Embarrassing? It's been throwing it down there since 5am non stop and is still belting it down. Not many clubs can control the weather....

Went toe to toe with them last season at home in a great match under the lights now they are 3 leagues above us !

Neither can I but players over 35 have a choice. Live off what they have earned or take a step back to start the next 20 years. He is active with his coaching qualifications and knows he won't be on silly money for much longer. I think it's a perfect fit....Unless of course Sheff Wed have plans for him.

I said it a month ago he is 35 in December and in into his second year of collecting his Euro coaching badges. I have a sneaky feeling that we might have a new player-coach next season and now I know we won't be spending money on a DOF I think Bannan is a real possibility.

Does anybody else think that the new captain is not yet at our club?

No he will settle in there. Top 7 all day long.

My money is on him sleeping rough outside the Vine by Christmas.

I hear Carol is on holiday this week. Where has she gone..La La Land? Looks like we are following the Forest Green model. Remind me how that went?

Phenomenal.

Probably fitting that a team on a -31 goal difference and lost their first game 7-0 should be relegated before the last game of the season. The worst part is somebody looks like staying up on about 46 points !

The day we get relegated.

Alan Vit who joined OVF on March 25th. Not sure who you are but comedy is all about timing and to post this today stinks. !!

Looking at how the league has panned out he was given 17 games (51 points) to get about 4 wins and a few draws so about 16 points from the 51 on offer ! We have won 2 and drawn 3. 🤔 !! 9 POINTS...We could have put Boomer in charge for those final 17 games and picked up more points...

Talk about death by a thousand cuts !! Just put us out of our misery. Some folks still think we could get 4 points from the last 2 games and survive !!! Nutters.

Well it made it's way to Buckinghamshire 😁

Any truth in the Wycombe posts on X of a pitch inspection at 5pm?

Imagine how many points we would have now if we had never cast eyes on them 2. We would have been relegated in March. !!

Terrible weekend. We all thought it was hooligans causing trouble when we were watching the Vale at Chesterfield. We had just got back to the car at 5pm and instead of the normal sports report music belting out Alan Green just announced how many had died, it made your hair stand on end. The following morning I arrived at the Normacot Hotel were I was reffing in the PDSL only to be told the game was off as the managers 10 year old son had died in the tragedy.

Carol has had a really bad 18 months with her decision making. Please don't add to this list by doing an on-field speech at the end of the Cambridge match !

"Must win" 5 wins in 40 means this clearly fell on deaf ears for the other 35. Those who still think we still have a slim chance of surviving are stark raving bonkers !

Who would have thought back in July we could be relegated in mid April but although the official (R) will not be placed after our name because of the goal difference we could be 99.9% relegated on Tuesday if results don't go our way. Shrewsbury 0 Wycombe 2 on Saturday so like Exeter another team that have not yet placed down their beach towels. Last one out turn the light off.....

Our record in 2024... Played 20 Won 2 !! 😡 We are all angry about yesterday because its the hope that kills you but those two wins coming back to back were massive sticking plasters ! A complete disaster, and wouldn't be surprised if Fleetwood and Cheltenham sneaked above us !

Walsall home and away so probably looking at mid table.

Almost time to close this thread. Could be relegated on Tuesday.

Biggest game since Wednesday. 🙃 Only 15 games between a return to the basement or a Sunday evening in Burslem banging out the tune from the great escape. Which Vale will turn up this afternoon?
