Match Thread : Barnet v Port Vale

[Fosse69]

Carry on with the improved performance and ensure at least a draw against awkward opponents.

[pete vale]

Got no confidence that we can get any kind of result sadly

[Mattholl]

Some good play against Grimsby and to be honest a similar performance should at least get a point. Wouldn’t be the worst result in the world

[Rampant Zebra]

Let's hope we don't keep deluding ourselves that it will be fine until we need four points from the last game....

Must not lose rather than a must win to be honest, point stretches the gap to effectively 8 points with the GD although a win would be nice and massively open up a gap. I’d take four points from these next two games now.

Agree, a draw would be a great point as we would jump 4 places, then would need a win in the next 2 ..unfortunately our performances aren't consistent and we never know what we are going to get- any one who gets back to back wins in our group at the bottom would be fav to stay up even more so if its against clubs at the bottom

Nothing is for granted this season.

 

We are awful, let's face it. We are so lucky that there are other teams out there seemingly also commiting suicide each week.

 

My greatest worry however is for next season. Even if we scape a survival this time there is very, very little to enthuse me for the next campaign. Hard times ahead I'm afraid.

Well its a great test of the squad as you cannot expect Pugh and Tonge to play sat then the following tues .

Barnets performance at Coventry ,ok they lost but the stats say Westley as got them playing well .

We must approach the game like we are playing Stoke .

My team wish i was going but working .

Boot

Hoskins Howe Raglan

Davis Montano

Harness Worrall Hannant

Forrester Barnett

Avoid giving away throw ins near our goal go with the more commanding Howe over Smith .

Keep a solid base and get forrester onto Barnetts flicks ons

Harness is the man to make Vale tick and Vale will hopefully win 3-0 with forrester Barnett and Harness scoring

What else can we do about it? Resign ourselves to relegation in March when we are not in the bottom 2?

I resigned myself to relegation in January but I hope I am wrong.

We cannot lose this game...a win would be a bonus but we must not lose to Barnet.

On what basis is Howe more commanding than Smith? He's barely played 20 mins of league football!

[Rampant Zebra]

Remind me, who is Howe? So many changes to the squad I have lost track.

One or both Pugh and Tonge will have to start the game, no one is daft enough to start with Worrall, hannant and harness. Far to lightweight
