Not what vale fans wanted to hear, we’re in even deeper water now. Time for one of the other strikers to make a name for themselves.

We're ******.

Chance for someone to prove what they can do. Maybe it's time we see this 'potential' of forrester.

Does anyone think we won't be relegated?

 

Anyone?

 

It's 100% nailed on.

I'm worried but it's not nailed on. Plenty of games to go and we're not the only garbage team in the division, I'd rather be in our position than Chesterfield's and probably Grimsby's and Crewe's as well even though they currently sit just above us. We've got to play them all as well so it's in our hands.

 

It ain't over until the fat lady sings, as they say. Have faith, remember Jimmy Glass? Anything can happen (in the next half hour).

 

BTW, Tommy Pope's got some balls hasn't he?

 

Big ask now for young Dan Turner and new boy Dior but at least they'll give it what they've got. Not sure about Forrester, there's talent there but if he wants a career he has to show it and now's the time, he should see this as a big opportunity and take it. Barnett needs to convince me and probably everyone else he's a professional footballer and put some effort in rather than amble about in second gear, he's proved he can do the business in the past so let's see it.

The bookies? I don't either.

 

Considering he is easily our top scorer this is not good news. Hope someone else can step up. Although we haven't won for 60 days is it now? We can't get any worse.

Let's just pray to god that whoever gets the nod to replace pope has a good couple of months in front of goal,for sure we will have to change the way we play without our number one airial threat,goal threat and target man.
