Match Thread - Oldham Athletic v Port Vale

[jeffers]

In a break from GTC, we can start a guess the formation.

Easier to GTC.

[windsorvale4ever]

got a feeling aspins going to go with a 5-3-2 formation

 

--------brown--------

 

gibbons-legge/vassell-smith-Rawlinson-clark

 

------conlon-kay/joyce-hardcastle

I'll be there Saturday trying to keep my positivity alive, hopefully, however we set up we get the result we crave, unfortunately until we get some stability and continuity season on season we will continue on this bumpy ride. Keep the faith and we will enjoy the game Saturday

 

Sticking with a clueless manager won’t help either. Continuity will come once (if) we appoint someone capable of being a league manager.

...not sure that Aspin will go as far as leaving Hannant out - assuming he's fit of course.

Change the record. I didn't hear you saying that after we beat Crewe.

Its not like we're rooted to the foot of the division with no win is it. You've been on Aspins back from day 1. Even if we were to bring in an experenced manager in, which is very unlikely anyway, how do you know theyll be any good at The Vale?

Vale fans are preiceless. I heard some gimp at Carlisle telling Aspin **** off then, and that was August for god sake.

They wanted Horton out, they use to boo leon Constintine. We're just unbelievable.

[PV1993]

If Aspin is thinking of going 3-5-2 following last night, having looked at Rawlinson and Vassell, I would go:

 

3-5-2: Brown; Rawlinson, Legge, Vassell; Clark, Hardcastle*, Kay, Conlan, Hannant; Pope, Kanu.

 

*Or Worrall

In Lorne St on Saturday I was moaning about Miller only being on the Bench , especially as he had scored against Burton in the week. A guy next to me said he had heard Miller was on the bench as a disciplinary measure as a result of off the field misdemeanours.

 

Thats not true at all,what the guy said.

 

On to the game Saturday,Aspin has said he doesn't know his team for Saturday but he said whichever one he chooses it will be the wrong one...a little dig i think there

I've heard us bo'd off after a win before. I thought that was a new low, but last Saturday was noticeable for the apathy around the place. There's just no excitement at games any more.

Stevenage in the cup under Bruno.

He always looked perplexed - God knows what that did for his mental state.

Play Hannant in Kay’s position then you have our current best team.

[Biddulph_PV]

Brown

Gibbons-Rawlinson-Legge-Smith-Clarke

Hannant-Hardcastle-Conlon

Whitfield-Kanu

 

Subs: Worrall. Dodds. Vassell. Joyce. Pugh.

[KEV.WILLIE]

Back to basics please!!!!

Stop flipping about!!!

[wwindsor]

If as is expected Pope returns Saturday i would play him up top with Whitfield around him, similar to the Lutin game last season. Play pressure football and get at them, they say the best form of defence is attack so lets go for it.

Brown

Clarke Smith Rawlinson/Legge Vassell

Kay

Kanu Conlon Hannant

Pope Whitfield

 

If we play that team/formation and lose then so be it but at least we would of set up to attack rather than defend...
