    James Wilson - out for the season

    Football is an emotive and emotional game and long may it continue to be so. Us fans like nothing better than a vigorous "discussion" about the successes, failures, highlights, lowlights and quite literally anything and everything about our and every other club. It's fantastic. 

    For the club itself however, all the emotion has to be put to one side and decisions made on analysis and logic. There must be good people making the right decisions for the right reasons, not the psycho babble we have been subjected to these last few seasons with "trust the process". You would think/hope that behind the scenes pragmatic decisions are being looked at on the basis that we will be in league 2 next season. Hopefully we will by kick off time have a balanced, fit and competitive squad (wouldn't that be nice) for us to get behind. There will inevitably be hard decisions made and players released for a variety of reasons. I personally have very fond memories of Willo scoring at Wembley in the playoff final, but do accept that unfortunately for him his body is letting him down. There will be other fans favourites leaving, but hey ho, maybe balanced by future fans favourites arriving. I wish all those leaving well and welcome the new arrivals to our promotion campaign.

    Who wants to argue that?

    Everyone?

    Fantastic, let's go. 

    Very good post.

    Beyond belief given their injuries that him and Dan Jones ended up being retained .( that's gone well ).

    We are meant to have state of the art analysis and stats. Something went badly wrong. Can't all be on Flitcroft? Why were we signing crocks.

    I feel 3 home wins & a point on the road may just be enough. Home wins are no gimme though our form at Vale park hasn’t been great this season. 

    Anything is a bonus to me. I've resigned myself to it and amazed we still have a chance. 

    I just can't see us winning 4 successive homes including Bristol.

    Match day! Come on Vale 💪🏻 SVA Point minimum required 

    Genuinely think it's ( another must win ). 

    Cheltenham are at home to Carlisle on Tuesday and we go to Posh on Wednesday. 

    I'd take matching their points haul over the next 2 games then we have 3 of the last 4 at Fortress Vale Park ! 

    Need 3 points today and hope Orient do us a favour. The midweek turnaround doesn't look promising ' on paper ' .

    I feel for JW, not just cuz he is a Biddulph lad, but because for whatever reasons, he could go down as one of the great unfulfilled potentials - such a shame for the lad. Personally, I'm not so sure we have seen the last of him. And if the stats on his games are correct, he has been available for far more games than I seem to remember.

    Staying or going, I wish him all the best.

    He's the Vale equivalent of Nick Powell was at Lard.

    An injury prone enigma. Capable of brilliance or being anonymous. Both had the opportunity for better standard of football than they achieved. 

    I'll miss him though. Not often we see gifted footballers up the Vale.

    Think he'll be released ( again). Still probably played twice the amount of games of a certain ' defender ' who still has a year left .

    A very gifted player blighted by injury at Vale but played a big part in us getting promotion and gave us that goal at Derby .

    No thank you.

    Foyle or someone with a similar track record. I don't want Sproson who'll only be interested in pushing his own players or Legge who has 0 experience. We tried the 0 experience route with Flitcroft/Crosby and look where that got us

    How are Toby Edser and Adam Crookes those Forest legends Sproey foisted upon us 🤔.

    I don’t think Moore rates Chislett. He’s been on the bench quite a lot and when selected is always subbed off. Said at half time yesterday it was a crazy sub. Both half time subs made us weaker. 

    100%. Has missed out on selection or subbed off on a few occasions. 

    Whatever people's opinions of him he's our 2nd top scorer behind Garrity.

    Summer transfer rumours and speculation

    in Port Vale present

    Posted

    I know this is about summer but browsing YouTube as I often do I watched 5 mins of Liverpool v Man City U21. Williams absolutely fine and playing week in week out. 

    So our January 2024 loanees 

    Williams. Alleged poor attitude. Sent back. Definitely not injured as Vale press release said.

    Gore. Injured after 60 odd mins. Not seen since. 

    Mighten. Rarely used. Pointless signing. 

    Lopata. As per Mighten. Can't get in one of the worst defences in the division. Pointless signing. 

    Weir. Generally anonymous yet shone in another relegation side in Morecambe last season. Pointless signing. 

    What a sorry sorry bunch of signings.

    I think we all ( include myself here ) got giddy after the two wins.

    People rightly pointing out that Cheltenham and Burton are poor. Well guess what so are we. 

    Only in the realms of fantasy are Vale winning 4 successive home games as a lot of people expect or suggest is possible. 

    We're a really poor outfit. Runs of 11 and 14 without a win in the same season is staggering and I'm not even sure how we're still in the mix.

    Wigan sat Burton got a draw there hope springs eternal if we take our chances and defend properly

    Peterborough Tues there you go the word Tuesday means they be tired .

    We ain't won a league game on Tues for 2 years the only hope I have is that they win the pizza thing and drink themselves silly (posh players think that's this Sun).

    I think then we have Exeter hard game 

    Then Wycombe who if game was played on original day they would have won has it got called off in suspicious circumstances ,oh yeah that's on a Tues aswell oh my going watch Vale under the lights has being so poor for so long you wonder if the players are scared of the dark .

    Bolton away banged 5 in v Reading who beat us 2-0 

    Last away game of season and probably one if not the hardest. 

    Cambridge at home last game generally Vale are absolutely woeful last home game for many seasons 

    Yesterday's giveaway changes everything really needed win that, o to lose it I feel has generally stuck one of the last lives we had in us .

    I sense the worst now yesterday was overall extremely damaging 

    Folk saying we were going for equaliser but you don't concede another when your goal difference is -25 .

    Dreadful -26 

    I never wanted see league 2 again .

    Be really annoyed if we end up back there .

    What percentage of chance do we have .

    Gutted for owners if do go down 

    It's being bar the odd high a shocker of a season .

    Why do Vale fans get punished after just a couple of happy years continually .

    They deserve better 

     

     

    Last league win on a Tuesday,  Salford April 2022. Last home league win on a Tuesday,  Mansfield March 2022.

    Probably played maybe 10 to 15 night games since ?

    Either way it's abysmal.

    I'm trying not to be a killjoy but rather I'm preparing myself for the inevitable. 

    We have won 2 in our last 17 league games. Suddenly people expect us to win 4 homes in a row when we have one of the worst home records in the division. 

    The hope kills you. Can't wait for it to be all over .
