If only we’d done enough to take it to the last game of the season - it would have been a thriller. There’s a good chance we can send Cambridge down!

I’m torn on Ojo. He’s got a fair amount left on his contract, so as JoeB has mentioned, he’ll be hard to shift. In which case, we are left with no option to build the midfield around him. There is a question around his attitude, and rightly so, but you can’t doubt his ability. He’d be brilliant in League Two, around a good group. Ojo, alongside Ripley, Smith, Garrity & Chislett is a decent spine to build around in League Two. No doubt it’ll be an interesting summer…

I can’t help but think that perhaps Mark Kennedy (ex Lincoln) would have been the better option. A bloke who’s worked with smaller budgets, rather than Moore who’s predominantly worked on bigger budgets. Hindsight is a wondering thing, of course. I just can’t help feel disappointed with Moore, and more so disconnected. Hey ho, at least Flickers tied him down for 5-years…

And that’s that, down we go. Another uninspiring Darren Moore interview on BBC, “football has a beautiful side and a cruel side”. I don’t want to <ovf censored> hear that after 1 point in 5 games and relegation all but confirmed. As far as I’m concerned, Moore can do one, as well 95% of them pathetic footballers. I’m absolutely seething. Can’t wait for Saturday…

Spot on! Emotionally battered is a perfect way to sum the general mood amongst a hardcore fan base of 5,000. What an absolute car crash League One has turned out to be.

Build around Garrity and Dipepa - the rest can do one. Absolute toss.

I can’t really add much more to what has already been said. What an absolute calamity of an afternoon- we deserve relegation. If we’d have won today, not only would we have edged away from Cheltenham, as well as kept up with Burton, but we would have closed the gap on Shrewsbury (same GD) & Cambridge (last home game of the season) to just three points with three games left. Darren Moore hang your head in shame, that was the most shocking half of football I’ve seen at Vale. I’m genuinely shocked there isn’t more criticism in his direction at the minute. Absolutely pissed off this evening…

I thought we were pretty poor today, but I would have happily took 6 points from the last 9 available. As many have already stated, our home games will be pivotal. It’s simple really, win all three and I think that may be enough.

I’ve been really impressed with Dipepa over the past couple of months, and has really progressed since his first start against Fleetwood. If you are a Premier League club who can throw about money, you’d be mad to not take a punt on a homegrown youngster who’s banging the goals in.

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.

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.

Done. Carol and Flickers, <ovf censored> do one.

What a superb acquisition Lowe has been...

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.

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.
