  1. Thats what was so pleasing to see.The fight from the whole team was there. Has been missing big style for many weeks. Hard to single out anyone but Smith and Loft were teriffic. Little bit of confidence now, first for a long time. A win on Friday would be fantastic for us fans. Just think what it would do for the players...
  2. Might be a silly statement but " have the players given up "
  3. Glad to see this in writing BUT until i see or hear it from Carol, i question if a season ticket will be for me next season. Flitcroft HAS TO GO and NOW. The recruitment team, analysts etc all have to go. Carol HAS TO GIVE HER FULL BACKING to D M and allow him to have full control over recruitment, whether this be him and his management team or his own choice of recruitment team. Without this statement NOW i believe we will see a 40% drop in season ticket sales for div 2 football next season. Div 2 football is guaranteed i am afraid. I am not sure D M is the right man but he is the chosen one so he has to be backed by Carol. What i am sure is that Flitcroft has to go. He is shocking in his current role at the club. He is to blame for the complete shambles we now see every week on the pitch. FLITCROFT GET OUT OF OUR CLUB Oh and Carol, i hope that your one and only choice for manager, D M , is the right choice and not just another whim where someone has quite easily fooled you......
  4. 8 people = 500 years average 60 ish years Take away yourself and your better half [ 74 yrs alone ] and i would guess ... 6 people = 380 years average 60 ish years ** To get some 40 years vale fans there has to be one or two over 80 years. Not too young then ? Personally i am totally happy with everyone i have heard was present. Just hope you all have the desired effect. Unfortunately things will only get worse. Until Flitcroft is cleared out, together with the majority of the players he has signed.
  5. Tony. What a post. Together with this , Bede, Mellor and co. its time we all accepted the meaning of the meeting. No one can honestly expect a sacking the following morning but that is exactly what people expect to see. Hopefully follow ups to continue and this is what should happen at the Vale. Then we can see if there is any benefits to both the club and fans, on and off the pitch. All us fans wanted was to be kept informed and not keep hearing bits sneaking out from people who were also not present at the meeting. Anyway. Now that i have read your post and your humble reply to what you say was your initial thoughts and what your comments would have been had you been sat on the keyboard, I cannot wait for your post re : your comments to referees and officials over the last fifty years !!! We sometimes forget that referees are people, hard to believe i know, but people they are, as you know from your stint in the middle. Found this quite amusing to be honest aswell as a terrific post from a true Vale fan.
  6. I dont find some people funny thats for sure, but they do have a sense of humour. So they say.
  7. Spot on. Comments from Bede and Mellor earlier would have stopped " all the assumptions about various aspects of the meeting " Not only that several people who were also not in attendance at the meeting certainly know plenty of what was discussed. The groups were there on behalf of the supporters. Just give us some info after the meeting and all is good. For what i know of and have heard about, Bede, Mellor, Dicko and co. the fans views and thoughts are safe in their hands. Lets hope the discussions continue. Very soon i hope
  8. A significant part of the meeting focused on the current football situation and the role of the D of F, differing views, mutual respect and improvement needed. Many will interpret that how they want to, rightly or wrongly ! Carol - will never change her views on D.F. He can do no wrong D M - is now in sole charge of all footballing matters. Might also cut down on the amount of bickering on here too.
  9. Tell us more if you were present. I can read the comment. Unfortunately the comment is open to so much misinterpretation. Then people are ready to jump on ones back and make snide remarks if they disagree with someones own interpretation. Far better to let all know. Isnt that what Black n Gold, Supporters club etc etc were there for. I know for certain that some people already have received information from the meeting.
  10. That meeting was arranged with the thoughts and concerns of ALL the supporters. Dont you, or others commenting on here, feel that us supporters deserve to know some of what was discussed in the meeting. Good or bad we should be told.
  11. Thats much better than any left sided player we have had this season. Like a lot of players, yes they needed replacing but only for better ones. Flitcroft has failed us big style AGAIN
  12. Correct. The closest Ojo comes to becoming a playmaker is a ten yard pass sideways instead of backwards Hes probably had four man of match performances in two year where he is running into advanced positions that make him look a decent midfield player. Majority of time he is there to cover the front players and strengthen the back five To be fair its harder to judge when we are so poor all over the pitch. Ojo is not alone in that because he is so poor himself. To me he is playing without any intent or interest. If we lose Saturday and he does not improve his own performance then i would drop him.
  13. Correct. The closest Ojo comes to becoming a play maker is a ten yard pass sideways instead of backwards. Hes probably had four man of match performances where is running into advanced positions makes him look a decent midfield player. Majority of time he is there to cover the front players and strengthen the back three / five To be fair its harder to judge him when we are so poor everywhere else. Ojo is not alobe in that because he is so poor too, Yes he is playing without any intent or interest for me. If we lose sat and he has the same game then i would drop him.
  14. Half of them cant be accused of pulling out of tackles. They never attempt to make any.
  15. Our budget dictated we include them in our squad this year. Carol ' wanted ' it to happen " Look how good our home grown academy really is " Flitcroft answered Carols prayers. Flitcroft is a saint dint you know None of our youngsters should be anywhere near our first team squad, especially in league one and expecting, at best, to be just above a relegation dog fight. Plant i would have hoped would be in the first team squad, mainly on the bench getting a few run outs, or even going out on loan for a few months and playing regularly
  16. Happy to have lower mid table budget for league one. What has gone wrong then ? ! / Whoever set the budget does not have a clue how much was needed to achieve our aim 2 / Our recruitment team are useless 3 / Whoever spent the budget has completely wasted it 4 / The manager is not very good
  17. Yes, we spend purely to impress ! How else will a premier league club let their kids move down to Vale without seeing the training facilities, changing rooms, nutrition, fitness, schooling, the whole ' we will look after your kids ' process. What for ? Done us good for half a season. Two lads done really well and i am sure we played a small part in their progression. In the meantime ?? Dont mind all the community work and help the club can offer.
  18. Agree entirely. What worries to more is that our young academy lads are just as much to blame and i worry if this is how we bring them on. Is it now a game of very little contact. Dont get stuck in.We sit back and take the right position but then stand like statues and let teams play through us. Fleetwood second half was a perfect example. No tackles, no blocks just stand in their way. Surprise surprise, four passes and a bit of movement and they are crossing a ball into our box. We see the seasoned pro's do this and we may say they are not trying. Hope the youns uns are not guilty of that too. The fact that Smith doesnt even do this the way he has done for years tells me there is more wrong off the pitch than we know about. Or our players really are poor league two standard players ' with no heart and passion '
  19. Like we have said for two years. We have done it on the cheap. Why will anything be different next year ? I know that league 2 will cost a lot less than league 1 to rebuild a complete squad
  20. IF we were top of the league, his interviews would be no more inspiring. Its how he is. Bit like Rudge in many ways. Its his results that we will judge him on NEXT SEASON
