    Barrow have better players than us.

    Barrow have a better manager than us.

    11 on 11 tomorrow, Barrow would beat us.

    We should be in for the likes of Cole Stockton.

    Our “philosophy” is well and good and will probably make money. 
    The academy products. Sold. And others will go. Money.

    Crosby. His style of play. Never ever ever will change. Tweeked but will always stay a constant. Like it or lump it.

    Flitcroft. Earns money for Carol? He stays.

    All I needed in my life today to know where the club is going is that Alfie Devine interview.

    Its football manipulation.

    Every question is thought out.

    Every question will have been fed to Alfie.

    Every question is now out there in social media to say to the suits at clubs higher than us that we are a good club.

    You may as well have held Alfie down and said say what we want you to say.

    I absolutely loved Alfie being here but if that’s the way football is going then it’s not for me.

    Its so robotic it’s untrue.

    I ask the older generation in here…. Is football fun anymore? Is there real passion? I don’t see it. I honestly don’t see it. All I see is a business. I see Port Vale Football Club as a business. A business where Carol Shanahan wants to make money. Nothing wrong with that. But she doesn’t care. She doesn’t. She cares about money. And she, like any other football club owner will put on a front saying that they care, virtue signaling her silly little scarf, when in reality they don’t! They care about making money. 
     

    And don’t get me wrong, I’d rather have her in charge of the club than Smurthwaite, as one wants to make money whereas the other just wanted to steal money but wouldn’t it be lovely to take the politics out of everything.

    I don’t want my club to be “robotic”. That’s what we are and that’s what fans can’t see. A robotic club making money for the owners. I want my club to sign the best players and go and challenge up the leagues. 
    A lot of this season has been <ovf censored>. Let’s not dress that up. But on the field, when Stockport and Wrexham come up next season, maybe Notts County, that’s more clubs surpassing us on the pitch.

    Because when Carlisle, Fleetwood, Reading go down, that’s a lot harder to get points off than the latter mentioned.
     

    The virtue signaling in this club might be ok for a long term plan but the hardcore supporter will just leave whilst the <ovf censored> on the pitch continues. Apart from cracks papered over this last month.

     January 18th. Still no striker. Lost our two best players which weren’t ours in the first place. It’s all a bit of a philosophical mess!

    Modern football fan. Great at spending other people’s money

    My Lard mate said about Rowett and Neill.

    They were dead men walking once the crowd turned against the manager and the gallows humour chants add to that. 

    Not a nice environment. Almost waiting to go a goal down and then it's full on boos and pelters.

    I get the feeling Crosby is reaching that stage however our owners perhaps aren't reading the room .

    The gallows ‘humour’ is something I’ve only heard in the last couple of months(after following Vale since 1989).

    I don’t like it, and would rather the idiots who sing How <ovf censored> must you be, we lose every week would stay away.

    It’s entitled bollox

    Someone joked that all this following of the science is like the covid pandemic/enquiry.  It got me thinking,  it is ver y much like it. The scientists had differing views on what to do at certain times, but all of them were only concerned with controlling the pandemic.  The government had to look at an even bigger picture,  eg  the economy, what the public would accept etc.

    Here we have the sports scientist,  1 might say 45 minutes,  another might say 60 minutes,   their opinion/advice.  They are only concerned with the player and the likelihood that he will break down.  The manager should be looking at the bigger picture of the clubs needs.  

    Obviously the advice should be taken on board certainly,  but it shouldn't be set in stone

    The parallel is perfect.

    Weak leader, given advice which he needs to put into the context of a bigger picture. Hides behind the science, and says the clever boys made me do it

    I don't think I have ever felt so, not depressed but genuinely angry at a result in my life. It was there for the taking. I`ll give it a miss on Saturday, I`ve already got tickets for Middlesbrough and Barnsley. What a Christmas this is going to be.  

    Exactly what I said. It beggars belief that in-game management can be important enough to destroy what was a good performance.

    The team was well set up, with everyone knowing their jobs. He then blows it up by changing Lowe, Ojo and Garrity’s jobs. The result was chaos, and it amazed me that it took Stevenage so long to equalize.

    i understand that you have to manage fitness levels, but I firmly believe we have an inept manager, who is hiding behind ‘the science’.

    Would the managers wage be included in the squad regarding the Financial fair play? If not, then Coates could offer £1 million a week, and Graham might have a decision to make.

    Or maybe Graham has more pride than you realise!

    I would have thought that any Vale fan with any history tied to the club would attend this game. The first quarter final of the league cup in our history. It's a big thing, even if the prize money is poor in relation. I'll be there.

    There are 3 games before this. Crosby and his squad have plenty of time to convince more people to come, but it will take one or two decent results/performances
