Vale 1 - Bristol City 1 - Post Match Comments

Just happy we got a point. Agree with most we looked well below par and technically short of Bristol city. What matters though is final result. Back to basics Peterborough next and hopefully 3 points.

Bristol were deserving of all 3 points, bossed the game from the start, looked more up for it than we did. Neal made a couple of good stops first half to keep us in it. I'm so pleased to get a point from that game, but need to improve vastly against Peterborough.

Will make it short.90 minutes of garbage football(if you can call that football) thank you Lee Hughes for getting us a point,another point,pathetic crowd,well done to those who turned up,if I was SMURF I would forget any more cheap ticket deals,

Happy with a point we didn't deserve. I'm sure we'll play better and lose. Oh we have v Orient. Thought Jay Emmanuel Thomas was the best man on the pitch.

 

Easy to look a good player when you always have 20yds of space to play in. Our midfield was appalling and Loft was lucky to get a yellow. Glad we got out of that with a point we didn't deserve.

6275 doesnt seem many... did they bring anyone?

[Vital Spark]

Felt sorry for their defender Flint, he was a rock all game until the mistake for our equaliser. He would have been a brilliant signing for us last January.

Crap game in which we got out of jail, I was one saying willo should be given a chance, well he's had his chance and done clough all, Hughesy gets a 10 minute run out and the rest is history.

[bookworm]

spare a thought (only a small one ) for crewewewe, the shaggers and shunters have really bit the dust, 4-0 to county and if the court case finds against 'em they'll be a few players short come crimbo. shame,:nailbiting:

[Jinkin John Jeffers]

Poor game. Hughes had to start.

[melv]

Play like that against Posh and it will be a cricket score!

 

I doubt that we will play that bad again.Well fingers crossed that we don't.

Loft lucky to get a yellow with a one footed grounded tackle? Insane.

 

As Griff is a weak footballer, it should have been his primary role to man mark Emmanuel-Thomas out of the game. He made us look stupid, and how someone hasn't done one on him I don't know.

 

Real weakness for me today was the negativity from both full backs. As soon as your full backs push into that 30 yards of space it changes the complexity if the game. Either they were told to be negative and not push forward, or they are stupid. Probably the first.

Extremely fortunate to get anything out of that game. We made a very average team look good. People keep bleating on about Emmanuel-Thomas and Pack, but they had nobody anywhere near them all game. Birchall and Griffith were woeful today, and Williamson proved once again that he is only effective off the bench. Lines and Neal only notable performances for me today.

 

The referee lived up to his pre-match billing of being a complete idiot.

Lines effeminate and Neal at fault for their goal

We amateurs in the paddock could see their number 10 was running the show in acres of space, yet nothing was done about it.

[Va-LEE-ant]

I thought we played really well today....for the first 2 minutes and the last minute.... :0)
