Garbage

[CambridgeDon]

Surely not another game that we will throw away?

 

Think you have the answer!

[VantaaVale]

It's never a dull moment with the Vale.

I was thinking earlier that to survive next season, we need to keep Lofty, Lines and Knott. I was wrong, we need two new centre halves, a full back and a defensive midfielder who can actually keep the opposition at bay. Depressing!

Yates on for Davis injured

Why do we need all that just to survive? We've survived fine this season with the personal we currently have in those positions. Definitely want to keep Knott and Loft though. Not overly fussed about Lines. He's an expensive luxury and doesn't deliver with anywhere near enough consistency.

Why is "9th" censored?!?

If we passed the ball lines would be immense. But we don't we bypass the midfield. I think we need a whole new back 4 altogether. The amount of combinations we have tried and failed kind of tells me that our defenders just aren't individually good enough.

Walsal was OK, but not likely to play that combination again ?

[Fosse69]

2-2 HT, it is never easy with the Vale.

Home and away but unfortunately we can't play Walsall every week.

Because we've been rumbled - since the turn of the year more than enough sides know that if they put us under enough pressure, we'll just fold. Even today's side, bottom of the league, have managed it. It's called second season syndrome where the opponents who didn't know your strengths and weaknesses in the first know all about them in the second. A repeat of the second half of this season next season and we'll be in a real dog fight.

Started off pretty much controlling this game.looking a threat.2-0up n knott bringing a cracking save out of there keeper.

Then we sit back,let them run at us,jenno n griff didnt do enough to stop a cross into the box...n big sam should have dominated his area.

Poor after that.

Need a rocket at h/t.

Tomlin is powder puff at best.jenno very similar first half.
