The man in the pub

Lofty scores, we are on the pitch

Unfortunately as a striker its primarily what you are judged on. Think he is playing way above his level. Needs to drop down several leagues where he will get more chances per game and hopefully for him might then score the odd goal.

Is this realistically the last chance in the last chance saloon? Surely if we dont win today then any faint glimmer of hope is extinguished.

Its a difficult task picking the players. Is there currently such a thing as a strong Vale side? Just listening to Sproey on the radio , he reckons this is our best side from what is available.

Decent players ? Even better, we sign Phenomenal ones.

The only thing we are likely to win this season.

Hopefully PV if I heard them as I walked passed the old Goose Pub they still heard them inside the Vale Hospitality areas.

Allegedly our Management team are big fans of analysing Stats. Wonder what they make of this one ? 1. Phenomenal 2. The Players wives say everything will be OK 3. Maybe , just Maybe all those fans calling for Flitcroft out might just know what they are talking about.

Yes top of the League is OK but what about the really important thing ? whats the pitch like ? Who would want to go watch a Top of the League side playing on a rubbish pitch. Much prefer watching a rubbish , bottom of the League side play on a wonderful pitch. Appeals to my aesthetics. Oh by the way I also think our DoF is doing a great job. Anyway must dash as I have a fitting for my strait jacket.

Nothing to worry about , Flickers is already chasing another striker to play alongside Lofty. League 2 defences are already quaking in their boots.

We have had several "must win " games recently. If we have any chance of avoiding relegation, however slim that chance is, then the revival has to start this Saturday with a win. Anything less and I think the fanbase will know we are doomed.

Thank you, great post. Explains much more and in an honest and direct format than the official communique did.

I think the best we fans can hope for is that our DoF gets his duties re assigned, Sanitary facilitator perhaps ?. He has made himself seemingly indispensable to the powers that be so he isnt going to get the boot not from my reading of Carols letter to the fans.

To be honest Rob the Joint Statement didnt give much away.

Hopefully items1,2,3 and 4 on the agenda.

Full time Plumber

Boomer has been consistent.

Yes Ive booked him for my Grandkids birthday party. Hes got a great yellow novelty car and does wonderful things with balloons.

Why should he apparently he is doing a great job. Even the Vale fans are singing his name.

Dont worry Doha we can outscore these, we have goal scorers spread across the team. We arent just reliant on strikers to score.

How can Derby be playing good football on such a rubbish pitch. If only they had a decent pitch they could be as good as us ,,,, oh yeh

A sad indictment of how bad we are even Gayle has just scored.

And worryingly the guy who is responsible for this apparently is doing a great job and according to Carol our players are phenomenal.

Loft is in a position where he is getting abuse but can put a stop to it almost immediately by doing his job and start scoring goals. He may also be able to stop the abuse by cancelling his contract and going to play elsewhere, however not sure if that is legally possible. Lets be honest forget us even wanting to recoup his transfer fee where would he go , who having come and watched him would take him, obviously apart from our wonderful recruitment team. Not sure what salary he is on but he wouldnt get anything near it surely if he went elsewhere so he will stay. As regards sympathy towards him I suppose I view it like joining a new company like most on here have done. There has usually been a 3 month trial period and come the end of it you are either kept on or released. If I had been this bad at my chosen profession I know I would be heading for the out door.

Listening to Crewho at Stockport County , winning 3-1 . If they win its a great result . Looks like they could be coming up.
