  1. Be careful what you wish for; no guarantee that we would be able to assemble a squad that's any better than what we have. We are assessing our players based on how they have performed in L1, which is a big step up from L2. Others that you have failed to mention will do us a job in L2; add a sprinkling of decent signings and we may have enough to come straight back up. I am confident that DM will not allow another failed transfer window to happen.
  2. To be fair, connor grant is, on paper, that better player. Most fans hailed that as a good signing but its obviously not turned out that way.
  3. Ojo's body language in both the Fleetwood and Derby games struck me as someone who's thrown his toys out of the pram for whatever reason; thats not looking for a scapegoat thats an observation. Lazy passes, shrugging of shoulders, the only player not clapping fans at the end (despite the fact they have obviously all been told to no matter what the result). Clearly he's not happy with the change of regime but thats no excuse to not give 100% when you're getting paid as much as he is. We need him to buck up fast.
  4. Thats it, after yesterday, I'm done with vale. See you Saturday.
  5. What about the admin / legals with drawing up a contract etc. The sort of stuff Colin Garlick dealt with and no-one was asking what he spent his time doing? Besides, name me one example of a D0F stepping in as caretaker.
  6. So there's no pre-game prep on the Tuesday? And what about training for the next game? Its a pretty flimsy stick to beat DF with this one I'm afraid.
  7. That's very harsh. Unless you're Man City you're not going to have 11 footballers, you will have a team of 11 players with different strengths. Uche's strengths are there for all to see and he would be a big asset to us in our current circumstances. He would have taken some of the pressure off us 2nd half on Tuesday that's for sure.
  8. In his defence on that one (I'm not trying to defend him on every count), how was he supposed to run training sessions, etc whilst trying to recruit a new manager? Surely that was his primary responsibility as DoF? I'm not sure I know of any DoF who has stepped in during those circumstances?
  9. The fact that this thread exists beggars belief. In what other sport would the manager/coach come under fire after 2 weeks in a job, let alone the one that DM has taken on. As for him not being the sharpest tool in the box, this is football folks or should we be looking towards Oxford or Cambridge University for our next manager?
  10. Check out the responses to the vale twitter feed to her most recent award: "bit more PR for her", "No, no, no we need sort the club out first", "thank god she doesnt enjoy the limelight and just focuses on running a football club", "we're in a relegation battle f@%k this SH!t", "great news if only it was helping the club win games. get your head out of your arse and concentrate on the club ffs". Shall I go on? As for the comments on "The Wonder of You" fb page......check that out too.
  11. Maybe time to stop mocking carol about her various business awards?
  12. Not for our current position no but between now and end of season we have to go with what we've got to stay in League 1. I'm assuming that's what everyone wants?
  13. It's not over till its over. I know who I'd rather be stood next to in the trenches.
  14. I don't think the players and staff have given up but a lot of fans certainly have. I saw effort on Sat I just didn't see enough quality or confidence. These are the only guys who can keep us up so not sure what chants of you're not fit to wear the shirt are supposed to achieve.
  15. DC has publicly said he needed time out of the game to sort his life out which is more than understandable. I think we ought to bury the hatchet and stop blaming flitcroft and Carol on that one.
  16. Doesn't matter if we decide to take a quick one and he doesn't deliberately attempt to block it. Massive own goal by us.
  17. Forgive me it was Melbourne Valiant who was expressing strong views, its him/her (😉) I should have quoted.
  18. I've got no strong feelings about stuff like this so I struggle to understand why people find it so offensive. Do you feel threatened by it? If so, why? It's hardly a force for evil? 😕 Maybe go and live in Russia if you feel that strongly.
  19. There's a difference between interfering and offering advice, particularly if an inexperienced manager is asking for it. Its called mentoring.
  20. How many posts before this turns into another flitcroft out thread? 😀
  21. Thanks, I had not read that article but you can see how some fans would pick up on the 83% and use that figure without qualifying. I wasn't suggesting that you had done that. My previous point still stands that 1,000 is still only about 10-20% of the 'interested' fan base and those that do vote are the ones that feel most strongly about it; those that are not necessarily calling for flitcroft's head probably still on the fence.
  22. I'd be interested to know how many OVF users casted a vote on the recent poll that had many people concluding that 85% of the fan base wanted flitcroft out? I think its fair to say that those who want flitcroft out are generally more vociferous and active on social media as they want to vent their frustration. Plenty of fans like myself (because I speak to them) think flitcroft has a lot to answer for but don't have a personal vendetta against the guy and don't want to see things get ugly so choose not to add more fuel to the fire. As for the black and gold stuff; how flitcroft can be compared to that lot is bordering on hysterical. Like I've said in previous posts, if you want flitcroft out, dont buy a season ticket until he's gone. If enough decide to do that then the club will have little choice but I cant support the growing hate campaign.
  23. Asking whether moore can keep us up is an unfair question but ask if you think flitcroft will take us down you'll say yes? Bit confused by that but my point is anyone who last week thought Moore could save us but doesn't now because we've lost 2 games in less than a week of his being in the job needs to give their head a wobble.
  24. What was your reaction to Moore's appointment?
