  1. On the face of it, last summer's recruitment seemed decent, and a slight improvement on last year's squad. However, when you dissect each signing and what they've achieved, as shown above, it was terrible. Hindsight is a wonderful thing, I suppose.
  2. A much needed, well earned point tonight. Thought Dipepa looked really bright. It’s tough watching Sang & Jones - I do genuinely think two ‘proper’ full-backs make such a difference to that team tonight. I can’t help but feel so frustrated looking at the table tonight. We are only six points off the teams in 18-20 - if only we’d held on against Fleetwood & picked up another point or two elsewhere.
  3. Done. Carol and Flickers, <ovf censored> do one.
  4. What a superb acquisition Lowe has been...
  5. Where do we even go from here? I’m still absolutely seething. What a spineless bunch of <ovf censored> we have got. Moore has to take some of the blame. Why on earth did he allow Fleetwood to come out in the second half and absolutely dominate the game? Why on earth did he hang Sang out to dry by not switching it up, as Patterson put in 20+ crosses, albeit not the greatest of quality, but enough to keep the pressure on. I was slightly optimistic this time last week. I think I’d got sucked in by the Moore appointment and thought we’d have enough to do it. Let’s be honest, we must have the most unbalanced squad in the division. We have one recognised full-back in the squad in Mitch Clark, and he’s played 10 league games. THAT IS DISGRACEFUL RECRUITMENT. We have the worst trio of forwards in Wilson, Uche & Loft, who between them have scored five goals, alongside Dipepa who is 17-years-old. THAT IS DISGRACEFUL RECRUITMENT. Just as a comparison to the 16/17 season, when Norman’s sweety jar treated us to a relegation. After 33 games, we were on 35 points, which is three points more than this season. To match the points tally of that season, we would need 17 points from 13 games - not happening. If we go down next season, and League One has the likes of Stoke, Crewe, Derby, Walsall, Burton, Wrexham and Stockport all playing each other, I think my 20+ years of having a season will be ended. Carol & ‘Flickers’ you have got blood on your hands.
  6. Relegation fodder. <ovf censored> off Vale. <ovf censored> off Flitcroft. <ovf censored> off you absolute bottlejobs. Our chance to make up ground tonight with Cheltenham, Burton, Shrewsbury & Cambridge all losing. That second half performance was an absolute disgrace. We’ve been played off our own pitch by Fleetwood Town - just let that sink in. We didn’t even deserve a single point from that game. Bring on League Two. Carol & ‘Flickers’ you’ve only got yourselves to blame. I’m done with this joke of a football club.
  7. I agree. Just to add, Exeter currently have 21 points from their last 15 games, which is 14th in the form table over that period. Before that, Exeter looked down and out, with fans turning against Caldwell. It just shows how a couple of decent results can change the momentum. It is 100% doable. We basically need to turn bottom four form into mid table form to stand any chance of survival.
  8. A strange as it may sound, I am a tad more optimistic after last night following the switch to a back four, Moore’s post-match interview and the return of Garrity, etc. On paper, the final eight home games are winnable. They aren’t against any of the “big boys” in the division - Lincoln, Fleetwood, Shrewsbury, Oxford, Bristol Rovers, Exeter, Cambridge and Wycombe (yet to be rescheduled). If we are to stay up, we need a minimum of 15 points out of the 24 available at home. You then couple that with perhaps five points away from home and that puts us onto 51 points, which would have been enough last season. Let’s be honest, it’s an absolutely massive task. If Moore can pull it off, get that bloody statue up…
  9. I never said he was good. I am just pointing out that he showed a bit of grit and determination, a willingness to get on the ball and cause a bit of bother. As much as I love Willo, he’s been absolutely woeful lately. Then you’ve got the likes of Grant, Massey & Ojo just strolling around the pitch with no care in the world. Just look at Cheltenham. You could argue, on paper, they have a worse squad than ours with not as many “better” individuals, but they make that up in hard work and desire. My point stands, Loft looks arsed and that is more than most of that squad currently.
  10. I’m going to hold my hands up, as I was wrong to criticise a certain player on Saturday - I targeted Ryan Loft, and used him as an easy scapegoat to vent my frustration. He ran his bloody socks off tonight and actually looked arsed. He’s evidently no where near League One standard but at least he’s putting up a fight.
  11. At least we went 75 minutes without conceding a goal… In all seriousness, I think that is us about done for this season. Well done Carol & Flickers!
  12. When did I say I was any better? I pay my hard earned money following the Vale up and down the country, and to be completely honest, I’m sick of watching Ryan Loft run around, chasing shadows, giving the ball away at every opportunity. To be the fair, apart from Garrity, they can all do one. I’ve genuinely had enough. The squad is simply not up to it, but at least show a little bit of fight. Flitcroft will have a lot to answer for when we are playing in front of 4,000 fans at Vale Park every Saturday.
  13. Moore has got an absolutely massive job on his hands. Ryan Loft please f*uck off, you pathetic excuse of a footballer.
  14. Absolutely gutted to see the expected recall of Ollie. In his short stint, he’s perhaps cemented himself as one of the most talented to pull on a Vale shirt. I’ll be surprised if that boy doesn’t pull on an England shirt at some point. Best of luck, Ollie! On the flip side, what a hammer blow for us. He will be sorely missed in that midfield, as he was integral on how we wanted to play. Flitcroft and the recruitment excelled on this one, down to them again to find a suitable replacement - I’d imagine they’ve been looking since the minute we signed him.
  15. Arblaster’s injury is such a sucker punch, as he’s such an integral part of how we want to play. Unfortunately, I feel as if we won’t be seeing Oli in a Vale shirt again. If we don’t, it’s been a pleasure to watch such a talent. On last night, like many others have already said, we showed them far too much respect. As soon as the second went in, it was game over. Crosby, last night and the past three months, has a lot to answer for - it’s simply not good enough.
