Article on the OS mentions the midfield being "decimated" due to Arblaster leaving, and injuries to Ojo and now Garrity.
Seems a decent signing.

"Hey Graham, John Coates calling. I must say your experience is fantastic - you've managed two clubs in the Premier League and took one of those to the quarter-finals of the Champions League, how do you fancy taking over a club fifth bottom of the Championship? Graham? Graham? Are you still there..."
Surely that's just lazy journalism given his surname?

Been told on good authority that the work flickers authorised on the training pitchs has left the training pitch unusable and that the players aren't training atm as they have nowhere to train. Also been told that when flickers denied his construction company has done any work thats been carried out that was a lie and it has. Been also told that carol is running out of cash and its hardly at the club anymore. I know ill get <ovf censored> for this post but just what ive been told .
Could they not train on the matchday pitch if absolutely necessary?
Or get them down Hanley park or Newcastle Town or something...

Oh dear.
Now hear me out... I have only been an armchair fan so far this season due to living in Birmingham, and significant changes in my personal circumstances significantly reducing my free time to get to VP.
The Boro game will be the first game I've been able to go to, realistically.
I've been keeping tabs on things via OVF this season on and off, especially given the horrendous run of results lately.
Something that I've been wondering, and I am sure that those of you who go regularly can address, is at the start of the season, many were really encouraged by the fact that we'd signed some big units at the back to make us more solid defensively, as well as Ripley. From what I can tell, it seems Ripley is the only positive out of this, plus perhaps Debrah, based on what people have been saying about recent performances.
Is it a case that these big lads have the turning circle of that ship that got stuck in the Suez Canal, or is it more a case that they are gentle giants, or both? I'm thinking Iacovitti, etc.
The striker issue worried me at the start of the season, and that has been bearing fruit of late, even with the addition of Uche, who I remembered as being decent in his first spell with us, but perhaps that was rose tinted spectacles. It does stagger me that a professional athlete can be weeks away from fitness when they've not been playing, which was something he said in a post-match interview a few games ago: surely they'd be out running all the time to get/keep fit? I appreciate match sharpness is perhaps something you only get from playing matches.
I did feel a slight bit of positivity when we went 2-0 up, and I could have fainted at that point in time, as I couldn't believe we'd managed to score 2. Something told me we would end up messing it up, as I've been going to the Vale too long not to think otherwise, Swindon and Wembley aside, perhaps.

Proper shi*house! Been a great signing to be fair
I think without him we'd be even further in the brown and nasty. One positive for this season, for sure.

Utter delusion at the top. We have two clowns making the big decisions at the football club and a lady who too easily has the wool pulled over her eyes running it.
A laughing stock.
I still think it was an absolute masterstroke from DF to talk himself into the DoF role when he originally came for the manager's job: the bloke has made himself golden in Carol's eyes it would seem

Logged on at 18:00 and got my tickets by 18:07... slight wobble when the payment page crashed and my card's app said I had paid, but got the confirmation email and all good.
Looking forward to a bouncing VP!
