Match Thread - Macclesfield Town v Port Vale

[PVFC764]

What formation are we playing today?

 

According to IFollow. 4-1-4-1. But who knows when they get on the pitch.

 

Come on Vale.

[PVFC764]

Get the feeling already that this is going to be another one of those games, where fans are going to have no nails left.

 

Come on Vale. Get the first goal please.

[PVFC764]

Alarm bells are now ringing every time they attack or have a set play.

 

Come on Vale. They are making it look like we are the bottom of the league.

Certainly sounds so far like Popeball is the order of the day yet again. We have another 2 years of this now. Pope is great in the air but generally only in the box is when it actually comes to something. We MUST change our build up approach at some point surely!

[valeparklife]

They are all over us here.

 

Only a matter of time until we concede surely.

[PVFC764]

They are pushing us back and we are having to use the hoof ball to Pope and they have a tall side who are just saying thanks very much.

 

Pope will be very frustrated this game.

 

Come on Vale.

[PVFC764]

They are all over us here.

 

Only a matter of time until we concede surely.

 

Extra time no doubt they will score. Vale are playing deep by the sounds of it.

Going from the match commentary I’m not feeling very confident.It seems to be all Macc.Scott Brown to the rescue again

[valiant_593]

No surprises here. We’ve been ****.

[PVFC764]

Taxi for Vassell. Sounds like he is not happy playing out wide today.

 

Thank goodness we have Brown.

 

Come on Aspin sort this lot out, tell them they can try to get into their half and score.

[valeparklife]

Big Vale following.

Away game.

Expectation to win.

Opposition bottom of the league.

 

Macc 2-0 Vale

 

So predictable how poor we are yet again away from home.

 

BIG turnaround needed 2nd half. We'd be 4 down without Scott Brown.

[PV1973]

Terrible half. How they aren’t leading is down to some awful finishing and Scott Brown. Clark’s had a couple of good runs but other than that he’s well off it, Vassell is having another poor one too. Hannant and Monty are coming too deep and are being pushed back by their full backs pushing on, months hardly been in it. They look a better footballing side than us to be fair.

[Guest TommyMac]

Can we not cancel the rest of the season, tell the EFL we'll settle for 22nd and give player of the year to Scott Brown.

[DaneValiant]

Same old tactics: 4-5...............Pope, sit deep, back off and tackle until they're within 2 feet of the edge of the area. It's only in the last 5 minutes of a half when they wake up and do something meaningful. Maybe that's when they stop paying attention to Aspin and do their own thing

[melv]

Right stop faffing about go out second half and go straight at them.
