The result doesn't matter on Saturday, I'd rather us put out the youth team on Saturday and lose than watch the same half arsed players make the same mistakes over and over again and lose. I'd play Ripley smith chislett garrity and the rest of the young lads. I don't know where some of them play but Walters, shorrock,plant,buah, brazier and Di pepa. I wouldn't bother playing any of Jones,lowe,lacovitti, grant,ojo,ikpeazu,Massey,sang and loft as they have had more than enough chances and just put in the same crap can't be arsed performances. Play as many youngsters as we can as I will get more enjoyment in watching them lose than the same bog standard players. I will predict 3 1 to Cambridge.

The fa cup has gone down the pan anyway as it's not going be on itv or BBC from next season.

This season we lost 7 nil away at Barnsley and we're going lose this game 6 or 7 nil. Next season we will be back to our annual 5 or 6 nil thrashing at Swindon. I honestly think in 12 months time if we have finished 3rd from bottom in league 2 with this set of players we will have done well. Unfortunately most of them are under contract so it's either pay them up or freeze them out and don't play them and obviously if you do that you are basically paying wages to players you don't want. I can't see many of these waste of space players getting football league clubs. Who is going want Wilson when he's injured half the season and only scores 4 a season. Who is going want uche or loft who have played about 30 games each in all competitions and scored 2 goals. Who is going want Dan Jones injured half a season in all 3 seasons at the club and even though sometimes he does have good games he makes alot of mistakes and gives loads of penalties away. The only players that will attract clubs attention are the ones we want keep that are garrity,chislett,Di pepa and maybe Ripley.

Fair pair to anybody that goes to this thrashing. Make sure you drink as much beer as you can as the game will be <ovf censored> from our perspective. What's our record defeat? If we defend as badly as we did against Exeter in the 2nd half and in the first 10 minutes against Wycombe then we could lose 10 nil.

There was a topic on this forum 2 months ago about season tickets and I said then that there's no chance I will be renewing. Even at frozen prices I can't justify paying that to watch that garbage. I've missed 4 home games this season due to not being bothered go and several of the home games I've arrived 10 minutes late to find were already a goal down and left early when we have being well beaten. We sold something like 6500 season tickets last season and I'm thinking we will only sell 4000 this time. I would have said they should reduce them to 250 but even doing that I think they wouldn't sell the 6500 season tickets, as loads of fans are bored and fed up of losing.

Expecting an easy away win here 2 or 3 nil. This set of vale players arnt worth supporting. The fact alot of them are under contract next season makes me think we will be bottom 2 in league 2 next season. Everybody I've spoke to has said there not renewing there season tickets and these are people who have been going 30 to 40 years. I think I've had enough aswell and will just go occasionally next season. For this season I think lose this 2 or 3 nil, Bolton will put 5 past us and we will probably beat Cambridge 3 1 but by then we will be already down.

They should have announced this offer a week or so ago and not waited 2 days before the game. People may have already brought there ticket for the Exeter game at the full 25 pounds price. If they had announced this deal after we had beat both Burton and Bristol rovers then quite a few would have took it up as there was abit of a buzz about but now after last night's tame effort everybody is down in the dumps again.

Last night's performance was one of the worst vale performances I've ever seen. We basically showed no ambition at all to get forward and even try score a goal and win the game. We let Peterborough have the ball all match and they had 75% if the ball and when you give good players at this level the amount of ball we did then there bound score against us at some point. In the end we ended up with our only decent shot in the match coming right at the end when we were 3 nil down. If it hadn't been for Ripley then it would have been 6 or 7 nil. I think pretty much all of us expected to lose this game it's just the fact we showed no ambition in the game, it was basically like vale were San Marino and Peterborough were England.

I saw a post on Facebook burslem mother town page saying the new owners are looking to sell it already. Basically they arnt making enough money from it so want to sell the business. The man and women who had it previously to these new owners had it for years, ran it well and successfully but have now retired hence why they sold it. Hopefully it gets brought by new owners who want to run it properly as everytime I used to go there Sunday morning it was busy.

We don't have a good record against Peterborough, so if we only lose 1 nil I'd take it, as it doesn't do much damage to the goal difference which is what it could come down to.

He only scored 4 goals in 27 games last season. This season he has only scored 3 or 4 goals and missed about 3 months due to injury again. Yes he did well in the 2021/2022 season in league 2 but I'd be releasing him, not even worth a pay as you play deal either.

Yeah and 2 of those goals would have come at Cheltenham where we ended up losing 3 2.

We need win 1 of our 3 remaining away games. With Wigan having nothing left to play for then technically this is our easiest away fixture. Wigan have been dreadful the past couple of games, so no doubt they will play really well in this game and thrash us 3 or 4 nil.

The tickets have now arrived as I've just been up to buy one. There's only a handful left in block ns2 and I think there going be putting the ns3 block on sale later. There's 2 people basically going through all the Wigan tickets and sorting them out and whilst I was there somebody rang up and was told the tickets will be available to collect from tomorrow.

I actually wanted to physically go to vale and buy a ticket in person then I know I've got the ticket and don't have to mess around either collecting the ticket later in the week or on the day. I might not bother going now and I'm sure there is plenty of others thinking the same.
