Yeovil T 1 Port Vale 2 Post Match Comments

Next week can be enjoyed now with a chance to play some potentials for next season.

 

Glad I'm not a Coventry fan, they've got Crawley away and although Notts would have to win at Gillingham, Crewe beat Bradford and Orient win at an out-of-form Swindon it's quite possible they could go. Still, who cares apart from Smurf? For the rest of us it's a matter of passing interest!!

I hope a win finally isn't enough to make anyone think the current management team is right. I should feel relieved but it's so frustrating watching the same old rubbish over and over and....

"Roll our sleeves up" "dig deep". Somebody should invent "Rob Page Interview Bingo"

Positives: We're safe, Pope seemed to have a good game - happy with the result. Better players like O'Connor and Marshall we have more chance of keeping because they wouldn't have dropped to L2.

 

However, negative tactics lead to their equaliser. Anyone and everyone knows how poor we are defensively, so why rely on the defence? And for 30 minutes!!!! I could understand it if it was 5/10 minutes left and they were pressing but they weren't even doing that. I completely blame RP for that. I was on the fence about him but if he can't see that we needed to press for a second goal then maybe he's not our guy.

 

Next week I'd to see some of the young players given ago seens as we have nothing to lose. Then lets have a right good clear out. No massive squad next season, just a squad of quality topped up with premier league starlets.

What led to their equaliser was a poor clearance by Veselli no one else to blame.

Great feeling, as it was imperative that we stayed in League 1 next season with so many Midlands and North-West clubs in there. If the current bottom 4 stays the same (Crawley, Orient, Colchester, Yeovil) that will be ideal, with Burton and Shrewsbury coming up. Hopefully Bury will join them and Rotherham will drop instead of Millwall (although they blew a huge chance today against Derby).

Without the negative tactics it wouldnt have happened.

Well done, Vale, despite Page's best efforts to give us a heart attack or nervous breakdown, or both. Great effort by the lads.

 

Now it's time for a complete clear out, starting with the management team, so a new manager can clear out the dross.

 

If we don't, we will simply go through all this next season.

Willio was an outstanding player on the pitch would be one of the bingo squares.

 

Going defensive worked for us is another bingo square.

Sweet Jesus I have aged several years in those last few minutes. That was horrible - we tried to **** it all up in the last seconds again. Sweetest tasting beer I've had in ages.

 

I'm agreeing with you there. I was refusing to open one until the final whistle went! I'm not worrying too much about the future at the moment, just bathing in that relief that it's all over, regardless of next week. The table shows how much bother we'd have been in had we even drawn at the death.

Glad to see the Vale staying up, even though it's been a disappointing last couple of months after we were getting close to the promotion places--too many late goals conceded. Some big decisions to make in the summer though

[P.E. ST6]

I'm not a Page fan but surely avoiding relegation was his main job when he took over. Job done give credit where it is due. We are playing league 1 football next season, let's enjoy.

[valiant_593]

Ill go for:

 

We never gave up

 

The lads have been brilliant

 

We go again

Why? Apparently a simple clearance not dealt with!

[PV1993]

What led to their equaliser was a poor clearance by Veselli no one else to blame.

 

What led to Veseli making the mistake was negative substitutions that saw us sit back against a team bottom of the table that we had previously been ripping apart.

 

It's a team game. I see your point about individual mistakes but if we'd gone for the jugular we wouldn't have been in a position to make a mistake in the first place.
