The Peterborough owner and chairman, Darragh MacAnthony, has had >>18 years<< to develop their club, and has done an excellent job.
Their scouting set-up is brilliant (and I hope the model for the setup that I'm sure Vale are trying to build) and has earned them a lot of money in the transfer market, as well as filling their team with the quality they showed tonight.Darragh MacAnthony has also poured in £millions of his own money into the club.
Peterborough are paying out nearly £5 million a year in wages despite only averaging around 9,000 gates.
And still Peterborough have spent about half of the last 18 years in League 1, having repeatedly yoyoed back down from the Championship.
To state the obvious, it's extremely difficult to run a successful football club.Carol has already achieved some excellent progress with the Vale, notably with the new and excellent management team she has put in place at significant cost.
And Carol has once again shown her financial commitment with an promising new signing as the club begin to build for next season.
Although it's hard to do, especially after a painful night like tonight, the Vale fans need to be patient and positive - the club is going in the right direction however the rest of this season pans out.
And anyway we still have every chance to start next season in League 1.
Come on Vale.Who's the promising signing ?
You don't mean the left back who has played 100 games in a decade ?

Not really bothered if we lose to the big teams. If we win or draw it's nice but have to perform against the teams at mid table and down at the bottom
Can't afford to say that.
We have 4 games left. Yes 4.
If we write Bolton off as we did tonight it's an utter disgrace on the travelling away support.

Looks like the Peterborough defence will each get their £500 bonus for keeping a clean sheet. Easy money, two of them could have worked from home.
Ain't scored against them in last 4 games. Won at a canter.

Just glad these are knackered and hungover from Sunday.

So far in 11 games against the top 6 we have achieved 9 nils.

It's a good job Stevenage will beat Burton on Saturday
We simply have to get 6 points before Bolton thrape us.
Having not scored for 270 minutes I'm very concerned 🙃.

Have been fearing for some time that our GD was going to be an albatross around our necks!
In reality never recovered from Barnsley.
Even when we were 5-1-1 we were minus 3 goal difference.

I actually feel for him. It’s easy to slag him off and give him abuse. I highly doubt he wants to play crap and cost the team like he has tonight.
Also gave the ball away for the killer first goal at Cobblers.

Smith and Ripley were having a ding dong with each other a few minutes ago.
Now a penalty for Posh. Come on Ripley = one of your penalty saves would be good.
Hasn't saved one since September at Cambridge.
Saved his first two and since let umpteen in.

I wouldn’t go so far to say that he burst on to the scene.
For me none of the kids have been consistent enough or arguably good enough to keep starting regularly. That’s purely because of their age and inexperience. It’s more a dig at our overall recruitment as to why that’s happened.
He did. Wasn't he in the last 4 games last season and scored twice ? Made full debut at Ipswich.
Might be wrong.

Can't believe they are giving Plant any training on defending because he is absolutely useless at it. Mind you they've done their homework playing 2 wingers. Can we declare at half time.
Plant for me , WAS an attacking player with an eye for goal when he burst onto the first team picture.
Crosby in his wisdom played him as a wing back. Moore followed suit.
Again purely recruitment issue as we have no decent wing backs.

Oh well.
Disastrous time to concede but totally deserved.
Not sure what we try and achieve now ?

To be fair, I don't think he/we will need to worry about his pace as we'll be camped out in our own area for most of the game.
Perhaps he's on for his dead ball expertise and free kick prowess that we all read about when he signed?

Other than Garrity the most likely other scorer in that team is Smith !
Talk about a barren line up.
Come on Vale an heroic rearguard action needed.

I can only assume there’s some sort of tactical logic behind this to nullify them.Lowe worries me anyway but with their pace he terrifies me.

Vale have just signed a left-back named Deklan Wynne who is 29 and a Kiwi . We could certainly do with a win .
We were after his brother . Connor.
