A good resource for looking at players who we have no clue about, I certainly don’t when I see most names mentioned on here, is an app called FOTMOB. It gives you rating for players based on their contributions during a game. Well worth checking out because it gives their career stats and previous game stats too.

But first you need clubs to buy and pay off these losers contracts!
Not really. If we want to get a contracted player off the books then we can just agree to let them go and rip up the remainder of the deal. Depends how much we want to free up wages and get said players out.

I can see someone paying off Ripley contract and snapping him up... Too good for league two.
Hes that good that he’s done his best to get in to it two seasons in a row.

If we were winning games no one mentions the managers interviews. Start losing and people start reading too much into everything. Looking for stuff that’s not there.

It's a cesspit. But we deserve to be there.
Flipping it around, all we need is some sensible recruitment and there is no reason we can't hit the top 3.
Wrexham, Mansfield, Stockport gone. Hopefully MK Dons can go up to get rid of them too, and there really isn't anything to fear.
Agreed. I’m sure other clubs will have the same idea that this league is probably not as strong with those clubs gone and will go for it too. Chuck some money at the right players and we can get back.

I agree with many points.
Our biggest problem this season is our lack of identity..ie playing style.
We have mainly played 3-5-2 or 3-5-1/1.
And that is vogue in the modern game so no problem there, however that is were the problem has been.
From game 1 we have let Ripley launch the ball upfield mainly because he wants to but secondly because our 3 centre backs (especially Smudge and Yak) Are scared to have the ball. From my recollection and I've only missed 3 games this season only Lowe has passed the ball out of defence with any purpose
And as for our wingbacks who are continually criticised they must be thinking what the hell is going on?
They continually have to gamble on were the ball ends up after its repeatedly been launched and fans wonder why they get caught out of position from time to time.A real team playing 3 centre backs welcomes the ball and the wing backs become heavily involved in the progression up the pitch thru the lines.
The best wingback in the world could not play for vale as they would be repeatably starved of the ball and probably frustrated with the lack of Basic passing ability from our centre backs
This has got to stop we need defenders who can not only pass but want the ball off our keeper ASAP so we can start moves off.
The wingbacks have been hung out to dry and been the main scapegoats for our none playing style.
There is no doubt that Moore seems clueless at present you only have to see our last 3 games the ball being launched up to Uche has been painful to watch .
See you Saturday at Vale Park
UTV
It’s going to be interesting to see how DM wants to set up. Personally I think we should ditch wingbacks as being our main way of setting up and bring in fullbacks next season. I also think our pitch is too big as well. I wouldn’t be against them bringing it in a bit next season if they wanted to and make it a bit smaller.

She’s damned if she does and damned if she doesn’t. Makes a statement and people moan, if she hadn’t made a statement people would moan that they wanted a statement and an apology. She’s done the right thing by saying something. We move on to next season now and see what happens.

As for my absence - it has nothing to do with not being paid by Flitcroft - which is very nearly libellous - but more to do with my recovering from having half a leg amputated! I rarely have to worry about the upset I may cause people on here - my personal attacks are mostly in response to being attacked
Good luck with the recovery 👍 yoi could get a game up front for us next week and probably be more effective than some.

I assumed he meant the behind the scenes structure. I don’t believe that he came into the club blind to how we operated and I think his appointment is also a big factor in DF going and i think he will get more say than I believe Crosby had in transfer dealings

Shame on you Mrs Shanahan.
Coming out with comments about us not going down and not being in the vocabulary was ridiculous and complacent.

Started the 1st game of the season in CM.
Clearly that's where he was signed to play.
Then fill in at RWB if needed.
Our wingback options have been shocking this season.
- Sang: Centre mid playing out of position.
- Clarke: Injured. Unlucky.
- Massey: Winger playing out of position.
- Plant: Winger/forward playing out of position.
- Grant: CM most of his career. Never a WB in a million years.
- Shorrock: 16 year old winger. Thrown to the wolves.
- Mighten: Winger playing out of position.
- Jones: CB playing out of position.
I’m with Doha. I think we signed players hoping they could do a good job in multiple positions and make do when needed. Trouble is that making do has lasted all season.

We really have a poor squad don’t we…. But stranger things have happened in football, we need a huge slice of luck today.

I agree you can't allow for Clark being out almost all season but we haven't had a right full back for two seasons since we realised gibbo worrell for how great a player that he was wasn't a wingback and playing him there you weakened two positions has he was our most creative player in attacking positions and on the other side we weren't lucky enough to have the lean and trim twice as fit looking mal benning that dominated our left side for Shrewsbury we had the inconsistent unfit one and failing that it was dan Jones and hes one of the biggest wastes of man juice ever up there with joules an look how good we made him look last week he even scored for fu(ks sake
Be interesting see if Clark hangs around next season, I’m assuming though that he signed a 2 year deal?

Sang would be the first one out of the door. Not only is he not a footballer, he’s also blowing out of his arse after 60 minutes.
It may be a controversial thing to say but make our pitch smaller too. It hasn’t worked to our advantage at all.
Seen Cass mentioned a couple of times. Is he still under contract for next season?

Ripley needs more competition for me & if he was to ever get injured I wouldn’t feel comfortable with Leutweiler in the sticks for too long. Get a half decent youngster in to push Connor.
Ripley won’t stay. He’ll be jumping ship like an albatross to the next league one club to be relegated next season 🤣

Can’t pin that on the manager though, Clarke had the same issue the season before. That lies with our recruitment team. If you can’t land any players, make sure you don’t release any then, letting Conlon go was stupid, although not a first teamer and most likely to be released, he would have played a major part for us in the last 4 months after Devine and Arblaster left, instead we relied on 2 more youth loan signings, one who played 1 game, never to be seen again, and the other who is no way near ready and has paid a major part in us losing points in the last 2 games.
Flitcroft has now gone but we have to be looking to make major changes to our recruitment team as they are continuously underdelivering.
Im not trying to say thats the managers fault, and neither can you pin injuries on the manager but all those factors don’t help the manager when he needed the recruitment team to come through for him in January.

2 ways of looking at it. Build a strong squad with league one experience (but pay more money in wages) to have a crack at coming straight back up or build a solid league two squad with players of that level and don’t pay as much.

Can anyone remember that mid season interview where they basically said they expected grant to have a season of double figure assists?
He's been by far the biggest disappointment for me.
Making claims and setting goals that the club have outwardly expressed like that comment about Grant, also being championship ready, relegation isn’t in my vocabulary, the squad is phenomenal and whatever Carol said about DMs mrs thinking we’ll stay up is like the kiss of death. There’s no need to come out with stuff like that in public because fans aren’t convinced by it.

Losing Garrity for the period at the end was a massive blow, him and Chislett have been our biggest goal threats all season
And getting no one in during the jan window.

I’m not convinced on Moore at all but to say Crosby would’ve kept us up is ludicrous. Think you’re forgetting how bad he was.
How bad he was or the squad we’ve assembled? Because Moore has done no better with them.

I can barely remember him.
