  1. You’re absolutely right. The behind the goal cam shows it well that defender would have blocked it if he went low so it was the one place he could hit it and the percentages were in his favour. Really well done. Was a great save by Blackman too in fairness to him. He was copping it from the Vale fans all second half.
  2. Club tweeted it and presume it’s on their Facebook and insta page too. Can see how happy all Lofts teammates are for him
  3. If this game doesn’t end with a Ryan Loft breakaway and smashing it home in front of the Hamil what are we even doing?? Just got to go according to the DC mantra of one game at a time. Apply the same grit and determination they showed today and we have a shout.
  4. Watching the goal back that pass from Loft to Chislett was a thing of beauty. Well controlled on that finish too, it wasn’t an easy one particularly on that pitch and a defender throwing himself in front of him.
  5. Far be it from me to take all the credit for Loftys goal but what do you know 😎 And by the way if come the summertime transfer thread anyone thinks of suggesting Hudlin as an option this summer please everyone just give it short shrift. Looked like the quintessential competition winner when he came on he did.
  6. That was thoroughly deserved for us, am so pleased we got it done today. Seemed the team played with a bit more aggression and grit. Loft was excellent with his workrate and winning aerial contests. The goal he scored it was well done by him on the build up getting it to Chizzy in the first place and also following up on the rebound. Buy a ticket win the raffle, hopefully this can be something for him to build on. Thought the away support was brilliant today, backed the team the whole way and when Loft missed in the first half people just backed him more which pleased me. Real genius from the Burton fans behind the goal throwing a flare on the pitch after our goal.
  7. Should Loft have scored yes but beyond that he’s done a decent job for us so I think it’s really off some of these comments quite frankly. We’re in the game at least and hopefully should have the wind second half. Quick request to the team in future right on half time just boot it clear and not try some intricate move off a goal kick. That could have made things very different.
  8. Oh Lofty, there goes the omen I was hoping for. I’ll be fair to him he’s done alright otherwise winning his aerial contests.
  9. Think they said over 900. Using the Stoke City calculator we’ll call it 21000 😂
  10. If anyone wants an omen Lofty in the shooting practise warmup has nailed a couple of beauts. Less said about some of the attempts from the rest the better… god loves a trier though!
  11. Just looking at the pitch these goalmouths are very bare. I’d humbly suggest lots of low shots and see if one catches a dodgy bounce or be ready for the rebound.
  12. DiPepa would cost them a lot more he’s already on a senior contract now.
  13. It’s a good point to be honest. Don’t think there’s been a combo that hasn’t been tried and all have had roughly the same effect bar fleeting moments. Guess at this point we’re unlikely to see Dan Gore either. You’d have thought given the length of time he’s been out they as well have announced terminating his loan. They did with the one from Liverpool.
  14. That’s how I’m seeing it. Ojo and Garrity sitting in and then Chislett behind Willo and Loft.
  15. Looks like 3 at the back which doesn’t please me at all. Never mind strikers the recruitment of the wingback position has been sackable in itself. Either way come on Vale. Be a great time for Loft to hit form if he can.
  16. Don’t disagree that DM and his coaching staff may well be very good but ultimately you can only get so much out of the players you have. Just look at our set piece defending. I am pretty certain they’ll have done extensive work on it but the same old issues are arising and it costs us game after game. To get some semblance of organisation / defence against corners should be one of the easiest things to sort out for them but these players are incapable. Starting with the captain.
  17. We’ll see today. My feeling is they just are what they’ve been rather than downing tools. It’s the same type of goal they concede and teams all attack us the same way now. Basically we’ve been found out with our weaknesses and powerless to counter it. I hope they prove me wrong but as I said earlier until they show me otherwise I just have no faith in any of them.
  18. Right decision, thanks to him for appointing DC and the promotion but a series of bad decisions since meant things just could not carry on. Had already cost Andy Crosby his job and was just no justification for him to remain in situ. We’ll see what comes next but ultimately the reason we are in this mess falls on the Shanahans, vital they get this right now.
  19. It’s a great feather in the cap for him. Think this might also be more an indictment of his teammates but he’s been the one attacker since the Fleetwood game that has made a positive impact each time. Very pleased for him even if it means we’re without him Saturday.
  20. Firstly congrats to young Baylee, a nice achievement for him. I think he is someone who seems to have come on as a player in the last month or so and is one of few who can hold their heads high in this squad. Guess this means we are without him Saturday though which is not so good.
  21. Made an impulse decision on Saturday before the game to get a ticket for this. If I'd come to my senses and realised the shower of <ovf censored> they were about to show against Oxford I wouldn't have bothered. Got no faith in this team getting a result until they show me they can. My guess is we'll start well again for 10 minutes or so and then they will get a corner and fill in the blank from there.
  22. It seemed there was a lot more people more interested in just looking at their phones than what was on the pitch. I was one of them. Only time I did get really agitated second half Baylee Dipepa had picked up the ball in what for any other team could be a dangerous area but no Vale player even thought to make a run to help him and instead he was hung out to dry with three Oxford players around him and no Vale player in sight. That to me showed there are players who've quit.
  23. Honestly I just think people have had it beaten out of them. Seems most are at the acceptance stage now and I think even if a glance at the table still shows survival should be more than achievable the eye test just tells you this team don’t have it in them. The atmosphere was very eery though, nobody really got on the players backs it was almost a shrug of the shoulders at the latest embarrassment. I just don’t know how many more times an opponent gets their first corner of the game and then proceeds to score with ease while our gormless defenders look at each confused as to how it has happened for the umpteenth time this season.
