  1. Carol's glowing review of Moore - "I can't believe Darren Moore would come to little old Port Vale" - reminds me of Smurthwaite appointing Ribeiro - "Wow, Jose Mourinho has recommended him". Moore hasn't got any sort of track record of turning around poor teams. He's great if you've got a budget and want promotion, but he's clearly a big fish in a small pond manager. We'd have been better off with an old school spit and sawdust type manager. Yesterday was baffling once again. James Plant at right back?! HE'S A FORWARD! Surely the move would have been to bring Lopata on, then put Smith/Debrah at RB?!
  2. We're breaking all sorts of records this season!
  3. Imagine swapping Pett for Lowe. Madness. Lowe would be a great signing for someone like Harrogate or Sutton in L2, not a L1 club.
  4. I won't be getting a season ticket next year. I've lost faith that DF can rebuild this team after the last 3 windows.
  5. We'll be gone long before then. I reckon we'll be down with 3 to spare.
  6. When can we mathematically get relegated? We lose every single week so it must be soon?
  7. Carol always talked about a "5 year plan" to get out of League Two. We did it in the first year. Therefore, if we go back down to League Two, it's still within the plan? That's the only reason I can think of.
  8. Okay with that. Would be good to take a bit of momentum/positivity into L2 for next season.
  9. We're doing well. But it feels almost inevitable that Orient will score first.
  10. Orient having more of the ball. We don't seem to keep it for long. No chances yet for anyone.
  11. This lot are the most mentally feeble. Weak. Fragile. Not an ounce of resilience in the majority. Most fans could accept us falling short if we went down fighting. "Rolling over and having our bellies tickled" springs to mind.
  12. This is how I feel. I really can't be bothered with League Two. Turning up for home games where the away side have brought 100 fans and stithouse their way to a 1-0 win. Everyone deserves to be in whatever league they end up in - but it's all so avoidable ending up in L2 again.
  13. Ripley has got a bit of personality - I like him. Jury is out on Debrah for me. Might be okay in L2 but I'd like to think we could attract better.
  14. Yep. This. Was after fans were getting frustrated when we'd be a good position to cross the ball, but we'd turn back and play it back to the keeper instead.
  15. Re the line about "assuming all fans are morons" - I think there has been a lot of that recently. Earlier on in the season when our sole tactic was passing it back to Ripley every time we get the ball - we had Ojo/DF and Crosby talk about "educating the fans" on why this is the best way to play and that anyone that disagreed was a pleb. Then we had Carol's pathetic letter telling us all what an amazing job DF is doing (without mentioning what was happening on the pitch). Even going back to last season when Carol said we'd "had a good January window" - we all knew we didn't. Maybe, just maybe, the fans have a point here and actually know more than the "professionals" running the club?
  16. 1. Sack off the 3 at the back/wingback system. It's boring, slow and doesn't suit the fanbase. 2. Go 4-3-3/4-2-3-1 and sign some high quality wingers/forwards. Emphasis should be on goalscoring, not pointless possession or "aligning with the values of the club". 3. Squad DNA: Fast, attacking football. With athletic, physical players that hate losing. 4. It's easier to say who to keep: Ripley, Clark, Garrity, Chislett, Yak (squad), Plant. The rest can go. 5. The kids should go out on loan in non-league and play 40+ games.
  17. Depressing to think we've got 11 more games of this.
  18. The more I think about these last 6 games, the more I think Moore isn't the manager for us. He doesn't fit the fanbase. We need passion and honesty. He's too 'nice' (common theme). Was prepared to give him a few games but we're just clueless. Massey up front? Top scorer Garrity in holding midfield? Chislett/Mighten on the bench? Does anyone in the club have an ounce of common sense?
  19. This is the worry. We've been targeting players in L1 that have ended up playing in the Europa League - dread to think how many strikers we'll "nearly" sign when we're in L2.
  20. Bit more effort shown. Just way way way below what's required of a League One team though in terms of ability.
  21. Wonder if we'll win again? Even Forest Green got 1 win in the 2nd half of last season and they finished bottom, 20 points adrift and -58 goal difference!
  22. Shrewsbury are terrible and they're waltzing to this win against us!
