  1. Does anyone know if Moore has been a manager without a DOF or similar at any of his previous clubs?
  2. Unfortunately whilst identifying players to sign we didn't entertain the fact we might be signing players for league 2
  3. It's amazing how much more of the game sky show in the highlights when there aren't any Premier league games
  4. The first half was pretty even. The second half I felt we were just about the better team until they brought Hudlin on, who many wanted us to sign, at which point I felt their performance fell off a cliff. Not excusing nor signing a forward but I would take Dipepa over him every time.
  5. I think that to be a strong leader you have to listen to the advice of those around you but ultimately come to your own decision. If that decision ends up being a mistake then you learn from it. I'm sure Carol will have made plenty of decision in the past going against advice that have got her where she is. I'm also sure she will have made decisions in the past, going against advice she was given which she later regretted. If she didn't go with her gut and published the letter she would probably now still be thinking that if she had things may have been different. That her show of faith in flitcroft and the players may have galvanised the squad and got the results we needed. Even worse not going with her gut may have made her second guess every bold decision in the future. Most people who have become incredibly successful in life look back at a point in their life where they had an idea and went with it, when everyone else told them it would never work, as the decision that made them.
  6. Whilst the quality of the Kane statue looks pretty awful the cost of £7200 surprised me when compared to the £100000 cost of the Rudge statue. I believe the cost of the Rudge statue includes the ground work etc to put it into place but the price difference is huge.

  7. I'm not sure it would be wise to have Ripley on the halfway line when defending a corner. [emoji3]
  8. It did make me chuckle (then cry a bit) in Flitcroft's podcast when he was on about PL2 strikers and he stated something like we identified 6 strikers at that level that would score goals at league 1 level and the rest wouldn't. I did wonder when scoring goals at league one became an objective for him when signing strikers.
  9. Carol has made her opinion clear. I think the way people are going about it trying to force her hand will not work. She will either come to her own decision that Flitcroft needs to go, assisted by people close to her whose opinion she values, without being swayed by fans. Or fans trying to force her hand will result in her giving up on the club or perhaps more importantly the fan base. I really hope it is the former. I want Flitcroft gone but I am not arrogant enough to think that I can force her hand.
  10. Of those players only Clarke and Mighten aren't central players (cb, cm or cf) and only Mighten and Thomas have any pace. That for me is the biggest failure for a team that have no full/wing backs or pace in the squad. I really do thinkthat whilst not ideal we may have coped without a striker in Jan if we had just signed some bloody full backs.
  11. I think the thing that finished Thomas off was Loft getting fit. He was featuring from time to time until he played a couple of games with Loft and as a duo they were completely ineffective. We lost a midfielder and never held the ball up up top so lost our ability to dominate possesion.
  12. No one will be buying a ticket as their season ticket holding mates will get it on their behalf at no benefit to themselves.
  13. If we lose by 10 though it would make us a less appealing prospect for a new manager
  14. I think most on this forum would happily make a few bad challenges if it meant that they could play beyond their ability in the top 2 tiers, earning the money that he did.
  15. I think people need to be careful who they are rejecting. I think we are a very unappealing prospect for a manager at the moment. The most unbalanced squad I think we have ever had. I can't see where the next goal will come from let alone win. I have a horrible feeling in my gut that we are going to end up with Westley after everyone we approach says no.
  16. Doesn't look like Harratt is going to learn.
  17. We have a squad which consists of Clarke, Wilson, Loft, Ripley, Leutwiler, Mighten, Plant and Ikpeazu. 3 are injured 1 is rarely fit for more than 10 consecutive games 2 are goalkeepers The remaining squad members are central defenders or central midfielders. Who would want that poison challace?
  18. Or a management meeting to decide what to do about Crosby on Monday morning.
  19. 1st things 1st. Anyone got any idea who's taking charge of the team tomorrow night?
  20. Strange time to get rid. We are not exactly a good prospect at the moment for a manager. Come to Port Vale, you have a squad with no pace, a very limited strike force and no opportunities to sign anyone until the summer.
  21. Regarding Williams maybe an underlying medical problem refers to something like mental health, gambling, alcohol, drugs problems etc. Saying it in the way we have doesn't jeopardize his future career if he manages to sort it out. I have no idea that this is the case but these sort of things could cause major issues with regards to playing but not get picked up in a medical.
