ifollow. Why am I putting myself through this again? [emoji1787]

I wonder if the bloke who threw his season ticket onto the pitch walking out of the Paddock has been reunited with it? Be just his luck if he gets it posted back to him [emoji1787]

You were lucky

Glad someone else saw that as well

Sums up this thread

But they've been answered. Asking again and again won't change the answers nor the situation. That's the point.

Spot on. People love asking the same questions over and over, when most have been answered to a large degree by both Carol and DF, simply because they don't like the answers given as it doesn't suit their rhetoric or agenda

Simply my own opinion of the percentage success of that season's incomings (the named players). The total incoming is the first number of each line

Don't get in the way of a good OVF 'fact' from Dave in the pub

You can't just isolate DF in all of this. Who employs DF? Carol. Who hired DF? Carol. Who continues to support DF? Carol. Without Carol, there's no DF. To suggest that he's got her over a barrel, has brainwashed her is both ridiculous and insulting to Carols intelligence. For the record, I love Carol. We'll NEVER get an owner who genuinely wants the best for the club as she does. I trust her judgement, and don't pretend to know the ins and outs of bringing players in. I swear some of you think it's as easy as saying oh, we want him and they magically arrive and will be guaranteed successes. DF is really no better or worse in the transfer market than how it worked previously imho. This is my take on the last few years recruitment success to this season ('success' being very generously applied by and large): PRE DF: 9 - Grimmer, Lines, Dickinson, Griffith - 44% 24 - Veseli, Andoh, Marshall, Streete - 16% 13 - Ikpeazu, Inniss, Alnwick, Streete, Foley - 38% 30 - Jones, Eagles, Bikey - 10% 29 - Worrall, Whitfield, Pope - 10% 22 - Clark, Conlon, Oyeleke, Legge, Joyce, Brown - 27% 16 - Taylor, Amoo, Burgess - 19% 13 - Rodney - 8% POST DF 23 - Cass, Politic, Harratt, Garrity, Benning, Jones, Pett, Walker, Wilson, Proctor, Hall, Charsley - 52% 15 - Harrison, Butterworth, Ojo, Forrester - 26% 20 - Ripley, Devine, Arblaster, Chislett, Debrah, Sang - 30% Do any of you actually know what role DC and AC have played in recruitment? Do you really believe that DF signs every player on a whim and does not consult the manager at all?
