Sat 12th Mar 2016, Peterborough v Port Vale, pre-match comments and the match itself

[bomber]

I always thought there would be a lot of goals in this game ! I was hopeing we would get a few ! Not be I fear a spanking now !

8 mins stoppage time due to the Inniss injury.

Typical Vale. Get close to the play offs and fluff it up. They did say we needed to win 7 out of 10, so it could still be on.

 

Second half will be ours.

Real shame for Inniss, if it's a re-occurrence of the shoulder injury it's a problem, even after surgery the shoulder is still weaker than normal and prone to dislocation.

Page shot himself in the foot, in all honesty did we ever believe we were good enough for the playoffs. Lets hope i get this wrong..

[For Us All]

We never seem to do well here?

[Santa]

We don't seem to do well anywhere that isn't Vale Park.

When the second goal went in, Sky commented that Port Vale's away record was a bit of an issue - something of an understatement you might think.

 

Our away record and our dismal lack of goals mean we are only ever going to be a mid table side. Only 5 teams have scored fewer than us and 3 of them are in the relegation places. It's been a problem since the start of the season. We know it, Page knows it, Smurf knows it but we've done nowt about it.

 

If we get new owners I just hope they've got a few bob to bring in a striker.

they are completely right but i dont think the teams form can be fixed by just bringing in a single player

[Paul6754]

vale are punching above their weight at the moment, if we don't sort out the striker/goal scoring issue than I fear for next season.

[For Us All]

Are Foley,Moore and Robinson playing,I've not heard them mentioned?

You're right, yewth. Some big teams - the likes of Pompey, Plymouth and Oxford are coming up next season, with Bolton and Charlton looking certs from the Championship, so it's going to be more competitive than ever.

I made the same point as the poster above a few weeks ago that a characteristic of teams in the relegation area is a lack of goals, I realize Burton haven't scored many but if you don't score goals you can't win matches and get three points, 1 win and 2 losses out of 3 games is better than two draws and 1 loss points wise.
