Smurf - admitted his failings and took full responsibilty for relegation and accepted he was hoodwinked. Jim Gannon, gave a chance to Premiership Dam Morsy, dropped pisshead Gary Roberts, won a game or two and signed Tom Pope. Carol wont admit she has been hoodwinked. After just six games I have had enough the waffle coming from DM's mouth every pre/post match interview. I never bought into the non rousing speech before the game. I said the game would be over after ten minutes. It so predictable that I dont bother watching anymore. I go through the motions of reading the post mortem every Sunday though and hope something has changed. I live in hope but accept reality.

No Glad all over........I think the guy who played it had his position made redundant due to lack of work. Seriously, hallelujah, bag of <ovf censored> song. Goal music is so cheesy. Hope it is binned off for good.

That should have been followed up with: "So are you stating that we will not go down, therefore if we do, will you resign having failed to build a squad to compete in League One?"

Yeah, back in October when AC should have gone to give the new manager time to work who he needed in the Jan window. What do you wanna do to improve things? Happy clap like a seal to Glad All Over when we pull a goal back after being 4-0 down? My morale boosting team talks previously consisted of giving my Sunday players a complete and utter bollocking. Not a few days away at a fooking spa. We are full of wet lettuces. Every player wants <ovf censored> off.

Today is going to be a disaster. Fans up for it, goal conceded early, fans start booing. Floodgates open. It was all over months ago. We are <ovf censored>. No dressing it up, we are gone, down, screwed.

Many sensible fans thank you for your efforts mate. Great stuff.

Is Benning playing? If so, Benning first goal, Shrews to 4-1 like when Macc put 4 past us under Sinnot. Zero faith, Schitcroft out, if he stays then Carol out. Moore out, coaches wives out.

We are already on 3 wins in 27 I think it is now.

I know, apologies. At least I am kinda bothered but given up. During the Hank Twatiker years I don't think I even checked the scores for two seasons. I am heading that way again.

You mean two defeats in Hand? 🤔

It is no coincidence that being nice in football gets you nowhere. Look at M̶K̶ D̶o̶n̶s̶ Wimbledon in the 80's, a nasty team, up and at 'em football. They flew through the leagues and won the cup.

Clitcroft!!! 🤣🤣🤣 Fraudcroft Flipchart Any othera?

Is there anybody left on here who actually thinks we will stay up?

I think there are only a handful of people whose head I would call for after three games. Jim Gannon, Mark Stein, Steve Foley, Ian Cranson. I wouldn't even call for Lou Macari's head. Darren Moore has a free hit here. The damage is already done. He needs our backing 100%.

You are blinded by your own stupidity. Are you suggesting that I am racist here. I was merely saying that the club is going down the pan while we piss about with the most unimportant of things. If people are still against gays then what frickin century are they living in. But you wouldn't understand my angle as you are pretty brain dead. You come across as "I know this, I know that, I know footballers, I have sources" you know three fifths of fcku all. You can't even read plain English and understand it. Australia least inclusive? Again you so are clueless it is laughable. We are so multicultural it is unbelievable. It is an amazing way if life here. Better than backwards Britain. Carol out.

No, but I am questioning my sanity as to why I am even questioning staying up until 2am to watch it.

I identify as a fan of Port Vale Football Club......which no longer exists. We are now Port Vale Politically Woke lobbyist group, which happens to have a really <ovf censored> football team. There are bigger issues in the world if we wanna go political as a club, gays, lesbians, nobody gives a damn anymore, this is so last century, it really boils my urine as we slide to oblivion again.

Apologies to anyone who read before the edit. I have finally snapped.

Maybe old school but I think that system worked better. Managers lasted longer and football was an entertaining business. Just look at the modern day guffball throughout each division these days. Just my opinion, Yeah, I am old school in many ways. Bring back terracing, ditch goal music......not that we would notice. 🤣

I want Carol to wake up and smell the coffee. Any manager who identified the players that we have and strategised the way we have played should have been sacked a long time ago. If Flickers can creat a great environment for players then brill, but he should be nowhere near the first team. Only Darren Moore and his back room staff should should be recruiting players and be responsible for formations and tactics on the pitch. If it doesn't change, then I would say thank you Carol, but we need somebody to take us forward.

70 pages, and the best comments were saved until last. I'm with VFiB.

Carol is as much to blame as Flickers. They are building the infrastructure before the team. Didn't Darlington or Doncaster do that with a nice new stadium, undersoil heating and gates of 2,000. Then they disappeared out of the league forever.

Wilson 19, Massey 32, Uche 17. You had a common sense lesson off a cabbage. Thanks Rob, shocking that even with 42 appearances between them. Even more shocking that I actually thought that Vale fans were smart enough to work out that the appearances were combined seeing as we don't play 68 games in a season, never mind half of one. 😀

Too many posts in this thread for me. Are any of the guys strikers? Between the injured Uche, the semi permanent injured Wilson and prolific Massey, our forward line has amassed 5 goals in open play this season from 68 games. How scary is that?

What I am saying is, we can't use injuries as an excuse, it is part of the modern game.
