That is what happens if you actually sort out transfers in the Jan window. You survive the drop. Fraudcroft didn't and we paid the price. Got what we deserved.

Well we didn't lose the game. Thank god the match is over. Wonder if Houston listened to the full match or went back bed. 🤣 Bring on the close season and how DM builds next years squad. Will Carol back him with finances or just cut the budget back again. This side needs better players, players with fight and character, not the bottlers, wimpy players we currently have till the retained list comes out.

Carol get used to the lower gates next season and where the away teams bring double figure fans. Only chance of bigger home support depends on the team put together and if we look like bouncing back.

Mitch Clarke about to come on - probably get injured and off again. 🤣

If it's one of the teams with big squads then may be not, but smaller squads then yes. All depends on how the team view him and his potential now and what it could be in the future. Only he can make the decision and then live by it. Good luck to him if he goes and we will support him if he stays. The joys of close season, who is going and who is staying. Will the young players sign new deals and stay with the Vale.

Thing is this is generally what happens to the young players snapped up by the big teams, if they don't break into the first team straight away, then they go into the reserves/development team and then either do it or just bounce around further down the leagues.

Sums up the recruitment team and fraudcroft thoughts. That is why we are down - it was sihte.

Uche missing a sitter with his head. Come on Vale.

Sounds like DM will be clearing most of them out and then rebuilding a new side around the youngsters here already. The joy of close season, looking for the retained list and thinking what - why let him go, you kept them and then wondering who will be coming in.

Then its the close season wondering if its another season of no strikers and then panic buys. 😭 At least we know that wont happen at Vale Park now we have DM. Just the worry some of the dead wood will still be here come the start of the season.🤣

Come on watch it all - why should you be lucky. We are listening to it here and we are all thinking I could be watching the paint dry or the grass grow outside. 🤣

Depends what his agent has filled his head with. But yes, get that contract signed and develop at Vale.

Wonder which Funso will be on the pitch today. Come on Vale. Mixed feelings like Cambs probably has if we take them down with us. Cambridge used to be the Wife's mum and dads team. But if they go down with us, we can go down there for the away game and put flowers on their graves. 😉

Oh slack marking just outside the box. Oh we haven't heard that much over the last 2 seasons.

Never too early. Got up in the early hours in sandy clims to listen to Vale. 🤣

Fans could throw rotten tomatoes at him. 🤪

You would hope it is and then the rebuilding work can start. Not last minute dot com building a team to get us back to Div 1.

With Smith, is it being Captain and being played out of his favourite position that has affected him this season. He is one of those, in Div 2 and no distractions like Captain he may find his previous form. There again he may not. I am not one of those - he needs to stay as he is Vale through and through. Not your gash now - so off you go. Port Vale comes first. Ojo seems to want away after Crosby left. Just hope the Owners back DM and he can build a squad to bounce back into Div 1 first time. But Div 2 is a hard one, if the squad plays like it did the last 2 years.

DM needs to be given this season to sort this bunch of sihte out. Either getting rid of them and building his own team or working with them over the close season and building their confidence back up, getting the silly mistakes out of them. Bring in new players into key roles we need and then at the end of the Dec 24 if we are still sihte, then call for his head. He has had fraudcroft poor 2 years of recruitment to deal with, the team was built for a certain formation - which we all knew would not work- apart from Carol and fraudcroft. Not even God could get most of them to average non-league footballers, let alone league footballers. 🤣 Also see what the owners do backing him.

If the players don't turn up then they need to be gone straight away. Don't they realise this is the very last chance for them to say boss I could make it in Div 2. Please don't get rid of me. But no doubt most of them wont take this chance and still make the silly individual errors.

Out of that squad there are probably 3 players that spring to mind have any fight in them - Garrity, Ripers and Smudge. Uche would just bounce anyone off his frame. The others just have no fight in them at all. 🤣 Was the tweet posted by anonymous.

Wife's parents supported Cambridge and dad used to talk about the players they had and how they bargain shopped all the time, so have a soft spot for Cambridge. But they found good players most of the time. Being able to spot the better players (rough diamonds) and bring them on is the trick.

It wont happen, curiosity will get the better of you and you will be back to checking every hour or so like the rest of us. 🤣

Agree DM needs time to sort out the dross and get them gone from this club as they are contracted next season. However, some want instant success from the team. Not even God could get most of the players to league standard and playing well. The team is very weak and asked to fill loads of positions which is not their favourite position. Also full of individual mistakes which are under 4 mistakes standards - not professional footballers. There is no real fight in most of them, only a couple show fight and will stand up for the younger players.

No doubt it would be added. Then charged interest on it.
