Bimbleabout

As we've seen we struggle against teams that play a high press, high intensity against us. We also struggle against physically dominant sides. We don't seem to react quick enough to change things up if we aren't coping. What formations and tactics should be our counter when we are faced with these?

Not great, but I'll Rob a point all day long heheh We are going to have these games. Mansfield deserved a point, or too win. We didn't! This was always a potential hiccup imo and nearly was Put it behind us and let's go Saturday.

Did what we had to do that half. We are lacking composure tho it's all to frantic! Sublime free kick from Tom [emoji108] And Lucas take a bow son [emoji23] Looking forward t the second half it will be a cracker. UTV

There's a difference between constructive criticism and analysis, over knee jerk reaction and putting the offender in the stocks to have tomatoes pelted at him [emoji534][emoji23]

Spot on. It's one of them, if he appears 'anonymous' during a game, he's doing his job,and doing it well. That's what he's there for.

Well played lads and nice one DC for changing formation and the subs. Obviously swung the game for us. The game was a bit like game of thrones!! So refreshing to have a manager confident and able to make the proper changes when needed. UTV

At the moment I can't see us winning this. Two sides playing the same formation is pretty much nullifying both teams. A moment of brilliance or a mistake will win it. The foul for the free kick was a foul and ridiculous to challenge like that and give the free kick away Covalon should have saved it. Simple as that. Two mistakes led to the goal. Has Covalon actually made a save this season? Maybe one or two, but he's also cost us alot of goals. Come on Vale!!

Last two quotes are spot n. Nice one guys

Should of shut up shop at 3/2 and made defensive subs. The formation was changed to 442 but the wrong subs imo. A terribly unlucky day tbf but its football and one of those things. I just hope, with the amount of goals we've been leaking, that we don't generally go back to a more defensive set up. I don't think we will as 5 of those 6 goals have been very flukey, deflections, own goal, ref decisions etc etc Our second half performances of the last two games haven't been great. We seem to sit back and just let them come at us and then the enviable happens. Looking forward to the next game to see the tweaks DC et all will make. We are 70% there I reackon . Atm it looks like our second half and defence is pivotal to our season.

Ref was an absolute tool. Worst for a long while

Ref was an absolute tool. Worst for a long while

Never felt confident for us after their first goal. We didn't get going apart from the first 30 mins. Second half was like last week, just losing the ball, giving it away and wave after wave of Sutton pushing us. Ref was beyond awful. But if your 2/0 up and lose the game its not the refs fault. It's the teams. Gutted, but not good enough. 6 goals conceded in two games is appalling lol Come on Vale!!

Second tweet is definitely a troll/fake account put up to cause more trouble.

Er get in!!! First half superb and should have been 2/3 up. Second half they steamrollered us. I was surprised we made no changes to counter the steam rollering. But what do I know? 2 individual errors cost us the Leyton goals. First goal Lucas had it covered but the deflection did him. Second goal Tom was at fault. We all thought that was that!! The last 5 mins!!! Get in!! I didn't think I could love Vale anymore but to see Vale Park like that and the never give up attitude from this team has sent it through the roof today. We are Vale [emoji123][emoji4][emoji120]

A frustrating and horrible game. From the sublime to the ridiculous. We looked very disjointed today with too many players having an 'off' day. Conceded 6 in 2. That's abysmal. The defending for their 3rd was just ludicrous. Come on Vale we are better than that. Sort it out.
