    Burton (A) match thread - 23rd March

    in Port Vale present

    Posted

    We've got players coming back into fitness at just the right time.
    Thought plant was decent in this game despite being played out of position twice.
    Uche not far away and will be helpful as a last 30mins chaos sub.
    Clarke there or there abouts.
    Be interesting to see how much of a high Dipepa is on after his U17 exploits. We might actually have a stronger first 11 and more threat on the bench
    DM hinted that Clark is going to be out for the season, as is Dan Gore

    Oxford (H) match thread - 16th March

    But at least we played with pride.
    I keep saying it....we are worse under Moore.
    I somehow lasted at the game until the point where Wilson aimed a cross field ball to DiPepa...straight out of play.
    Then the interviews....God help us,although,I don't think he actually could 
    Carol has allowed Fraudcroft to help assemble this squad and we are stuck with them next season. His process is appalling ..it has no substance. Get loans in,they go back,get more loans in. The only striker we have signed is Uche. Even an idiot knows you won't score goals with no strikers. Arblaster made Ojo look decent. Devine carried the MF when he'd gone. I actually think Ollie will get young player of the season and he hasn't played since December.
    Owen Dale has made 15 appearances and 13 as sub with 2 goals and 2 assists. Jones made him look like Messi. This was playing against a team that got hammered 5-0 on Tuesday.
    Yesterday will have been the last straw for a lot of fans. They've already started disappearing where I sit...over 20 home defeats in 2 seasons ..Carol...you are running the club with your patronizing appointment of El Presidente and your snotty condescending letter to the fans backed by an obnoxious arrogant fool who announced he isnt thinking of relegation

    It the vale players Carol Flitcroft that make the vale fans miserable and fed up it not the fans fault that port vale are second from the bottom of the league . I think the vale fans have been extremely  patient.  to put up with a lot of the rubbish that port vale football club as put the fan though .   I will be going and supporting the vale till the end of the season . 
    Are you going to change your username to 'Vale till the end of the season'?

    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

    Reset as much as you're like. But don't try to insist that everyone should be like you. You can do a jig before every match right now and convince yourself we're going to win. That's your choice. Others prefer to be a little more realistic and know exactly what's coming, because we see it week after week instead. Gutless, spineless players with a few exceptions who are ultimately very poor at football for this level. No amount of back patting, high fives and virtue signalling changes that.
    Here he is, right on schedule

    Worst vale team ever

    in Port Vale present

    Posted

    The two or three months when Gannon was in charge for some reason has stuck in my mind as the worst Vale team I’ve watched (since the mid 1980s).  However when I look at the stats 2010-11 wasn’t all that bad as we had a good start under Micky Adam’s, so perhaps it was just the deterioration in performance under Gannon and the ownership turmoil that I made me feel so down about the team at the time?
    Although we are a division higher, since Moore took over this past month has been without doubt the worst team I have watched.  However,  I took a complete year off after the Ribeiro/Brown debacle and never saw the Neil Aspin managed team that finished 20th in league 2 in 2018.
    You were lucky

    PVFC Meet delegation of fans regarding current concerns

    You say Carol should know the feeling of the fanbase so there is no point in telling her. You then ask numerous questions:
    Why does she continue to employ DF?
    - See Carol's letter
    Why hasn't the club signed a striker?
    - Listen to Flitcroft's podcast.
    Can't she see what is happening on the pitch?
    - You're asking this despite saying she clearly knows how the fanbase feel about all the issues raised.
    How long will she employ Flitcroft?
    - Jean said Carol didn't answer this question.
    Is she considering selling the club?
    - See the immediate official response to idle speculation from national newspapers about Robbie buying the club.
    Why is it taking so long to repair the toilets?
    - I think it was Matt Hancock that answered this question some time ago.
     
    Your post implies that both Carol and the fans know everything that's going on at the club and how each party feels about every issue, so there is no point in Carol meeting with fans. Yet clearly from the questions you asked you at least don't know Carol's perspective on things, despite the letter and the podcast and various announcements and messages. Is it so hard to believe that Carol wasn't or isn't fully aware of the fan's perspective of various issues?
    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

    Disagree, under previous regimes this was the right way to go about it as the money was being pocketed by the likes of Smurthwaite.  We now have owners who are not the issue, I will have the occasional moan about them but we all know what the problem is.  He has to be removed from this club and continued protests about him is the only way for him to go.  I dont feel starving the club of finances is the way forward.
    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?
