Match Thread - Macclesfield Town v Port Vale

[Valist]

Genuinely one of the poorest halfs of professional football I have ever seen.

It's going to take Macclesfield scoring to get us going.

 

Groundhog day.

But I don't see where we could score from. Pope playing by himself and all our players are in our own half, as they are pushing us back.

Both teams cancelled each other out although two great saves from Brown at end of 2nd half.

 

Pitch is very narrow, space is difficult to find.

[PV1973]

They seem to be finding space easily enough and have been zipping the ball around us nicely at times.

Pope doesn’t slip on the turn he likely scores but other than that it’s been dreadful. Formation sees us sit back and invite pressure. Need to pressure them into errors at the back but giving them an easy ride.

 

Vassell for Gibbons needs to happen at half time though first and foremost he’s having a mare today.

Wouldn’t say we’ve cancelled them out. Game should be done and dusted. Thank god we’ve got a class keeper.

No it isn't. We just are not trying to find it.

No way have we cancelled them out. They are playing a lot better than us in midfield. It is just that we have a cracking goalkeeper and they have fluffed shots in front of the goal. They should really be 3 or 4 up.

 

No doubt we will come out and look totally different side and score a couple of goals. Being a Vale fan is hard work.

[valeparklife]

I would take a 0-0 right now.

 

This kind of statement is unacceptable against a team bottom of the league on half our gates.

 

The last 3 "performances" have been absolutely pathetic.

[PVFC764]

Can Aspin put Vassell out of his misery today and take him off.

 

Come on Vale.

[PV1973]

Quigley coming on.

 

We’ve gone 4-4-2 but it’s still square pegs in round holes. Especially on the left hand side and Monty up front who just isn’t a striker.

Come on Ben take your chance and prove yourself with a winning goal

[Shropshire_Valiant]

Can't understand why Aspin doesn't go with Montano and Gibbons as wing backs, it's worked well in a few games!?

[PVFC764]

Come on Ben, just show us and Aspin what you are all about. Get a couple of goals.
