Match Thread: Port Vale v Scunthorpe United

[valiant_593]

Agree with what most are posting. Change it round. We’re at home and these are 23rd. Get a defender off and bring pope or mkirdy on and let’s actually attack them. Who cares if we get over run we won’t win the game like this. 

[Old fort]

Not closing down is becoming uncoincidential

[philmpv]

If ever game is calling out for someone like harry mckirdy it is this bring him on at half time and give him time to make a impact not for the last ten minutes 

I agree. Crookes has no clue at all at the minute. Our whole defence have no idea what to do with the ball so keep going backwards and sideways. Mckirdy and Rodney both needed for me to at least pick up the ball and run at the back 11 of scunthorpe

They must be laughing their heads off in the dressing room,how easy it is for them it's up to Askey now we can't possibly start the second half in the same manner

This game crying out for Montano

Monty for crookes at half time

Mckirdy for amoo at half time

Pope in 20 mins if we are struggling still.

Leggs stop the 50yd give aways. Crookes ans Smith cannot pass wind. But we are playing against two sets of four defending. Whoever comes foe the ball will have a man on him. We need a full back to drive forward. MONTY.

Worral poor. Amoo poor. Conlan and Burgess not been in it for last 20 mins

Keep heari g they have only had one shot. Is that one more than us ?

Like too many keep saying we cannot create goals or score them.

POOR HALF

Hairdryer? Askey? Most he's capable of is throwing his custard creams on the floor and letting out a sigh.

If you look at how we play we are able to play any team off the park in the league but our players dont look up for it half the time and that is where i feel askey fails i dont imagine hes the type a manager to inspire them to play for 90 mins each week

Too much backwards and sideways

Got to have some pace going forward

No urgency from several players. As has been the case for ages now, Vale are so, so predictable. Think us fans have been hoping for success on the pitch that Carol and Co are building off it. Even the hardest of Valiants must now accept that frankly we are NOT a promotion squad,yet. Improved yes from Smurthoverweight's reign but massive strides yet to be achieved.

[Old fort]

Loads of early possession and created absolutely nothing.     AGAIN

[valefan16]

We looked good until the goal and were at least getting crossed in and passing nicely. Since the goal our heads of gone and it’s the predictable huffing and puffing.

Probably needs Pope on if we are going to go long!

Match stats 

Those stats look atrocious considering we’ve playing a side that had lost their last 7 prior to beating a poor Oldham side on Saturday.🤬🤬🤬

Starting to get really frustrated with this Vale side and the management.

He's a nice bloke but he's really not somebody you're going to be motivated to play for or run through brick walls for. 

[rob1983]

Big 45 mins for Askey with his tatics and substitutions. Has he got what it takes to turn the game round.

[Santa]

Might be a bit of a controversial idea but has anybody considered maybe having a pop at goal?

[Vale1995]

They need a rocket putting up there arses at half time but i can imagine its a ‘more of the same we will make changes in the 91st minute if were not in the game’
