You could say Crosby's team were doing well until he had lost plant and Clarke and with them any pace to carry the ball up the pitch. Devine only really played well for his last month or so and was in and out of the team when we got the majority of our points this season. He was also without garity towards the end. I don't think it is fair to judge either manager with the unbalanced squads they had. Moore may have a bit more pulling power when it comes to signing players. I also don't think the majority of the players are as bad as everyone makes out its just hard when there is no pace, no full/wing backs and it is difficult to make subs that improve the team.
Personally I don’t think that Plant or Clarke have done much for us this season even when fit. I think before we started people were excited by the signings of Sang, Clarke and Grant. But none of them have done well as wing backs IMO. We’ve had a stinker in recruitment in that area, an area that let’s not forget is key to how we setup and play. None of them are that decent defensively IMO.

I'm baffled by Moore's interviews...he waffles and repeats himself. We don't appear to have a method of football and the team gives up far too easily. He did lose Devine and Blaster but Garrity and Plant came back...not the same positions or players but my original point was that wouldn't it be better to play your best attackers to try to score goals?
I think Chislett is one of our better players but not where he's being played and he's played 2 full games under Moore
Aside from the first half Saturday, I can’t remember Chisletts last good game, people might say he’s scored this many goals and got this many assists, but for me he’s been out of form for months and hasn’t warranted a place.

I'm not gutted for the owners if we go down, it's a harsh lesson in how not to run a football club(on the pitch). The warning signs were there from the 2nd half of last season and weren't heeded and more poor decisions were made. This coupled with not listening to the supporters until it's too late I don't have too much sympathy, it's 75% at least self inflicted. Yes they've done a lot of great work at the club on a crumbling infrastructure(off the pitch) but the 2 facets need to run side by side.
Sad but true. They’ve lost sight of what’s important.

Ultimately it would the club's fault for failing to make adequate Jan signings.
Every bugger else managed it. Cambridge have 9 strikers. Just beat Barnsley and Wigan away over 3 days to move clear. Our dysfunctional relationship with strikers failed to be rectified and the ramifications are imminent.
Trying to spin it in summer 23 when we ballsed up that window too with "we'll get goals from midfield instead" was a load of utter <ovf censored> <ovf censored>.
Players were out there, we just didn’t get them in. Cambridge also went and signed a full back in Gibbo who by the looks of it played left wing back for them this last few games. Another position we needed strengthening in.

It seems such a tall order to win at least 2 or 3 games, but then we have to hope that Cheltenham don’t pick up points with their games in hand. I think it’s going to come down to 4 out of the current bottom 5 sides. Cambridge, reading and Shrewsbury on 45 and 46 probably only need another win to be safe.

3-1 Cambridge

2-0 to Cambridge

Fancy us to nick it 1-0 today. Loft.

He keeps getting Walters and Dipepa mixed up. Some would say he’s racist.
Shocking post. Why would you try and start something like that? I’ve heard the commentators get other players mixed up too who aren’t black.

Young players like BD are being snapped up sooner than they used to. But, yes, a goalscoring, tenacious midfielder like BG is on most club's shopping lists - let's hope for a bit of loyalty from him?
There’s no loyalty in football from clubs, players, managers etc. I wouldn’t blame him if he moved if a good offer comes in for him. He’ll know full well that there would be no loyalty towards him from the club if the shoe was on the other foot and it was them that wanted him out.

For me, like I’ve said, Moore had walked into an absolute shambles. With very poor players. Or so it seemed.
His record was awful. His subs were baffling. His set up was delusional at times. But I backed him because of the “awful” players at his disposal.Hindsight. Wonderful thing.
But blatantly obvious that Darren wasn’t having 100% control in what he wanted to do.His interview when he walked through the door mentioned “Dave” a dozen times or more. It was excruciating. That was the power that Flitcroft had and how brainwashed Carol was.
Now we are seeing those “awful” players flourish. A new lease of life.
IF we stay up this should be a massive wake up to Carol that we never go through this again.
Loads of hope now and optimism for the end of season push to safety.
It’s amazing what a turnaround we’ve seen since DF went. I didn’t expect us to be so different. It’s like night and day.

Bristol played like this last season at VP. Mid table, nothing play for and you can tell
Shocking from them. Great for us again though.

We’ve just got to take care of our business. Does show though we shouldn’t just treat Peterborough and Bolton as throwaways in our run-in. These teams will have their own pressures they’re dealing with and you never know what it could do to them.
Exactly. Look at Cambridge too at Barnsley. It can be done.

With Dimensions a council owned business upgrading their 3G pitches does anyone think that this will benefit PVFC.?
We used to use their pitches for training if the weathers bad. They are well overdue an upgrade. Is that why we have been up at Roe Lane instead?

4 at the back or plant and sang wingbacks today?

The question is how many of 2 year contracts have relegation release clauses in there agreed contracts. I bet Ben G and Ripley have as they are the only ones worth keeping
They all should have a clause about a salary reduction if we go down. Usually it’s around a 25% cut.

Probably see some better games from the amateurs than we’ve been treated to from the first team.

Pv1973, the released list will be very short as the majority are under contract for another twelve months, I can’t see us having the money to pay up their contracts. None of them have covered themselves in any glory this season so I can’t see us being able to sell them. As I said previously, I think we’ll need to strengthen even if relegated, so the best thing would be to try and get some of these lay abouts out on loan.
i would imagine that Moore will want to cut some of them loose, maybe other clubs will take them and their contracts get cancelled without the need for a fee.

What a crazy comment.
"Let's hire a bloke to sign good players with no track record of doing this for other clubs".
Sent from my SM-G981B using onevalefan mobile app
Do you know what you’re on about? You’ve moved your goalposts a bit.
The club will decide on the track record of a prospective director of football / head of recruitment, not a bloke on a forum asking other fans what “gems they’ve unearthed”. It’s not just about “gems” to build a football team. Remember that was your sole question about Foyle and you took great pleasure in quoting yourself and saying no one could answer you. But how could they when fans know nothing about other clubs and their recruitment? Like I said it’s up to Vale to decide that.-

I’d suggest whoever will be looking into recruitment for next season needs to be in place soon if we are to be approaching targets once this season ends in May.
This. Clubs will already be identifying targets and sorting their released list for next season.

Can someone tell me why we should consider Foyle, apart from being an ex-player/manager?
Examples of him unearthing gems etc?
It doesn’t bother me either way about Foyle, but I think it’s a daft question to ask about what gems he’s unearthed to justify him now being right for us. Because how would anyone know what gems he’s unearthed when no one is following the clubs he’s worked for? All people are seeing is that he’s been working in the game at that role for the last 10 years or so, on the face of it thats a lot of experience working as a head of recruitment. Also it’s not just necessarily about unearthing gems, it’s also about having the right contacts, building teams by bringing in the right type of players for them.

So I heard. Highly unlikely we’d have won out over Derby.

You’re absolutely right. The behind the goal cam shows it well that defender would have blocked it if he went low so it was the one place he could hit it and the percentages were in his favour. Really well done.
Was a great save by Blackman too in fairness to him. He was copping it from the Vale fans all second half.
And someone on here said he almost put it over the bar just so they could say something negative about it 🤣 it’s a good finish with a defender sliding in.

Summer transfer rumours and speculation
in Port Vale present
Posted
I wasn’t replying to you about Clarke, I quoted another post not yours.
So you think Chislett is deserving of a place despite not doing anything this year? I don’t.
Shorrock is nowhere near ready yet IMO. Plant has had no impact.
