L Orent 3 Port Vale 1 Post Match Comments

[PVTony]

After Colchester on Friday Vale have away games at Rochester, Scunthorpe and Yeovil, and Home games to M.K. Dons, Preston and Fleetwood.

 

After Colchester I forecast 4points from the last 6 games.

 

3 ? against Colchester would then total 55 points. Just enough???

[Bycarsbill]

We only had 10 men.

 

How many red cards is that in total this season? Whatever the actual number, none of them has actually helped our cause!

At last a sensible text who see's it the way it was,while the usual contributor's squabble amongst themselves

for brownie points.By the way, where is perm.

 

I prefer to say it was probably bad defending which left the ref with a decision to make.

It's going to be a nail biting end to the season.

 

Over the last 10 years, no team has gone down from League One with a points tally of 51 and in one season the team placed 20th survived with 44. It looks very tight this season though with only five points between 15th and 21st. So we will probably need 53 points to be absolutely safe - one win and two draws with seven games left.

 

The question is, can we pull out of this dire sequence of results? It's going to be very close. On our current form, we have got a lot to put right.

I wonder what the atmosphere is like behind the scenes,Smurf might think he's been clever about contracts but its not doing results much good.

 

And agents will be whispering in players ears "Dont worry I can fix you up at (insert club of choice) so thats the reason for the drop in form, at the end of the day the players play for the wages not for the club, except in Popes case .

 

I'm sure you're right about the agents' already whispering in a few ears, but ask Jordan Hugill if that situation did him any good last season? The biggest problem is that both the agents and the players mostly have a much higher opinion of their ability than most of us do!

i genuinely feel sorry for smurf

 

Why?

[Portvalefan]

It isnt looking good at all. Yes I still think Page is the man forward give the new squad a pre-season then see where we are at Christmas. As for now we actually need to stay up.

[melv]

Why?

 

Smurf has shown commitment,effort.Add to that his investment.

[Bycarsbill]

I agrre. Whatever he does he will probably get slated, but I, for one, are forever grateful that he provided the funds and bought us out of receivership--those were the really dark days and i hope Norman is given the credit he deserves for at least putting the club back on its feet.

He's had basically a new squad this season! The amount of players we've gone through is ridiculous. I don't want page with the new squad, also I've mentioned this many times but what is the point in the o Sullivan signing.

[Caz or caz123]

It's Friday afternoon!

 

I don't know what you mean! ;)

Is he rocking the boat though behind the scenes with his comments ?

I can't see us losing every game to end of season ( but you never know )

[rayzer]

The last thing that players want if they don't have the security of a contract for next season is to get injured. If you were in their position and there was a 50/50 challenge would you go for it?

[Shunter]

Get Steve Davis in, he is an astute manager - good with tactics and motivating players, if given proper funds he could be a very good manger.

 

Page is a nice guy but has shown numerous times that he is found wanting on selection and tactics, he doesn't changes things depending on the opposition.

 

He would only move to a bigger club.
