Match Thread - Crawley Town v Port Vale

[Heatwave]

Listening to NA's post match interview on RS and reading between the lines, I think Smurf maybe holding back his proposed transfer pot. I suppose it's no use giving a Manager money then sacking him. Far better to give it to the new man in charge. Will Neil make it until the end of the month?

Much needed win though. UTV

 

No point. Even if Aspin was sacked tomorrow, by the time a new man was appointed the transfer window will have shut.

Shouldn't someone say "this win is just papering over the cracks" at this point...

[philpvfc]

Smurf won’t give any manager a decent pot to spend. Loan players and rejects is all that we can attract.

This win is just papering over the cracks

[Iron Curtain]

Cracking win and I’m really pleased for Miller.

 

Feels like Norman and Aspin are having a stand-off to me.

 

Ready made excuse for Norman not to spend the 400k... the fans weren’t happy with Aspin so I didn’t want to give him the cash.

No point. Even if Aspin was sacked tomorrow, by the time a new man was appointed the transfer window will have shut.

From his tone someone may be being appointed tomorrow!

[Valiant62]

We weren’t defensive against Lincoln.

Never read that into it after hearing it at all

Just sounded as if he knows if we don’t win each week he could be out

[mikey]

these tactics are ok away from home, and weve had some success, but when will he find a way to play at home?

[valefan16]

Perfect away performance, could of been more had to be made better decisions on the break, Clarke could of put Elliot clean through.

 

Superb away form really but what Aspin now needs to do is set up and be more positive at home rather than think we’ve won so il play this system at home.

 

The new loanee was superb today.

[smithie]

Any chance of giving Aspo credit for the loanee signing?

[Rampant Zebra]

What do you think? Lol

[Valist]

Great result. Won't comment on performance as not there. A very very valuable 3 points. Let's hope this can be a springboard.

[Paul6754]

 

As I wasn't there, can't comment about Elliot but it's incomprehensible to me that Aspo puts on a young rookie with no league experience ahead of Whitfield. What has the lad done to deserve it?

 

Anyroad, we won so time for a few snifters

 

Thought the same myself CD and I'm being a tad harsh on Elliot, he does look to have a trick in him and to have some pace but it's tough to come into this league and do the job the manager and all vale fans want and need.

Watched it on facebook Vale till i die and i thought to a man all the players were excellent from the Ricky Miller goal to the last hr of the match .

Crookes was superb and i thought Miller was superb also with Hannant very goodand oyeleke growing in confidence as the game wore on .

In fact apart from the one on one they missed i cannot think of anything other than Browns save that our goalie had to do so in general a very good performance from all .
