Starting 11 for tonight. Aware of the fixture pile up but also the importance of progressing. Would like to give Dipepa a start alongside a minder - ie Uche. He might be the answer to the goals problem, we will never know if he isn’t given a chance. Again expect the game time to be shared.
Ripley
Sang. Jessie Lowe Smith. Grant
Ojo. Olly
Garrity. Dipepa
Uche
Got a feeling we might see James Wilson tonight so maybe him for Uche if so. Not sure where Devine is at but would play him too if available. If Grant plays due to the upcoming fixtures I’d make it 45 minutes tops.

I mean there’s a chance in the same way I have one with Margot Robbie or Vale have of scoring twice

Can we or should we recall Tommy McDermott.? Went on loan to Rochdale, didn’t get a game now on loan at Curzon Ashton and has played one game. He’s only been there since the beginning of November and they’re about 7th in the league, but if he’s not playing he’s not developing. Should we also look at trying to place him with a L2 or National League team.?
Don’t want to rush to judgment on him as he is only young but I’d be asking the question what it is he’s not doing to be able to get time on the pitch even in the sixth tier. Feels like his development has stalled a little in comparison to a couple of the others who’ve come through for whatever reason. Hopefully can get him going again whether that’s someone giving him a bit of a kick up the arse or whatever.

GLP, all these managers can’t be bad, perhaps the owners should take a look at their recruitment of players and themselves. I read he said that they were at the start of a new transformation, some more donkey twaddle put into managers heads at St George's when things aren’t going well. As one of my Lardy mates has said to me we have no bragging rights and have similar problems of our own. I know we collected three points yesterday, but I can’t argue with the comment.
Yeah I’m with you on that. The Coates family have done a lot in terms of investment in them but think the idiot son runs the show there now rather than Denise Coates. They can’t all be terrible managers and their records elsewhere would speak to that.

The cycle begins again with them. They’ll appoint someone who looks half decent on paper (Eustace probably), maybe have a decent run at the start having them planning the open top bus and then revert to type and sack them in a years time.

I haven’t subscribed as I don’t think it’s value for money and reading this thread has only reinforced my view. Flickers is a waffler of the first order so anyone that takes anything he says at face value must have fresh air between their ears. That’s not to suggest he’s doing a bad job, or a good job. The reality is likely to be a bit of both.
Honestly in terms of Vale the tenner I’ve spent subscribing to The Valiant is the most value for money I’ve got on spending on this club for a long time.. Baggers coverage of Vale is unrivalled anywhere else. This model is the future in how clubs will be covered it just so happens we are ahead of the curve for once.

Dino Maamria sacked by Burton.

I don’t think it’s low at all, baring in mind that for a lot of people payday is still to come. Similar to how there’s usually a spike in ST sales when that comes around. Some STH’s might be waiting for some seats to be freed up elsewhere if they are planning on coming with some who don’t come here often.
-
So far 5958 home tickets sold which is pretty good going with a fair amount of time to go.
-
Can’t be work permit issues as the kid has a British passport. All very strange as presumably he was a free agent so should have been straightforward signing him.
-
I think it’s right maybe to drop Tommy down a level on loan. Who knows why he didn’t get on the pitch at Rochdale? Maybe he’s just not as good as we hoped or simply their manager just didn’t like him for something else. Either way he really needs to be owning that level while he’s there and then maybe with a view to stepping back up to NL or L2 down the line. Only young and plenty of time to develop but it’s already difficult enough for him given the strength we have in midfield.
-
Right call I think, clearly not working there. Can look at sending him elsewhere in either the fifth or sixth tiers. Be interested why he never got a shot. Did the Dale manager just not rate him or something else?

Bernie just uploaded a video on YouTube about his time at Vale and a bit on the game.

I think the future looks bright for us regarding players who could be worth money to us in the future(the model the club wants to use) we have Plant who i strongly believe will become a big money sale(i would love to see him shine in his natural position),they have high hopes for Debrah who is getting better the more he plays,the American lad they hope will be a surprise along with our own Walters and Shorrock,even Garrity if he continues to play like he is.
The one that seems to have failed SO FAR to take any chance is McDermott imo but there is still time for him
On the subject of McDermott obviously the club will know better than me on it but I’m not sure what good if any this loan at Rochdale is doing. Doesn’t appear he even makes the matchday squad all the time less get time on the pitch. Maybe better to recall him and send him elsewhere?

I don't dislike Fury but I'm sorry scoring that fight to him tonight is borderline corruption. Ngannou won that no matter how many different ways it will be attempted to be spun in the coming days. Fury looked like you'd expect a fighter who has been inactive to look, I'd still back him to beat Usyk but that is banking on him being a different version than that one tonight.
-
Honestly if it means that I don’t ever have to click on the borderline unreadable SOT Live website again with all them ads then I’m all in favour of it. I’ve subscribed for the year anyway. Tenner to see how it goes is worth a look IMO.

My lad predicted his sacking yesterday. An embarrassing thrashing and they are in the relegation zone.
Yeah, the only reason they’re not second bottom is because Southend had the points deduction too so this is definitely long overdue. Having the likes of Norwood up top should be a cheat code for them.
If DC did take it just thinking out loud but that could open up the door to getting a little bit of money off them for Tom Conlon as he was one of his favourite players and am sure he’d love to play for him again too even at that level.

Oldham sacked David Unsworth. I know they’re National League now but this could tick a lot of boxes for DC if he wanted to return to football. Got an ambitious owner and a decent sized club and fanbase so the potential is there.

FGR forum seems to be expecting DC or the Cowleys to be next. Its a club on a dangerous downwards spiral so I cant see it somehow.
I can’t for the life of me see DC thinking about that one for long. People can say what they will on DC but he doesn’t suffer fools gladly. The mess they are in it wouldn’t shock me if they fall right through and back to the conference.

Hopefully had to pay up every single penny of his 5 year contract. 🙏.
Amazing how a club can just implode like they’ve done.
For L2 especially the obvious call for any job now would be DC but I would expect he’d avoid this one like the plague.
-
FGR just sacked Duncan Ferguson. Would have loved to be a fly on the wall once Vince plucked up the courage to tell him. There’s a club for whom winning promotion has turned out to be the worst thing to happen to them.

Leeds sacking another manager and bringing in Big Sam to try and dig them out of the hole they are in. Like clockwork round this time of year someone fires up the Big Sam signal. Someone will be dusting off Pulis before long.

Jody Morris gone from Swindon. We have seriously damaged them as a club and I love it.

If you’re Ryan Loft at this point it’s a case of take the hint you’d think. I get the feeling DiPepa will come on ahead of him if need be tonight. Can’t say I disagree with the lineup. Was hoping Willo could play a part though.
