  1. An abomination of a second half. What makes it sting even more is that nobody could confidently say that the first half was plain-sailing. Fleetwood had some decent chances and were frequently loading balls into it our box. The penalty gave some daylight to the scoreline but Charlie Adam rightly believed his team were creating problems, hence he adapted at the break. Even if we acknowledge Flitcroft’s abysmal recruitment and the squad Moore has inherited, the latter’s second-half tactics and substitutions were head-scratching and alarming; as was his assessment that we were “comfortable”. Why remove Ojo for Lowe? (Why did we ditch Tom Pett, by the way?) What positive outcome was genuinely expected by isolating Loft and Mighten in no-man’s land? Was Ripley instructed to repeatedly belt the ball out of play on the left flank, but not before Dan Jones had attempted to scramble his way towards keeping it in with his head? It was dire and embarrassing. God forbid the quality of football on show if we didn’t have two changing rooms and ice baths. One last thing. Vale fans are frequently being asked to “stick together” with the team, “as one”. To this fan, it’s felt restlessly patronising. For the majority of last night - even during that horrific second-half display - the fans backed the players and the manager. They did so - despite this team’s nosedive in form - to boost and support the players on the pitch. If the individual(s) pulling the levers at this club could put ego aside for one moment, step back, and genuinely look at their contribution to what has happened on the pitch since May 2022, they would not only witness successive blunders, but they’d have the decency to admit it.
