Great point today and better performance,we would of won on another day.The so called local paper the sentijoke couldnt even be bothered with a live page coverage and by the local radio station coverage i wondered at one point if shawcross was dead,so its "ale and Vale" time for me.UTV👍

Mike Baggaley was never able to get a signal - that’s why there was no live coverage.

What I don’t get about you, and posters like you, is where the anger and vitriol comes from, or what you think it might achieve? Guthrie is a young lad trying to earn a living. He probably knows better than anyone that his performances will determine whether he has a professional contract anywhere come next season. His dream, to be a pro footballer, hangs in the balance. I’m guessing he could have sat in his backside at Bradford and picked up his money until the end of the season. He’ll be desperate to succeed. As a Vale fan, I’m desperate for him to succeed too. I hope he does. I wish him luck. Better to be him than a keyboard warrior salivating at the chance to stick the boot in on the evening of a good away result.

 

What I don't get about fairies like you, and you're certainly not alone on this site, is why you get so upset and emotional about someone not rating a player and having an opinion. Not everyone is going to rate who you rate, or like the same things that you like.

Speaks very well. Can tell he’s very passionate and wants to win. Decent start today with a solid point as I put earlier I just can’t wait to see what happens in the summer 

He clearly rates Crookes higher than a few on here.

Disappointed at the negativity.

The only remit for me is keep us up. 

We've gained a point on 2 of the bottom sides. 

Was an okay performance a draw was fair. I really hope Guthrie scores against Stevenage. Am I waxing lyrical about how wonderful he is .....nope. But give the lad a break he's come into a side who've won is it 2 in 14 ? 

He worked hard. Yes of course he needs a goal but crikey give him some leeway before the public hanging 

New manager but same old performance. POOR

At least Clarke will know what is needed after the next few games, if he doesnt already. Can see a minimum of 5 new players in our starting line up for next season.

Plenty of stick for Guthrie. Hes not the top striker in the division but hes the best front player we have until Pope pushes him when fit. We still need to replace Pope before we write him off. Guthrie can score goals and has done but his goals scored were created by others. Cant remember too many chances he missed today. Give him a break. Hes the best we have for the next few games at least.

Crookes is poor. Yes he was picked to do a job on Wilkinson [ i think ] and not too bad a job against a decent player, although a cheat for me. Crookes also a taller player and should help out in ariel battles. Should ???? Distribution and as a footballer - shocking.

Can see Monty playing on Tuesday unless Stevenage have a wide player that Clarke feels needs attention.

Sorry, i know Hurst is young and may improve but he again has shown nothing to offer hope of a decent div 2 player that we need. Yes a cross came in but i am looking at 90 mins performance for us. He does offer work rate and commitment to the team. Still he has time and deserves a chance. Would have been a gamble bringing on Taylor for him, unless we are losing and then i would expect that to happen.

I do find Rodney infuriating to watch. He is fast, faster than his brain at times. He is strong, too strong and overhits some passes. Danger when he has the ball in front of goal and even when 30 yards away you wonder what next.  He also offers little when we need his effort to hold the ball up or to win the ball back or play a simple ball to get us moving again.. IF someone can get this out of him [ if its in him ] there will be a player for sure. To me it should be there in him now and if it is he should make sure its put to use. Still our one and only option for goals. I would certainly play Pope up front with him and its a shame Pope was injured after one game together. 

Good luck Clarke. You will need it. If you are successful then we will be happy fans in a year or so.

Thanks again to our owners for their backing. Lets get behind them soon as we can.

Did they get a fee for him then??

What's a fee got to do with anything? Vaughan scored 11 goals in 25 games for Bradford. That's a far cry from Guthrie who didn't score one solitary goal for them. Try to dress his record up all you like, or make excuses for hm. The fact remains that he's yet to score a goal this season.

But at least he creates space for others apparently. Strikers don't need to score goals in today's game it seems.

His interview today was exactly what i expected him to come out with.  He would never slate anyone publicly after todays hard fought point. Point that we are desperate for. This is not his mess but he has to sort it out with the players he has available.

Also think that if Monty had played against Wilkinson we could have had a defensive problem on our hands. Monty will not be able to stop himself from attacking, quite rightly, Crookes can only defend so i expected this choice at left back.

I didn’t think any players were bad today. Seemed to me like we’d set up to get a draw and we did. On another day things might have been different, if Hurst had scored, if rodneys header was a few inches lower, if Gibbo was 2 yards further to his left. Not sure I agree with the criticism of Crookes today.

As I've said before, there's a portion of fans on OVF that deserve the nonentity the club has become. Happy just to be a football club in the dizzy heights of League Two. Happy to have strikers that don't score goals, just as long as they don't fall on there faces when they put one foot in front of the other. Happy to go nowhere on the pitch just as long as they can have a lukewarm pie and Bovril on match day when they are allowed in stadiums again.

So if he doesn't score a single goal for us until he sods off back to Bradford, you wont mind just as long as you can say he worked hard for he team? 

Brilliant.

It seems like some have lost perspective of the game. You score goals to win games, if you don't score goals it puts pressure on the defensive side of the game.

Not since Tom Pope was firing could we say we have a goalscorer. Look at Vaughan at Tranmere for example.

We need to address this
