    DC would have been paid by us until he had another job. 

    Would we not be paying the difference in his wage until the end of his contract unless we had negotiated that when we dumped him out of the club (the first mistake we made)

    . I don't know if anyone noticed Crosby's body language yesterday at the end of the game. He was going around the players patting them on the back except when JW came up to him he couldn't wait to move on the next player 

    He was probably just making sure he didn’t injure him

    And just been outplayed by a team that has forgot what it's like to win and was the only reason they didn't beat us today. Garbage up front. Rubbish at the back. If we get even close to the play-offs I'll have Crosby's name tattooed on my arse cheek. You can even pick which one.

    At least we will definitely see the tattoo as you show your arse every Saturday.

    The Happy Clapper Club members will be pulling other things along with Christmas Crackers over the weekend after stealing a point against Wycombe.

    How many teams have stolen points off us this season. 
    You genuinely seem more upset when we don’t lose than when we do 🤷

    We have won the last 2 and no-one hopes more than me that is the start of a great run. But before that we had got 19 points from the first 18 games. 18 games is a much better indication of the quality in this league than 2 games. Multiply that tally by 46 games we get 47 points which is usually relegation. With this team as it is I think we will go down. If we find a good penalty box poacher and another left footed wing back option I think we'll be fine. The question is based on recruitment in those areas do you have the belief that we will get the recruitment right?

    20 games is a much better indicator of the quality in this league than 18 games. We have got 25pts. Multiply that tally by 46 games we get 58 points which is usually mid table. I suppose it depends on your predisposition and whether you ignore the last two games to alter the facts.

    We lost v Middlesbrough by an unlucky deflection, bad mistake in possession at the back and letting a player come inside and shoot. We were lucky that Balmer didn't gift them more goals before the manager subbed him. 

    The stats are we had 39% possession making 4 shots with 1 on target. That's not going to win games. But Middlesbrough need some credit. You could see they had good defenders and showed it in the way they blocked crosses off. They only made one big mistake and it was Massey who just couldn't keep down the hard hit cross reaching out close to the line. 

    Middlesbrough dominated possession. 618 passes. What stood out for me watching from Lorne Street was they were technically superior by quite a distance in controlling and manipulating the ball. They also had better player movement in the team to receive the ball in play. They could play quicker than PV in possession because of these factors. 

    Middlesbrough were happy to make sure PV didn't harm them and did this by simply keeping possession. But their attacking stats are 10 shots, 5 on target and 3 goals. So they were potent. 

    I can't say whether their great superiority is simply better players with more talent. Or whether better coaching plays a significant part. What did strike me, and worry me a bit, is that Walters looked out of his depth when he came on. So the point I'm making is he would improve much quicker and to a higher level at Middlesbrough.

    If we are going to keep the players we bringing through and progress as a club we need coaching to be at Championship level. I don't see that presently at team level or individual level. 

    Have to disagree that walters looked out of his depth.

    For what its worth my thoughts on it all are Crosby has to go(maybe even with Flitcroft) then lets combine their wage or push the boat out a little IF we are supposed to be Championship ready then prove it and get in a manager capable of giving us a chance of getting there... I do believe we have some good players in our squad but they need a manager who can bring the best out of them and also who will have the window to make a few changes needed.

    IF Carol cant afford to do this and has taken us as far as she can then i would say thank you Carol for all you have done but put the club up for sale to see who could take us further forward,I again have no doubt she would only sell to the right person/s

    As for a manager,one who is available who i believe could move us forward is Duff a manager who might want to build his reputation back up like Taylor is wanting to do at Bristol Rovers(another i would of gone for). If we want a manager in work and doing a good job then i would say Pete Wild but he hasn't managed at this level so would be a gamble.

    Last night we lost a lot of potential money and it would of cost us on the night as well having only 2k there,that wouldn't pay the costs but imo keeping Crosby is going to cost her a hell of a lot more than getting rid of him

    Have just been informed that the last 4 payments to a much needed matchday service have bounced. Straight from the horses mouth too. Also, a big announcement is going to be made in January. My guess is Carol is going to sell to Dono finally and he is going to get Robbie involved. If my guess is true I think that means that we are stuck with Crosby regardless of results until any announcement is made.  Also, the work on the toilets has been delayed because she is trying to get the council to pay for the work.

    Again, with everything I say on here I would be very much in the minority (probably on my own) but I would love see a Steve Evans being the next Vale manager.

    He get's his teams promoted. He get's them fit, playing exciting football (see Tuesday night) and takes no prisoners.

    We would easily finish in the top half of the table and maybe the top 6 with him at the helm.

    He's one of those people that people <ovf censored> hate him unless he's part of your team

    He hasn’t managed to beat Port Vale, a team managed by Andy Crosby in 3 attempts. No thanks.

    I know you are trying to be positive but it's a pointless statement you have made.

    Its pointless saying if it was 5 minutes of injury because it wasnt.

    Stevenage were a League Two team last season and we have not beaten them in 3 games now.

    Saying Stevenage were a league 2 team last season is a pointless statement. They aren’t this season. They are 3rd in league 1. What was your point supposed to be?

    100% agree. I do think the feel good factor can return and I truly believe we have fantastic owners who are trying to do the best by the club. We need a change of direction, starting with a new manager that everyone can get behind. 

    I’m amazed that you think Carol would fund a manager we could all get behind.
