Tom Pope had also scored over 80 goals at the age of 29. Uche isn’t near that.
And if you believe the narrative, Uche was being paid 4500 quid a week this season.I see nothing in that donkeys game that says he worthy of a wage in any professional football league.

Even if he had double the amount of goals, and scored twice, I still wouldnt want him because he cant play a full 90 minutes. There’s no excuse for that. It’s your job. Id also question what the management team was doing allowing that. Im constantly hearing people claim that ‘we cant blame Moore because even pep couldnt get a tune out of these players’, but ill tell you for sure, pep wouldnt be having someone with uches fitness anywhere near his squad, no matter what level he was managing at.
34 minutes ago, Spunk Trumpet said:Quality. Correct.
A league lower you do need a lot of determination and heart.
Bar 3 or 4, this squad is devoid of any fight whatsoever.31 minutes ago, Spunk Trumpet said:Spot on.
Hes an 18 stone lump who can’t play football and can’t stay fit.
Fans laughed at Akinfenwa. Now he was a beast who could play football and for 90 minutes at that! Even towards the end of his career.
Uche is a joke of an “athlete”.
Correct! Correct! Correct! and Correct!
Uche is simply not good enough. Especially, if we have any aspirations of promotion.

And with this many retained, the squad remains imbalanced.
Unless we play with no full backs, wing backs or any decent fit strikers.
Maybe we could try the 155 formation:
Ripley
Cass. Jesse Smith. Yak. Jones
Plant Chiss Ojo Garrity Grant
Draw every game 0-0. Bore fest.
46 points. Would have seen us safe! Jobs a gudun.

I wonder how many on the retained list can play 30 games plus? There lays the problem! If you are going to get promoted you need a good core of players on thirty games plus.

As a club, they must see that they have to make significant changes to this squad. Not just the obvious: bring in better players BUT also to improve the mental resilience of the team/squad as a whole.
Carol will have to get the cheque book out and get some gone. Otherwise, we're might be in the sh1t3.

Uche is a completely unique player who has spent the last few years playing 30+ games a season in the Championship. He’ll never be prolific but he offers a physical profile we simply won’t find anywhere else.
Uche was sh1t3 Saturday. Come to think of it..............

Retained list as of today is just a 'snap shot' in time. It's just something that we've had to release.
Doesn't (and can't at this time) tell us what will happen with 'retained' players being released or moved on.
Am sure some will move on. Just takes time.

Cheers chaps! Kept trying and managed to get one.

Anyone managed to gets tickets for this?

Seemed a lovely lad and great player! Wish him all the best. Nice to see him at the Vale v Wycombe game last Tuesday!

Ojo (as long as he wants to stay and fight)
Chis
Garrity
Wilson (would love to think we could retain a fully fit, not injury prone Wilson - BUT probably not)
Young Lads:
Walters
Dipepa
Shorrock

Happy relegation day.
You poor fuckers who are going and wasting your money on the worst Vale team in generations, should be wearing black suits.
First away game of the season we got done 7. Last away game of the season might just beat it.
Id like to thank Andy Crosby for his dull tippy tappy, nicey nice crap football.
A big shout out to Carol Shanahan who puts all her energy into Port Vale Community Centre.
And let’s not forget the scumbag that is David Flitcroft. Who managed to assemble the worst, most pathetic, most effortless squad in Port Vales history, over the course of three glorious transfer windows, and got away with it.Go out there lads and show your worth. And may most of you be <ovf censored> off out of this club next season you absolute bunch of bottle job no hopers.
Come on now Spunkers! Tell us what you really think!

A word of advice to stay away from social media when relegation is confirmed. We’ll rightly get pelters and it’s wholly unedifying to engage.
We are all grown men/women and please act like that when we’re relegated. Try not to make a holy show of yourself.
Agree but no bragging rights in Stoke on Trent this season, that's for sure!

Dear Darren,
Please can we sign players to fill those positions that we are weak in? Also, please can we play our players in their favoured or strongest position?
It appears that lots of other teams do this and to me seems a great idea, although David didn't seem to think that it was important.
What do you think?
I look forward to your summer shufflings, as well as our team winning a few games in League 2.
Yours sincerely,
Diego

Even though I reckon a good few of our players will be able to hold their own next season, some (Garrity, Chissy, Ripley) even top end of League 2. However, I do think that we need to break up parts of the squad in order to break up the lack of mental strength.
No blood, new quality and a new belief.

This is a great idea.
However, we have numerous fans forums where these concerns were made.
Did Carol not listen to them back if she wasn't in attendance?
Thought that but, for me, it should be a smaller event with no BS. Just her and A. N. Other and just a handful of regular fans.
Think it would possibly go 'some' way to help to heal the relationship between club and supports as well, as long as 'some details' from the discussions are published.
-
If I was Carol, next season, I would meet with a small number of fans (stakeholders of the club) once a month or whatever to gage fans' opinion, concerns etc. behind closed doors.
In all seriousness, although people on here might disagree with one another, it's clear to me that people on here see the issues (e.g. Flitcroft, lack of striker etc.) so early on that Carol could do with hearing these thoughts and opinions as early as possible. It would be then up to her but at least it would improve communication between club and fans.
As IMO she has been hearing a load a boswollocks from Flitcroft who was found out but it took too many transfer windows.

Sang & Grant haven’t been played in midfield once so that list prob goes down to 4. For league 2 that would be more than capable in my eyes
But what do we reckon if we did play them all as midfielders? For me, depth would be pretty decent for League 2.
-
Midfield players IMO don't look too bad as long as we play them in midfield:
Chis
Garrity
Ojo
Grant
Sang
Walters
Although, appreciate some could go BUT depth doesn't look bad.
Thoughts????

I'd also guess at least one of Garrity and Chislett will be sold as 10+ goals in a poor side from midfield won't be sniffed at by some.
Agree. Certainly going to be a challenge keeping hold of these 2. And, even though Ojo has done my head in a bit recently, when his head's on, he's decent.
I reckon Ojo, Garrity and Chissy is a decent midfield 3 in league 2. For me, better than what we went up with.
Just the small matter of the defence and attack.
Hoping Auntie Carol is going splash some cash, as well as clearing out some sh1t3.

March 2022 v Mansfield last home league win midweek.
Think I'm right that last midweek league win was Salford April 2022. The Charsley winner.
Stand to be corrected.
Wow! Takes some doing that!

I always had the impression that he didn't really want to come here in the first place, that it was something Man U wanted rather than it being his choice. Played just over half a match, got injured (?) , looked out of his depth as Santa said, and probably didn't fancy a physical relegation battle when (if) he regained his fitness. Certainly not what we needed to replace Arblaster/Devine.
Splitting hairs but sure he went off in the first half after having a complete 'mare'. Never to be seen again. Waste of time, money and effort!
New kit for next season?

Yeah! But plain and no nonsense on it!.
