It’s too simplistic to run through the signings like that in my view. You have to take into account the status at the club i.e 1st team , backup squad player/development. Clearly It’s the senior pros signed which is the major issue. Massey, Grant, Lowe, Loft, Uche, Wilson, Taylor they are all poor signings to date, not to mention a 3 year deal for a senior 32/33 year old vice captain who downs tools when the going got tough last year and had repeated the trick this season. Massey,Grant,Loft 2 year deals!! Sackable offense on its own.

Make sure your bacon's cooked😂

I won't lie mate, if we don't win tomorrow I probably won't have a dry eye. End of the road.

Fair point about attendances.

No I won't be saying you're not a proper fan or any of that kind of nonsense because it's up everyone to decide how they spend their own money. We've all wasted it this season, fans and owners. I'd describe watching us as a war of attrition, thats what the players have done to us this season but if you love the club, you have the time and money to go Tuesday this is the time to show it. Its not the Wembley game, its not the playoff semi finals, its not Man City away, its not Middlesboro in the cup, its not Sheff Wed away, its not Derby away, its tomorrow at Vale Park. The future funding of the club for the next 3 years depends on tomorrow. As Rob Page used to preach.... one more round.

Talking about the fans or the players? If they can't be arsed then why should we? The confidence is absolutely shot, players are hiding from the ball its really obvious to see however 1 result changes that. It HAS TO BE TOMORROW or we will be down. Now is not the time to throw the towel in.

It's a good point mate. My logic is Sang to play higher up the pitch from his RB position meaning we will need the cover. We really can't afford to lose a goal. We've seen so many times it just knocks the stuffing out of us, heads drop and we accept defeat because we don't create enough chances. I'd rather be tight and rely on set-pieces where we''ve looked much better in the 3 games, another reason why I want Grant in the team. If its still 0-0 in the last 25 mins then thats the time to go for it with Wilo in the last 25 mins.

Why waste your time? Because our league status and financing of the club for the next 3 years depends on tomorrow. Snap out of it and get down Vale Park.

I really feel for her to be honest. She's ploughed literally millions into the club, heart and soul, entrusted Flitcroft with the football side and she's been badly let down by his mismanagement. I keep coming back to it but the senior players he has signed ( except Garrity) have been a disgrace to the profession. The players and the families have been well looked after by Carol and this is the thanks she has had.

Do or die tomorrow and on that basis I would urge all fans get down to support the team for one last time before all hope is gone. If it was up to me I would make a few changes from Saturday. Sang is our player most likely to create a chance with some lovely deliveries into the box so we need to get him higher up the pitch and I always feel we do better when him and Massey link up together. Putting Grant in CM I would hope he can help us to control the midfield better. Last chance saloon for a lot of these lads. My team would be: Ripley Sang Lapota Debrah Yak Ojo Grant Massey Garrity Mighten Loft

All good however the plan gets blown up because this years playing budget has been squandered on poor senior pros and not addressing glaring needs in a squad for 2 transfer windows. Look at the potential of L1 next season and the revenue opportunities . Stoke,Sheffield Wed,Stockport,Crewe,Wrexham. Bare minimum 1 million financial black hole which will have very serious consequences for all of your points and probably some job losses.

He’s got to see what he has. I would had him on the bench yesterday but we don’t know the ins and outs. I hope he’s seen enough of Lowe now!!

Carol just blabbering emotionally after a game where we all just say it’s <ovf censored> <ovf censored>. Don’t listen or pay attention to anything immediately after a game . You and I have the benefit of knowing these players on a match day. The manager does not. He’s getting to know. Tuesday do or die no doubt.

No crap squad. Any subs we make are going to make us weaker. Mighten injured which is why he was subbed. Lopata took a knock so would be more cautionary and to be fair Debrah played well at Reading and deserved to keep his place. Clueless is a DoF who waited to act.

<ovf censored> me have you been watching this group of jelly this season? 1st game in charge 2-1 up 30 minutes to go against a team below and our squad of jelly collapsed. 2nd game. Formation changed we looked better for it overall. A wonder strike then our squad of jelly return to type. 3rd game. THE CAPTAIN literally hands an open goal to the opposition and the squad of jelly shat themselves. Very few players wanted the ball. What is Darren Moore supposed to do with a group of senior players where the CAPTAIN has had probably the worse season of his professional career, the vice captain is sulking. The senior players signed by Flitcroft since we were promoted are ability wise <ovf censored>, physically and mentally weak. But yes it must be Darren Moore’s fault for the formation and training.

Well the caption of the video says it all.

Sorry.

No Doha. This was at another forum July 2022 when we had the club strategy presented. I remember they had 4 or 5 slides.

To be clear if anyone is in doubt….. At the very 1st fans forum we had 1 slide shown and it said….. Our strategy ‘We are a recruitment led club’ Who is in charge of football recruitment?

The poster linked Matt as CEO to our troubles. It’s a ridiculous link.I didn’t realise he did all of the recruitment strategy, tactics, the manager and managing the playing budget.

The day after…our senior leaders in the dressing room need to hang their heads in shame. Captain and Vice Captain demonstrate over and over again they are not leaders. Our other pros Grant, Massey ,Lowe, Wilson aren’t stepping up to the plate either. I’d take the captaincy away from Smith and give it Ripley. In Darren Moores short space of time what I have noticed is we push up the pitch much quicker and we definitely look more threatening from corners. The manager has his work cut. On to do it die Tuesday. Win or bust.

Four!!!! Thats a wild swing and a miss.

Cheque writer.

That’s what Moore said prior to the game. No idea what the injury or length of time out. With a bit if luck it’s more precautionary and he’s let loose on Fleetwood.

Mighten’s the key for me. Only player with a bit of pace and direct running in the squad.
