Crewe A 1 Port Vale 2 - Post Match Discussions

[mickyferns]

And to which ever admin muppet banned me on the other thread I ask why after some of the sensitive issues that have been talked about on this forum this year I can be banned for saying Rob Taylor isnt good enough?

 

Maybe it was for saying that someone pointing out your stupid comments must be a 'faggot'?

That all? My god thought we were adults on here, never mind.

The number of points needed to avoid relegation in each of the last five seasons is:

 

2012-13 49

2011-12 44

2010-11 48

2009-10 51

2008-09 50

 

So, as someone else posted, 50 or thereabouts looks well good enough to keep us up.

 

On a more positive note. How points have gained a play off place over the last few years?

[Robbie Earle's Perm]

What can I say!!!

 

 

 

Poor first half, sublime second half, totally dominated Crewe really for 50 minutes.

 

I thought Richard Duffy was outstanding, two great games on the trot and a good return to form for Griff.

 

I also think Micky Ferns is a comedy genius, please slag someone else off next week mate, we need another goal scorer to prove you wrong! ;)

Christ they were bad. We were awful first half never got going, but second half we were excellent. Lines, JMW, Duffy, griff, robbo and taylor all great second half. Good win, onwards and upwards.

played well second half mid table finish is looking good , but very upset with the minority of mindless yobs we seem to attract and if we want to make a move towards promotion we need 4 or 5 better players but we got no cash which brings me to my main point tried to buy away medium mans shirt £40 and a large wax jacket £54 no stock of either of them in main shop and shopping center shop how can we help to move on if we can not buy

Popey's getting some stick off Crewe fans.

 

To be fair I was sat level with it in their main stand and it didn't half look like after a bit of jostling Pope elbowed Ellis, I think he got lucky.

I moaned about Rob Taylor before the game. I take it all back. He was superb.

Slightly homophobic! :rolleyes:

Ref was appalling. Possibly worst liner performance I've ever seen. The guy was unbelievable.

 

Being a referee myself I try to take a balanced perspective but even I couldn't explain some of his decisions to the guys I was sitting with, some were quite bewlidering.

Thoroughly enjoyable day, didn't start first half an hour but managed to get back in the game and get a goal when on top before ht.. Two centre halves were fantastic I thought, very solid, won all headers and seem to have a good relationship with Neal too.

Griff was good, battled well and Lines was once again magnificent, one of the best players I've seen at vale in a long time. Super vale away!

Slightly homophobic! :rolleyes:

 

Or harleyphobic - South Park fans will know what I mean.

Here you go, the number of points needed to beat the 7th placed team into the playoffs over the last 5 seasons:

 

2012-13 72

2011-12 74

2010-11 71

2009-10 74

2008-09 75

 

So, just over a third of the season gone and we have more than a third of the points we need. Looks good doesn't it? You never know - if Yeovil and Stevenage can get into the playoffs so can we. C'mon the Vale, we can do it!!

[Beza]

Rob Taylor take a bow. Well played lad.

thought he was awful but got better as the game and his match fitness progressed. Well done Rob but I think this will be his last season at Vale.

Thanks Cambridge Don.

The way we are going we have every chance. Younguns coming through and players coming back off injury. Just a couple of additions in Jan. and you never know.

Greats day. Slow start but took control in second half. Lines was superb, and we deserved the win. Disgusting tactics by Ellis trying to get pope sent off though. Adams enjoyed it as well.
