On 1st January we were 15th in the league with 29 points from 23 games. Exeter were 4th bottom with 23 points. We signed 5 players none of whom started today and none of whom are league one standard. Exeter signed 4 players and 2 of them scored 3 of their goals today. If anyone thinks our position is down to anything other than completely sh*** recruitment then they must be mad.
Each transfer window we have rebuilt with polystyrene instead of bricks. And we seem to have spent a ludicrous amount of money in doing so. Moore makes mistakes but he has inherited a squad that is lacking in balance, bottle and balls. That's all.
And another thing. Since 1st January we have won 2 points from losing positions and lost 11 points from winning positions. What does that tell you about the squad mentality?

Peterborough rob dogs. Full price - £3.50 - for an out of date programme and £2.50 for a bottle of water. It’s cheaper in the Premier League.
The programme isn’t out of date despite what the seller told us!!!

Less than half of the teams in our league have a player that has scored 12 goals. Why should we, the team with one of the smallest budgets in the league possess one of those players? Df or no DF. Not one other team in the bottom half pretty much has one, who do they all thank?
But we don’t even have a striker who’s scored 6. And the season isn’t over yet so there might well be over half the teams who have one. If you look The stats from last season two thirds of teams in our league had 12 goal strikers.

I believe our wage budget was in the bottom 4 in the league.

The signings do though.
Lack of funds or incompetent recruitment?

im not suggesting that at all. im suggesting at the time they wanted to do it as cheaply as possible and just about stay in the division. the recruitment of moore was a massive meltdown on behalf of the club as we are in dire straits and its probably costing us more now that it wouldve just to sign a run of the mill 12 goal striker.
Which was vey bad judgment by the guy in charge of recruitment who told the fans that relegation wasn’t in his vocabulary at the end of January!

they cost money. we either
a) are skint
b) unwilling to spend.
either normally ends up with a team in the lower reaches. i dont believe for one second " other targets" chose other clubs because of anything other than finances.
How much do you think Moore and his staff are costing? Doesn’t suggest lack of funds.

It’s actually 4 clean sheets in 6. Moore can’t count!

With a decent 12 goals a season striker we may well have won the last two games. Cheers for that DF.

Since 1st January we played 14 games with Flitcroft in the building, got four points and kept one clean sheet. Since he left we have play four games, got seven points and kept three clean sheets. Is this a coincidence?

He said "the website" clearly meaning the official site.
The club restricting the release of information to a third party bot and spam filled social media site that you have to sign up to see anything isn't a very good idea.
I’ve never signed up to the Vale Twitter or any other Twitter but I can still read it. Earlier in the week the tickets section on the official site said that the tickets weren’t currently available.

So you complain about lack of information because you don’t read the website which has the information?

My better half heard it live on the radio at Chesterfield. Does anyone else remember thinking "bloody Liverpool fans causing trouble again"? Little did we know.
