    Even tho a pie is one of our national dishes, what we accept for pies emoji3050.png is generally pretty dismal emoji106.png

    Definitely need to sort out 'Piegate' and 'The Great Pie Debacle of 2023-24'.

    Two decades of under investment? I’d say it’s closer to five but you’re spot on about VP being a money pit.

    In an ideal world we should move to a new build stadium with a 12k capacity similar to Rotherham. If our our useless City council got involved, it could also become a proper ‘community stadium’. 

    Or do what the Milan clubs do?🪖🤪🤪🤪

    @Dipepa delight stop quoting your own damn posts ffs unless you've got something to add, it's annoying. 

    I'm really at a loss with this result right now. Trying to figure out what is the way forward because I'd be rollicking the players for that second half. 

    I just fear we'll hear lots of crap like 'if we play like we did first half, we will stay up'

    I reckon, if we play like that, we'll stay up. Just kidding!

    Seriously, I need someone to explain that game. How the swing from us being decent to so poor and vice versa. However, the swing in quality the second half was bigger than the first. I.e. they were better in the second half than we were in the first and we were worse second half than they were first.

    Second half, Sang looked like he'd never played football before.

    To be honest I hate that defeatist phrase 

    We ain't good enough I've read, heard it, and seen it for years, yet I've also seen Vale teams of yesteryear who were clearly at times not good enough have more of a go than what we did Wed .

    As one if those who attended I was shocked by how much of a attitude, desire application ,quality ,gulf there was between the teams yet did that years ago when say Arsenal the unbeatables come to Vale Park clearly they had better players but had to take Allen Tankard and one other missing penalties to beat uswe went about them to get a 0-0 and 1-1 draws.

    It was all so utterly pitiful Wednesday 

    If you accepting of that FINE I aint. 

    SHOW ME A VALE I can be proud of 

    Can feel your frustration but for me that's the reality. We aren't good enough. Not against a potential Championship side. Make all the comparisons you want but we're are not good enough. That's why we are fourth from bottom.

    Moore could have set us up to 'have a go' and attack. I reckon he didn't do that because he thought that we would get even more of a battering. So he set us up to be well organised and as tight as duck derriere. Not pretty. Not attacking. But trying to strangle the life out of the game to stop them scoring. If it had worked, we all would be saying he's a tactical genius.

    A comparison would be how Italy used to play in World Cups 1982 (although they did counter attack) or how set up defensively in the Euro 2000 tournament and got to the final.

    Don't expect him be a miracle worker but what did he do to stop that out ball what kept on putting Lowe/plant in trouble .

    It's gone now it wasn't very good and if tactical mistakes are made last 4 the same results will be the outcomes .

    You get up the pitch you engage in areas where you make teams uncomfortable not let them pass it with all the time in world .

    You don't have to be a football manager /expert to work that out 

    We aren't good enough. Not against Peterborough. Simple.

    He didn't many options tactically.

    Pack the park. Haha. Come on mate. There won't be 6,000 there such is the absolute shower on show. All the cheering, clapping and shouting in the world won't turn this bunch into decent footballers anyway.

    Moore will no doubt manage to select a starting 11 absolutely nobody else would pick.

    We're down and have been for many weeks. Accept it and look forward to (hopefully) a rebuild.

    Do think that us, Burton and Cheltenham are pretty much on par: p155 poor.

    So, we do have a chance.

    Would you if manager of Vale set us up to not even have a go knowing that attack is always the best form of defence and if played 3 up front high press surely there easy way out of passing it it 40 yards would not have being effective and it was laughable how that Burrows was allowed to charge forwards with no one tracking him .

    Moore has let the club down last night .

    The deflected first goal is laughable surely Ripley says leave it but with falling out with Smith on the field he decides head it away from Ripley .

    Brilliant (sarcism).

    From that moment game over  .

    Moore had no idea how change it neither did he send them out with any passion .

     

    We don't have enough quality to go toe-to-toe with Peterborough, as well as that, we don't have very good balance in team: some round pegs in square holes.

    Don't think Moore had that many options available: he's not a miracle worker but that's what we needed from him last night if we were to win. He tried the lesser of the evils in trying to keep them out. But it didn't work.

    I expect a number of changes for Saturday. Don't think we go 'gung ho' but expect a couple more attacking options.

    The frightening aspect of that side is Conor Grant. 
    A bloke who can’t run, gets put left wing back, against a full strength Peterborough team full of pace.

    God help him. 

    To be fair, I don't think he/we will need to worry about his pace as we'll be camped out in our own area for most of the game.

    lowe smith yak 

    plant Ojo Walters Grant 

    garrity 

    loft Massey I can see that working in regards to keeping them out then we’ve got the likes of chiz, dipepa, Uche & weir to come on & add a bit more pace & power when tired legs 

    Agree that it seems like a side to try and 'keep them out' BUT we have to try and 'get out' - we've got to have those options. It also gives them something to think about.

    We'll see.
