    Doing poorly with a bad hand is a good way of putting it. 

    You either believe that his relative success at WBA, Doncaster, and Sheff Weds was all a big fluke, or he’s got something about him. 

    Again the success at Sheffield wasnt exactly difficult. He seems to do well with sides with money. I’ll base it off how he’s been here. Dire. His tactics suggests he Dosent have a lot about him to be honest.
     

    It’s convenient you haven’t mentioned Huddersfield, his most recent role. Two relegations on his Cv in one season, can’t wait for next season.

    Just to bring you up to speed on Wanderers, we should be pretty much at full strength after resting a few with knocks against Shrewsbury. For whatever reason that led to a dreadful performance but not just by the players who came in, the whole team just flopped and in the end we were lucky to get a point. Santos is the only doubt and if he’s still missing I suspect you’ll get a chance to see Will Forrester again who apart from Tuesday has been tremendous. I’m really surprised and disappointed that Vale are where they are I expected much better from you but obviously things haven’t turned out well and sadly since Saturday is a major must win game for us I’d be surprised if we don’t really go for it, including goals to have even a chance of overtaking Derby. Still you never know footballs a funny game but whatever happens I wish you well next season wherever you are. If it is L2 I think after a clear out and recruitment summer DM should have a much better chance of turning you around.

    I’ll change my prediction to 7-0 then

    But football at our level depends on charity, match receipts are insufficient. At present we rely on the owners putting money in, and they are not likely to get it back. Other charity work is carried out at the ground (funded partially  by the state and local sources). The owners did charity work before buying the Vale, it was not likely they would stop. 

    Port vale is a football club not a charity.

    We are the worst side in League 1 for set pieces. 10 scored from them, and 20 conceded. -10 GD. 

    Something to consider. None of the centre halves are aerially dominant. We concede loads from deep crosses. Size and height at the back is an absolute must for the summer.

     

    Not a good sign when both managers this season were centre backs.

    I'd go for this game .

         Leuitwiler (sick of Ripley giving ball to opposition from kicks its so needless ).

                Ojo

    Sang  Walters Plant Grant 

    Massey Garrity Chislett 

         Uche Dipepa 

    I'd go with that we cannot defend so play with none just go forwards and try score loads. 

    Ojo can be first line of defence and attack 

    Is that plant and Walters at centre back? Christ that 11 reminds of someone else that used to post on here.

  6. We need some proper d*** heads in the side. Those players that you hate for the opposition but love in your 11. Were far too nice and don’t tackle. 

    Massive clear out needed, keep if possible Garrity, Chislett, Ripley and the young lads and get rid of the rest. Ojo could be a step above this level if he’s bothered so maybe him as well. Oh clear out the manager as well. Start again.

    It's not an either / or choice.

    It's possible for us to be a good citizen for the local community AND to achieve success on the field - as Vale demonstrated in the promotion season.

    The fact that the football has gone badly this season doesn't take away from the worth of this community achievement.

    Port Vale is a lot more than just a football club.

    Port vale is a football club. That’s exactly what we are. I couldn’t care less about this.

    No, he probably won't. But the question was, why did you sign him? The reason was, he had an excellent season playing in this league last season.

    ................and that is a straight and accurate answer to a specific question. I don't know what makes it different playing for Morecambe and playing for Port Vale - that is for you to discuss and analyse. His time at Port Vale has certainly been a disappointment - whatever the reasons..

    He was no better at Blackpool. He’s barely a footballer, I can’t think of anything he has done in a vale shirt, anonymous most if not all games, afraid to tackle, no engine, not creative, can’t pass,  I honestly don’t know what he does.

    As bad as it’s been, he’s had enough success to suggest he knows what he’s doing with competent players. You don’t rack up 96 points in League 1 whilst being completely clueless. This squad is nowhere near League 1 quality.

    He’ll get the summer and the first half of the season. He’s often done well when managing newly-relegated sides and I hope he can replicate that here’s

    However, he’s given himself very little breathing room and he’s going to have to start the season reasonably - a tall order with a demoralised, poor squad.

    They did have a huge budget and one of the best squads so I’m not sure it’s as difficult as you’re suggesting. He’s been utterly woeful. I don’t think it could have gone any worse. I’d get rid. Him and 95% of the squad and start again fresh. It will cost but I can only see us going one way with this group and manager.

    Lots of Vale fans seem to love utter dross, and failure.

    It's why Carol is the apple of many members eye here.

    Better get used to it as he’s one of the numpties we’ve got signed up for next season. I know I’m negative but I think we will struggle next year as well. Too many dreadful players under contract. 

  11. Moore out. He’s up there with the worst managers I’ve ever seen.

    He will end up relegating two clubs in one season (as we didn’t have a cat in hells chance after his 3 wins in 23 which is half a season). 
     

    Quite an achievement. Well done Darren 

    Do you want him back? Please?

    Bowers just said we have the lowest 'tackles made' stats in the whole league.

    Seems our nice guys just don't want to hurt anyone!

    Something I’ve noticed in the games where we had a bit of a hammering. I remember Fleetwood at home that 2nd half. We committed I think 1 foul. We should have been kicking lumps through them, breaking the game up ect. A bunch of nice lads that aren’t very good at football.

  13. It would be so much easier to take if we were <ovf censored> and the others picked up some points. It’s looking like Burton / Cheltenham are going to survive with what 45 points? What an utter disgrace we haven’t been able to reach that after the start we had. Everyone at the club should be ashamed of themselves.
