  1. If you’d have told me in midweek that Flitcroft would be gone, Vale would beat Burton and Loft would score the winner … I’d have said you are very positive and I hope that optimism turns into reality, please leave your contact details so I can comment on the accuracy of your prophecy should it occur.


    Get the F in, that was a massive away win… we’ve still got Cambridge to come as well, that win was a long time coming and massive boost to the teams confidence and no doubt belief that we CAN DO IT!
  2. Suddenly things look a bit better… Oxford dropped off a cliff, next to Vale Park. Followed up by Burton in touching distance, all with games in hand. Green shoots.



    We can do this…. 6 points behind reading, 2 games to the good, 6 points from Cambridge and 1 game to the good. Great clean sheet tonight and we should’ve had a pen!

  3. But we knew this before mate it’s nothing new. I don’t agree reading are woeful they’ve got a good record at home especially recently. They will be comfortably clear end of the season & they’ve had 4 points deducted 


    Defensively we are beyond woeful, we give the ball away too easily, the opposition transition down the wings we just cave, give too many yards away, backing off….. we don’t close any purposeful/attacking pass down, too easy to get into our box… that last goal, 5, FIVE vale players inside the 6 side box + the goalkeeper and we still concede, every single one of them flat footed, they had 2, maybe 3 players in the 6 yard box, including the incoming goalscorer.

    It’s a joke, unless they sharpen up, react quicker and defend higher up the pitch, instead of having 7-8 players defending the box as the opposition is attacking… feels like we have a defend the box mentality or way of playing and we are just conceding too many!

    We are going down, there’s nothing to suggest it’s going to get any better (yet)

  4. Wish Kennedy would disappear. I know the odds rarely have anything to do with the actual outcome of these things but the thought of him frightens the bloody life out of me 


    It’s a good job alex Ferguson wasn’t in the stands for the game…. I don’t think there is anything in the Kennedy story, he just happened to be watching his old team the day after our gaffer got the sack

  5. Moore would be a good hire, having take a team out of this league into the championship. Boner would also be a good hire if we’re looking at getting promoted from L2 next season, but would be a backward step.

    If we are serious about being championship ready, then a manager that matches that is a must

  6. Can't see anything positive now, we are heading down I feel unless we push the boat and bring in a manager who is proven and I don't feel we have any money .  You say we could have done without playing Orient, no matter who we played we would have lost, Carlisle have won one in about 14 that was against us, Fleetwood none in 15 before us, Cheltenham bottom when they played us, it does not matter who we play anymore.


    Don’t forget Burton at home

  7. Maybe he's pissed but that Duffy shout is more realistic than the shouts of John Eustace and Darren Moore from some on here


    Duffy is laughable, not an ounce of league experience, the club would be signing its league 2 death warrant with that appointment.

    We need a manager that can give this team a bounce and has proven ability to save a team from relegation

    Head in hands!

  8. Not seen any rumours on Devine? Need to keep him ideally or we will be in a mess midfield wise!
    Need a Wing Back still, a problem position for us in recent seasons, midfielder to cover (2 if Alfie goes) and a loan Striker or a punt on a promising one on a permanent.
    A lot depends on how far away Ojo is I guess though, if Devine goes Ojo and Weir with Chislett in the 10 isn't the end of the world.


    Huddersfield I’d heard had maybe enquired for Devine… could be pure hearsay though
  9. Spot on mate, stepped up to "seasoned pro" mode to be an excellent role model for the youth of the club.


    10 goals for the season and we’ve just completed December - the lad is a massively valuable asset and will be going places beyond vale, wouldn’t be surprised if we see a few bids. His energy, his leadership, his tackling and of course his finishing, we know he’s got it in him from the promotion season, he just gets better and better

    UTV - great result and great to see Jambo back with 2 goals and a new contract!

  10. Or the 42179 (actual paid)  v Liverpool in 1964 replay,when scousers gatecrashed the paddock and thousands got in free.I ended up sitting on Hamil end of ,pitch adjacent to the goal.Frightening night.


    A couple of scousers paid for my then 12 year old dad, to go in to the Vale end, as he was sat on a wall trying to watch the game. (His folks couldn’t afford for him to go)

  11. It’s a history making quarter final HOME fixture… what is the issue? Do you have to pay potential long journey travel expenses? Do you have to pay a premier league pricing (Man U has been quoted) people need perspective - don’t see any reason why this would not sell out?

    Once in a lifetime game of football at vale park! Sds very reasonable to me, UTV
