v Southend: the score today?; other pre game stuff; the game itself

[CambridgeDon]

Just seen all three goals on Sky, and the sending off, followed by Charlie Nicholson's description of the game, which brought great hilarity to the studio. He picked out Richards as the only Vale player worthy of comment and said we were completely overrun in midfield. Embarassing - even Jeff Stelling, who's usually fair minded to lower league sides couldn't suppress a smirk as he commented that it's now three defeats in a row.

[For Us All]

Six points off the play-offs now with Crewe and Macc breathing down our neck.:(

Nice isn't it when we are a laughing stock, the 3 centre-halves were clueless and didn't win a header and indeed the only ones that did defensively were Pope and Richards.

 

Clear that most aren't up for any type of battle and are completely gutless.

Sky are now running the Owen goal in their Sky Sports trailer. This is going to haunt him, and us, for a long time. It will probably feature in one of those football horror compilation CDs.

No leader in any of the back line

 

Two poor keepers who you expect to make a real clanger every game.Nothing in the middle, despite Griffith putting tackles in and working hard we have no goals in him or partner doug loft who's been poor this season.

 

Wide men Taylor is the biggest waste of space on this current squad for me. Dodds, rigg, haldane, all the same as well. Endless chances but clearly are not good enough to hold a place down in a very poor vale side says it all for me.

 

RICO is the main man up top but only wants to know when things are going well for himself, wants all the glory.

 

Pope works hard and holds it up well but there are other areas that you see that asks how's he a professional footballer? Doesn't shoot, doesn't turn a man and doesn't score.

 

Micky Adams seems like he's lost all faith and if he can't get these players up anymore which I don't think he can then I'm certain we're in for a relegation battle as we will slide down this league quicker than you can say perry deakin!

 

The clubs in a right mess on and off the field and has been for a few years now.

 

I think this is the end of port vale.

 

Didnt see a keeper clanger today, just extremly poor defenders.
