Totally agree. Whoever comes has to play in their specialist positions. If we're playing 3 at the back 2 wingbacks who can defend. Otherwise a back 4 with 2 proper full backs. 2 strikers not makeshift ones. Given those still under contract if we can't get rid then it has to be 442. If Chislet goes I wouldn't object to Sang playing his role because he can't defend but has some ability I'm dreading how this is going to go I'm sorry but I've lost faith in the process.

Just seen Harry Redknap has managed the worst team in England and got them off the bottom. Thank god they didn't announce who it was now, I was worried we'd be mentioned. [emoji1787][emoji1787] Only joking. Come on Vale we need a win.

Why am I being ridiculous your remark only means you are like the players and it's not hurting enough

Carol please write another open saying the management and players have accepted our relegation is imminent and buy doing this we can start planning for next season taking into account the errors we have made this. That way I won't be killed by possibilities and you will then put us loyal supporters out of our misery. Most importantly sod the money and bring back Darren Clarke. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE

Well we can't accuse Darren of not trying to find a solution. Doesn't matter who he picks the players are <ovf censored>. They're even looking unfit so probably too much classroom work. Given we have no full backs or wing backs we can't even change to a back four. Next game might as well play all out attack and see what happens. Certainly passing back all the time is not working. I'd love to know where all our squad players have gone. Vale park is the new Bermuda triangle. Role on season end

Training I don't know what it consists of but we cannot do the basics pass and tackle.

Can't believe they are giving Plant any training on defending because he is absolutely useless at it. Mind you they've done their homework playing 2 wingers. Can we declare at half time.

Plant not playing well today. It's a sad sign when you're watching a poor match and are pleased for it. Sorry I but both wingers scare me to death.

Doesn't look like a lot of passion from the Vale.

Enjoyed watching him play when available but I think teams knew he was easy to crock and gave him heavy treatment. I'll never forget that brilliant pass and the goal at Wembley. Good luck James.

Why don't you just give your mouth a rest. It's a forum so I'm saying what I think. If you want to praise their performance do so but don't say I'm negative because IMO it's the truth. Now go and get ya mates to come on here and back you up. Cause that's what you do isn't it. If I was making toffee I'd ask Sang to bring me some of that treacle he was running in for the 2nd goal. Now bore yourself off. [emoji850]

Grant, Sang, Weir, Massey all four not good enough for this division all 4 on at the same time.

We now have a right crap team on.

Loft is back to normal Uche to do 2nd half. Need to hold it up better and pass better we had loads of opportunities

Sang has a massive error in his locker. He runs on treacle.

IMO Carol will see that season ticket sales will be slow. The season after the promotion was a no brainer there was a buzz around the team and the whole club. The poor transfer windows we've had since will make people wait to see who comes in and what the squad looks like. Problem is every year we leave it to the last minute to sign players and the preseason is wasted. She needs to make some good signings early to show her intentions otherwise the fence sitters will wait. Why oh why do we do this every season if it's penny pinching then this season is what it leads to. I've supported the Vale 60 years and I don't think I've ever felt so depressed after matches and believe me I've seen some bad ones. I follow is good because you can watch all the matches these days but my god I've wished on a few occasions I wish I couldn't. Over to you Carol and the management team you have a massive job to do. Vale will always be my team through thick and thin. UTV

Let's face it with no full backs or wing backs we are in the do do. Darren Moore might be a good manager but to keep us up he'll have to be the Messiah. Sorry can't take much more of this it's destroying my life, what little I have left. Just get some ugly players in whatever the cost

It's amazing well scandalous really that we have no wing backs and no full backs. Not surprising that they started with 2 wingers. Every manager must know by now attack us from wide out. There is nothing to stop them. We've let Gibbons, Benning, Cass all go without replacing them. I know they were not that good but better than this pile of doodoo. We don't even have players in those positions in the youngsters. So disappointed I can't see where 1 win is coming from. DM needs to get them in everyday till they learn

Grant to far forward and Sang trying to play in his own area.

Sang great attacker not a defender. Jones is a disaster waiting to happen.

We contact Barry Hearn because we may need snookers [emoji23][emoji23]

Like you I think that is the plan with Garrity.. Knowing how Planty trains I'd say he might be back as well. Surely he now knows Massey, Weir and Sang can't defend. I'm sure Debra will come in and hopefully a back 4.

I have a feeling it's March. He's got his slink off now and doing some arm exercises. Hasn't been able to do any running whilst in the sling and obviously no contact work. That was 2 weeks ago so I would think he'll be back on the grass now. Fingers crossed he can get up to speed quickly.

Carol what you have said in this open letter is your plan is to bring youth into the team whether it be home bread or loans from the premier league teams. I'm sorry but in reality I don't want to watch my team gambling on youth players being good enough to hold our own. So what you're saying is this situation of poor fair on the pitch could be a regular occurrence. Like Arblaster and Devine if they turn out to be good they'll end up going back and we start again.if they are average or poor we'll be fighting relegation quite often. You quote the cup run, let's be fair it was luck of the draw mainly. I don't want to see young kids getting knocked off the ball and trying to develop. I'll go watch reserve team football if I want that. All I want is a team who are willing to battle hard against whatever team to try and get Port Vale 3 points and show passion and entertain. If you're worried about the Burslem community go open a hall somewhere and provide opportunities for people. Football supporters always look after their own. Can't see Bet 365 interested in the community when they're encouraging people to gamble. Your sentiments are to be applauded but Port Vale is a football club not a good dead project and if that is the way you want to go the club will not exist in the future. Just my opinion of course and I hope my club will exist for the rest of my days. UTV

So was I must be a doctors handwriting. [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]
