    So with Sky showing around 50% of matches there's no way that Vale fans in the UK, who can't go, will use a VPN and log on for the International iFollow coverage of every game, especially the ones not on Sky. 

    Yep, that definitely won't happen.

    No chance. 

    :whistling:

    Unfortunately, I will need some technical instructions on how to set up a VPN. Still don't really understand such things as blue tooth 🤣 Still needs must so I suppose I will learn. This is really a crap decision though. Do the EFL really think everyone is going to go out and get Sky because of this.

    League 2 preparation

    Ah well, that was a crap season for loads of reasons, relegation obviously being the main one. So my sporting interests will switch to Lurcher racing where my daft dog has a better chance of winning, than Vale have of winning a match. 

    However I think there are a few positives to be had from all of this. First, Flitcroft has gone. I don't think he was ever a good influence at Vale Park. Carol has now seen the realities of football club ownership. That nothing ever goes to plan. Football is never any where near an exact science. And no amount of money and grand plans can ever ensure success. Also disaster is always around the corner. This I believe will make her a better owner with a better insight into football. On the playing side, we do have the prospect of some good youngsters coming through, which we have not had for a number of years. I believe that we will have the funding for a good squad next year. Darren Moore at least seems to have the flexibility to change formations when needed. Whether he will be the man to lead us out of league 2 remains to be seen. I do feel more confident of better times this relegation than others. 

    Would be nice though to have a season where relegation isn't an issue  

    Wycombe (H) match thread - 16th April

    Surprised very much by the Cheltenham collapse in recent weeks. 
    Never for a minute thought Burton would find enough points. 
    A couple of weeks ago I had Burton as by far the worst team out of them Cheltenham and us. Cheltenham I thought were the biggest danger to us with the easiest run in. We had two wins thought we could do it.
    But Cheltenham and our collapse is amazing. We were bad before, but we have become awful now.

    Exeter City (H) match thread - 13th April

    So he could of played in Division one ( Premier league as we now know it ). 
    Can't agree there. 
    I would agree that would be a subject for debate and opinion. Personally I think he could have held his own. From what I understand is the reason he was never sold on, was because Villa had a big sell on clause in his sale contract. Whether we ever had any enquiries from Div 1 clubs at the time I do not know.

    Peterborough (A) match thread - 10th March

    I can see why Moore went with the tactics he did. As he could not see us beating them by going for it. Unfortunately it resulted in us hardly putting a glove on them, making us probably look worse than had he played a more attacking line up. Actually not probably but did. However bar for some rotten luck it could have come close to getting us a point. Yes I know they missed chances, but that's their problem.
    The first goal to come seconds before half time, from two deflections, was awful luck. Timing could not have been worse. The penalty was Needless. Then an own goal for the third. I'm not saying if not for those we would have got a point. But for some awful luck, we could have come close. I know to watch it was awful, but to try and get that point, it was the only way to set up, with players we had. It didn't work out, as once we went behind we don't have the quality to overturn that sort of team. No need to go on about what Carlisle did. I would guess that was a bad day at the office and a weakened team.
    I expected us to get beat by Peterborough. What I did not expect was Carlisle to beat Cheltenham. So we are still better off than I expected.
    After that performance I feel the players will be strongly motivated for Exeter. Just need the Gas to get their players off the beach in Magaluff.
    We do have a tougher run in than Cheltenham. But the do seem to have gone to pieces lately.
    So still hope.
    Apologies for babbling on so much. Just hit a bored moment in the day.

    We need 12 points from 7 games

    I think the biggest problem is Cheltenham have a far easier run in than us. And a game in hand. Cambridge although 6 points ahead of us could drop points then it would be be down to us to beat them by something like 3 goals on the last day. We don't score goals. Burton are poor and I think will go down.
    Can't see us doing it. I hope so much to be proved wrong though.
