I aren't sure how many games he has played at MK but I do think we missed him

We have most definitely missed him. He was decent for us. 

[Cheltenham v Peterborough]

How have they managed that? Peterborough were too good for us to even attempt to get a point remember. Shambles we are.

And thats your choice brother.  

Interestingly, I was listening to the A&V pod this morning; as Steve says - they're all angry and hurting right now, arent we all.  But, give it till the middle of June and we'll all be desperate for the season to start and get down to Vale Park in August, have a beer, see all the faces we know....

Add to that, IF we keep one or two of the chaff - and we can all carry on hating on them on here, but we add some good signings as well, then we're bound to want to get down the Vale and watch/support them, arent we...??

Even Bezzer will renew his ST.  You mark my words.

 

Laters

I can’t watch us line up again with jones, Lowe, Grant, loft all starting. Guessing Massey will be released so won’t have to put myself through seeing him play again. If come first game of the season, then lot are in the side I won’t attend. I know it makes me less of a fan according to some but I really dislike this group.

I think some people on here are going to get a very rude awakening.  This is NOT FIFA Manager; we need some L2 and some L1 players; I think there will be more kept than shown the door.

I also think if we play players in the roles they are supposed to play in then you'll also see better performances out of some of them.

I can’t agree. Not with this lot, usually I would as tearing a squad apart rarely works. But this lot aren’t interested and don’t show any bottle. Grant, Massey ect aren’t good enough regardless of what position they are played in. Jones, Deborah, loft, Massey, Lowe, I don’t think are league 2 quality.

Wrexham revenue £10.6M last season, that is why they can spend so much on players. What chance do we have?

Wrexham are only 1 side in a league. I’m sure we can compete with others

Player of the season contest is Ripley or Chislett or Garrity. 

Maybe Smith gets nomination for worst player? 

Loft, Massey, Lowe, Grant and Jones fighting for that imo 

 

Edit: Deborah as well. He’s been at fault for some huge goals, that Fleetwood one springs to mind

Conversely, we loved Clarke because he won games, not because he was aggressive in his interviews with someone just doing their job. 

I really don't think Moore's interview technique becomes a topic of conversation if we start winning games again.

Hes just not a very good manager. I don’t see him turning this around. Fans of every club didn’t rate him other than at Doncaster.

Not read through all this topic but I’d be fairly confident that much of this squad would be OK at League 2 level.  No doubt we’ll lose some of our better players, maybe all.  The biggest issue is that we still need 3, maybe even 4, strikers and if we do lose Garrity & Chiz then that’s a fair few extra goals we’ve got to find on top.  Add the goals plus a bit of extra pace and power and we’ll be rayt.  Oh, and you always need a sprinkle of good luck.

I haven’t seen anything to suggest this squad could compete at that level. Take Garrity and Chizzy out and it’s a non league side for certain. Mass clear out required, again.

Ben and Chizzy will definitely have clubs after them. Id be amazed if they were Vale players next season and I'd wish Ben all the best.

I think we may get away with keeping Chizzy, garrity no chance though and wish him all the best 

[Carol statement]

Statement is fine, actions will speak louder than words. This will take some repairing for me to return though. Can’t say I’m looking forward to seeing Moore’s vale side next season  

The line ‘what happens on the pitch has always been a priority’ is a load of <ovf censored> though.

Just so.

Such hostility is completely unjustified towards someone who, despite this season's very poor outcome, has only ever tried hard to help and restore our club.

In certain cases, the hostility is because they are closet Stoke supporters trying to harm our club by offending and alienating our greatest benefactor.

But the genuine Vale supporters who also join in are beyond all reason - let's go out of our way to be offensive to the person who is the sole reason why Vale still exists after Smurthwaite leeched it dry.

I hope that those genuine Vale supporters have a careful think about their actions and the potential consequences.

Why is it unjustified? It’s completely justified!!!! I’m a genuine vale fan, always have been, always will. Carol has dropped the ball, countless errors in the past two years. That is not deniable.

Phil Sproson says we’ve got league two players. We haven’t, they’re not capable of playing at that standard. 

That 11 would go down in league 2 im certain of it.

Please would you share with everybody the well-considered details of your masterplan.

You propose that the existing first-team management team, who were appointed a very few months ago on long contracts, should all be paid off now, at what cost?

And then which new first-team management team should be appointed in their place, and at what cost?

How should those management team changes be funded?

And what implications would those new management funding requirements have for the budget for the playing squad, which clearly needs to be overhauled for next season?

This challenge is offered equally to the other "Moore out" posters - please would you explain, what are the details of your masterplan?

Not my fault or problem that the owner thought it was a bright idea to give a bloke with 3 wins in 23 games a 5 year contact. Ludicrous decision. 

We were bad under Crosby and somehow regressed further with Moore, with easier fixtures. The football is dire, we put every man behind the ball, create nothing and still conceded a bucket load of shots / goals. I understand the players aren’t close to this level, but his tactics and subs are about the same level of these players. 

For me, start again, completely. It’s not my fault funds have been wasted. Something needs to change as we are only heading in one direction. We played better under the youth manager than under Moore.

I hope there is a rendition of ‘your not fit to wear the shirt’ being sung

Sack Moore tonight. It’s just not acceptable the bloke has made a bad side even worse and relegated 2 sides in a season. Get rid tonight and start again from scratch next season.

I've been a Vale supporter for 70 seasons and there have been many more "sad seasons" than ecstatic ones. It goes with the territory as the younger cohort of fans will also come to understand!

I only started going when we had Guppy, Mcarthy ect and seen a few relegations, this one hurts more. 

[Players I never want to see in a Vale shirt again]

Definitely add Deborah to that list. He’s woeful.

We weren't in the bottom 4 when he came.

We've scored in 7 out of 16 games and he's managed 9 points out of 48.

Woeful

He needs to go. He’s had an easy run of fixtures and somehow made us worse than under Crosby. His tactics are woeful. Worst manager I’ve seen for Vale , I always though Michael Brown would hold that accolade but Moore has overtaken him for me.

Some of it is a bit obsessive. The sun rises tomorrow. 

It isn’t though. (Off one poster maybe) but it’s no more obsessive than fans stating the players are <ovf censored> or DF should have gone ect. She’s got literally everything wrong in the past 2 years. It’s been a disgrace. The club is an embarrassment 

[Bolton (A) match thread - 20th April]

Only another 4 and half years of this <ovf censored>. Can’t wait see us line up at Crawley next season with 11 men behind the ball

Oh here’s Bournemouth Valiant with the confused faces again 😂. 
 

BV, I asked last week but how come you don’t see to like any criticism of the manager?

Moore needs to go. We can’t go into next season playing this kind of football. Get him gone.

0-0 isn’t good enough, we have to win.

We’re playing Bolton away don’t be silly. We can only turn up and put 11 men behind the ball. There too good, just like Peterborough. Teams like us can’t go to these sides and attack, they will just get beaten….
