Big teams above us? This is the weakest league one since we got promoted.

Nothing to do with budget as ours is bigger than many in the league. Page just forgot he needed strikers.

Uche is more of an athlete than a footballer, his game is based on pace and power rather than a footballing brain or skill. If we could get a Tony Naylor or Martin Foyle or their like alongside him Vale would have a dangerous front two.

At the end of the day we aren't competitive enough in either penalty area. We don't have any attacking threat and the soft goal we end up conceding is inevitable.

vales home attendances will sink faster than the titanic with a very heavy object onboard if things don't change, and fast

[cpade]

Their sending off didn't 'even it up' whatsoever as we had played the majority of the game with 10 men so our lads were shattered.

 

Page in.

 

You happy with 6 wins from 29 ?

Agreed. It's becoming harder and harder to get motivated for games.

You're arguing with someone who thinks page did well with his retained list. Its pointless.

no hes obviously not, what ****** in there right mind would be? what he is saying is the lads were knackered, playing ten vs eleven for an hour, have you ever played with less men, its really hard and it is knackering! how is it pages fault though if uche got sent off? dya think he told him in the dressing room 'youll get a motm if you get sent of today uche lad' sorry, but page isnt all to blame for this. he can only do so much imo

Was it pages fault that we treated Tom Pope badly and he left and that Marshall came back and said "sorry I made a mistake" and someone said "you have had your chance" and turned him away. Classic bit of cutting your nose off to spite your face. Vale have wasted so much money on inconsequential stuff like getting Ticketsmaster in and then paying off the contract, paying off the caterers etc. Signing lots of players with potential rather than players that can do it now. Signing a development squad and then letting them all go to save money. I don't think much of it is Pages fault.

First is not a yellow, didn't see if contact for second, stone wall penalty denied when they broke for second goal, referee was awful but after doing the hard bit when 10 v 10 should of got a striker on to take the game to them and ended up paying the price.

[Valenick]

Paul you can't talk sense on here you'll get shot down

None of that has stopped page having a competative budget. Smurf may have wasted his own money this way, but the team budget was fine. and he increased it despite saying he wouldnt when page forgot to bring in a striker, only for his to splash it up a wall by bring in AJLS.

Another away game with no shots on target, no dangerous attacks and no threat at all. Uche was a disgrace yes but only one direction with this guy in charge. Page out.

 

Hard to argue. His comments on Radio Stoke were embarrassing.

[rsb]

Sub 5000 crowds after the Shrewsbury game only way to get above this will be away fans or vale going on a winning run home and away. But can't see it happening.

[Spunk Trumpet]

Signing garbage like Leitch Smith was certainly down to Page.

He was awful in the first two friendlies then got a goal and a contract. Page was waiting for an excuse to sign him.
