Good point.

I just wish we would start signing new players. Happy with a couple of loans but wouldn’t want any more than that.

How can any of these compare to Carol. She is a great owner and we are so lucky to have her. I just don’t know why you would even make that comparison

Just so gutted that we have fallen at the final hurdle. Such a shame but if we don’t go up then we just need to swallow the bitter pill that we weren’t quiet good / lucky enough over the season.

Completely agree. They deserve our support not our criticism for the way that they have dragged this club up from how it’s been run since 2000.

Yes but that was to Dubai TV network, not mainstream TV. As a result we only received a small TV fee.

Were we? I don’t remember it being a featured game at all?

When we played Man City away we weren’t on TV so I have a strong feeling this one will make it on the TV this time around.

Honestly though we are playing a Premier League side at home with a good chance of an upset. If we were away to them then I would sort of agree, however we are not and we may have got Chesterfield away and then got knocked out. we just need to be thankful that it’s a premier league side and not a championship side. we have to believe we can do it and vale fans will know that we have at least a chance of getting to round 4.

Ha, yes agreed. Egg on face. to be honest though I don’t think anyone saw this coming. Denis did what he does best and changed the game with his direct running and pace. Honestly probably the team in a long while, as we have threat from the bench and strength in depth. Hopefully we can get another forward in before the third round game in January. With hopefully a big premier league tie in the offering we may get someone decent.

Monday isn’t it?

The squad is so much better than last season. Genuine strength and depth even when we have a mini injury crisis.

Proven wrong. What an amazing 10 minute spell

🤣

We just don’t have the firepower to power back unfortunately. Obviously goes without saying I hope I’m wrong but Burton are a decent League One side.

That wasn’t me and this is a different game. disappointing but promotion this season is far more important.

Game over unfortunately.

Really disappointed half. Haven’t seen us play like that in a very long time.

No crack cocaine, but got away with it.

We are on the ropes and not sure of Lloyd is the one going to grab us a goal. Having said that the whole team is struggling tonight……really hope we don’t concede before half time.

Onadi Lowe?

Garity looks a great signing. No where near the finished article.

Good news we have just brought George Lloyd on.

You seem to attack me every time I post? Not really sure why? I’m not attacking the lad but expressing concern with how this signing will increase our goal attacking threat? Surely I’m allowed to do that aren’t I? I would personally have gone with a Billy Paynter type (or Tom Pope) type player. So someone from a lower league who we can develop or loan a more physical youth player. If Proctor gets injured then we lose that target man. If Lloyd does well then we will just be developing another teams player, that is unless we are able to sign him at the end of his contract next year. it’s just my opinion (and doesn’t mean it is right) but it feels like you clearly have a far superior view to that of my own.

So you're prepared to give him 1 game before withdrawal of your support is justified? Nowt like Vale fans I never said that at all. I just said let’s see how he fairs in a Vale shirt first, which could be as soon as tonight. Even if he plays tonight then you can’t judge a player in trophy games as they’re not a true reflection of the league. more than willing to give the lad more time and games to prove himself as it will likely take a month or two before we see how he is getting on.
