Unfortunately we don't seem to have the mental strength. nor the ability to be up for these crucial games. I would really like us to win but I will not hold my breath

[Michael]

Really? 😂

 

Yeah whether it's frost or rain Vale at home is normally amongst the first be called off and has been for years.

To be fair AJLS isn't far off 15 and as others have said its not the chairmans job to buy specific players. Had the manager not screwed up the retained list and given us an incredible squad size of 33 players' date=' enough for 3 teams, and instead signed a little more quality and given us better squad balance it could be argued we'd be higher.[/quote']

 

.... and Page said that we don't need a striker in the week.What his logic behind that thinking is only he will know.

Do you think its just the manager then or do you think smurf had some part to play in it all

I'm not biting today.

Yeah I think he had a part to play in signing some players (Andoh, Inniss, Campion) and setting the budget but he didn't create the massive imbalance in the playing squad.

To be fair, you have got a point.

Any news about a pitch inspection?

[Loggerheads Sage]

Any news about a pitch inspection?

 

No mention of any pitch inspection on RS 10.00 news - a good sign. Had stopped raining by 9.00, forecast dry all day now, should be fine. Not had much rain in the last few weeks - last nights rain was forecast so i assume that the rain covers would have been on. (as opposed to the frost covers)

Bite about what?

That's very useful--I shall be setting off soon--so many thanks.

The pitch probably needed watering after Burton anyway, very sandy, very crumbly.

[Bert Llewellyn]

A bit off thread but does anyone know if the Chesterfield game is all ticket for vale fans?

 

Thanks in anticipation

Q BIG game today as all the last seven games r .

My target for the team is win every game ,if they or any individual players believe that just isn't possible step aside and play the players who do think that is possible.

Positive support from the fans ,and high tempo all at it players on the pitch .

Gooaaarrrnnn Vale .

No width. Foley and Dodds aren't wingers. When will these managers learn?
