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.

How many tickets did we sell in the end by the way??
Think they said over 900. Using the Stoke City calculator we’ll call it 21000 😂

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!

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.

He’s wasting his breathe then. Whether this is true or not I don’t know, but I’ve heard both are very likely to be playing in red & white stripes next year.
DiPepa would cost them a lot more he’s already on a senior contract now.

Its a difficult task picking the players. Is there currently such a thing as a strong Vale side? Just listening to Sproey on the radio , he reckons this is our best side from what is available.
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.

Grant and plant at wing back?
That’s how I’m seeing it. Ojo and Garrity sitting in and then Chislett behind Willo and Loft.

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.

The interview with Darren Moore showed he's a good coach. There was a lot of techniques mentioned he's using to boost low confidence. It's something hard to do in sport. He's obviously doing things to shore up the defending and working on the attacking play. I'm pleased he's the manager.
But the bottom line is the players need to step up to the level required. If you leave strikers in L1 unmarked, they are much more likely to score than in L2. When attacking, a L1 defence is much better than a L2 defence. There is gulf and we need to bridge it now - not soon - now. Today is just such a big game. I hope PV find the battling qualities and improve by way of taking in the coaching given.
The team selected must be solid at the back first of all. If Burton are a direct team it's the players who best handle that. In front of goal we must start taking our chances.
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.

I've a feeling that the players might have downed tools after Crosby was sacked to get flitcroft out. Today we will see if we actually have a team of players or whether we need a total rebuild in league 2. My hope is that they've decided to return to how they played in August and September and we owe Burton one. They will know they owe us, dazza and carol a performance.
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

As I parked up I noticed how much easier it was to do so. Walked in to Lorne st foyer, noticeably quieter. Sat in my usual seat , plenty of empty ones around me. Had the banter with mates around me totally bored with what was going on football wise. Was one of the many who left 5 mins early and heard the loud shouts of Flitcroft out as I walked passed the old Goose pub. I hope you witnessed the same events as I did Carol. You are killing your customer base.
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.

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.

Compare today to a far more even game at their place so what’s happened in the interim? Quite simply David Flitcroft, master of all things football, has taken us backwards through his sheer incompetence.
Everything you say is right Ray but not letting Carol get away with it either. Ultimately she is his boss and the buck stops with her for allowing it to go on especially as she has seemingly nailed her colours to the mast in relation to him.

I think that was one of the most depressing games of the lot in a season that’s just a catalogue of failure. Flitcroft has to be in an untenable position now but it goes beyond him. I get many won’t like this and nothing will take away what she did in the past but a fish rots from the head so I’m sorry but Carol has to take the blame here. Whether it’s blind loyalty or gross negligence the end result is going to be the same.
Thought young Baylee tried when he came on but he’s certainly in no position to dig this team out of trouble on his own. The defence if I never see any of them again it’ll be too soon. Gone past the point of anger though just disappointment at how this club has royally screwed things up.

That was just an utter shambles. I thought we started ok for the first 5-10 minutes but that’s when you know we are clutching some very thin straws. Beyond that the whole defence is a disgrace. You could pluck any four from the crowd and I think there’d be no noticeable difference in how they defend set pieces.
And for some stupid reason I decided on a whim to get a ticket for Burton away next Saturday. Feel an idiot doing that now.

Have to see the replay but from where I was sat that looked inside the area from Mitch so got away with that there.

Once again allowing them free runners on a corner. Lucky Ripley got in the way of it.
Dan Jones is pretty much doing nothing than being a turnstile against their winger.

Putting all the other areas we incompetent aside the inability of this team to defend set pieces is probably the most disgraceful aspect of this team.

I expect him have the players giving there all .
My expectations what expectations I support Port Vale there is no expectation.
I expect them win games its 11 v 11
We beat before we kick a ball .
Why have performance got even worse under Moore didn't see Smith and Debrah making glaring errors under Crosby like that.
It's like we play we playing the opposition with 17 men as six of ours are aiding them
It's <ovf censored> and I'm sick of it m8 .
You keep happy Clapping Moore and his merry men
You’re asking him to polish a <ovf censored>. It’s an impossible job for Moore in reality and I feel for him having to bite his lip and not go in two footed on a few of them in his post-match. None of these are his players.

Another points deduction for Reading drags them a bit closer back in. You’d hope it would he to our benefit but then we have to actually win some ourselves which is the problem.

Burton (A) match thread - 23rd March

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.
