My first reaction was that it looked a foul all the way from my position, plus Leon’s reaction suggested he knew himself that he was in a bit of mither.  Haven’t seen a replay  so can’t comment other than that.

Legge looked like he completely mistimed the challenge. I think the ref didn’t book him because of where it was and the challenge looked clumsy rather than nasty.

It wasn’t criticism, it was an observation and an opinion you moron.

 

Look at the goal difference column and you’ll understand my concerns.

Newport were in the playoffs with 0 goal difference last season. Exeter with +10 the season before. Maybe your GD concern is misplaced.

Gutted not to win yesterday another 2 pints dropped. Would take a good point before the game at a form team but when you play well and are on top you have to put teams away. If we don't address that in the run in we could miss out.

Joyce and was outstanding. Probably his best game in a Vale shirt for me.

I just wish the league would sort out the officials. How can the referee take advise on a decision he made standing 6-8 yards away from a linesman who was at the other end of the pitch?

We have put ourselves under pressure now must win back to back home games. This could be the defining moment of the season.

Watching a different game from me, bar Amoo I thought Joyce was our worst player, he must have given the ball away needlessly at least 7 or 8 times, Conlon came in to his rescue a number of times. For me, Clarke and Smith were the 2 players who shone the most yesterday.

Clearly although I agree with you about Clarke. Amoo definitely had an off day.

Show me a player that doesn’t give the ball away. It’s an impossibility for a player to go a game without misplacing passes or making a bad decision. It’s the same at every level of football.  I thought joyce and Conlon kept us ticking over in the middle and controlled it. Amoo didn’t look interested at times, the amount of times a ball was clipped over their full back or when we looked to play that ball he just wasn’t interested in spinning them to take advantage of how high a line they were playing. You can gauge how positive Amoo is going to be when he starts going backwards to Gibbo and then not making a move for a return ball from him.

I always find it interesting to see how the opposition set up against us and anyone who was at the fa cup game last year at Cheltenham will testify that we really struggled to get to grips with Ruben Reid when he dropped off our centre halves, all their play went through him. Luckily he went off injured that day. But on Saturday they didnt play that way, they put Reid out on Gibbo, and instead of hitting him all the time they seemed to be using him as a decoy in order to switch it and get behind us in the left back area. I thought they had a lot of joy in doing that in the first half and got quite a few crosses in. Second half they hardly troubled us and in addition to that I thought their tactics meant Reid was ineffectual as Gibbo and Legge dealt with him well when balls did come into the box.
 

Afterwards i read their managers assessment of the game, he mentioned that during the match his side had stopped doing what they had been working on in the week. Which made me think that their game plan all along was to try and get behind us in that left back spot and get crosses in to the box,  eventually we got to grips with it to stop it ourselves. But we’ve seen that time and again this season with teams targeting the space behind Crookes or Monty when they’ve played there. For me we have to keep Clarke there from now on.
