  1. Simple question before you decide who to release do you trust Dave Flitcroft to bring in better players in the summer after the majority of failings of the last 4 transfer windows, I think it’s a sad state of affairs that our promotion team would fare better than our current squad in league 2!
  2. Well that would go down well with Vale fans then! Not! I was at that game and seem to recall it being shocking from Robinson
  3. I’m not saying he was great or the way forward but at least he seemed to show more effort than others
  4. I agree, I’ve been critical of Loft in the past but he was actually one of the few on Tuesday who actually seemed to be putting some effort in, I think the main problem with him is either he just does not fit the way we try and play or are not playing to his strengths
  5. I think that’s why the character of the new manager is also so important, it needs to be someone who will understand the fans and have that connection with the fans, this is exactly what the likes of Darrell Clarke & Mickey Adams brought to the table, what we don’t need in our current position is another Jim Gannon scenario or a dull as dishwater bloke or just another mouthpiece/Flitcroft clone.
  6. Perhaps people from the club (Carol, Flitcroft etc) should venture out into the stands on Saturday and connect back with the fan base and actually LISTEN to what the fans issues / concerns are etc and get some supporter feedback from what the hardcore fans who are still bothering to turn up would like from the club going forward, they don’t have to agree with people but if nothing else it would offer some better PR from the club’s perspective and May just give them some more understanding of what the fan base are unhappy with and the best way forward, at the moment it very much comes across like they have there fingers in ears and believe everything they are doing is right and the fans are just a lot of ungrateful moaning old so and so’s with no knowledge of football who should just turn up & jump onboard with the PROCESS, personally I thought this approach had vanished since Carol arrived but unfortunately somewhere in the last 12 months I get the feeling the club is losing the connection a little with the everyday supporters, we are Port Vale FC not Dave Flitcroft FC
  7. Spot on, of the permanent signings only really Ripley & Chislett look better than anything from from our promotion team we are very much a team of individuals lacking character (with the exception of a few like Garrity etc) the likes of Worrall, Hall, Benning, Proctor, Gibbons would fare better than most of our current team in lg2, as a squad we also seem to have lost any real characters & connection to the club caused by this constant squad culls every 12 months.
  8. Manager requirements:- 1) Will you work with DF? 2) Are you happy to let DF control transfers? 3) Will you play a 532 formation passing backwards & sideways? 4) Are you okay playing without strikers? If answer is YES to all the above, you have the job!
  9. Approx 1000-2000 stay away fans last night and probably 50% of those that did attend last night seem to have a different opinion re our DOF and what’s currently on offer
  10. Seems to be Carol’s vote of confidence in Flitcroft, as mentioned it tells us mostly what we already know and most aren’t disputing some of the off field things, it is the on field failures of the first team that aren’t mentioned in that letter including- A) Poor Recruitment of permanent signings since promotion B) Poor tactics/ style of play / philosophy and not having the players to fit our supposed style C) Poor management appointment of Andy Crosby and then the timing of Andy Crosby sacking D) Lack of communication from our DOF as to the reasons for some of the above It strikes me at the moment there is a big difference as to what the owners/dof want as to what the supporters want and it strikes me that Carol is backing her own decision to appoint Flitcroft, time will tell if she is making the right call!
  11. Or 3) A mate or former player of Flitcroft! Wouldn’t surprise me to see Adam Murray given the job
