Did you think we’d just keep on winning?

I didn't think they'd put in a bottlejob like that against the worst side in the FL with Clarke in charge. Poor and direct evidence of why the recent unbeaten run is no reason for complacency/sentimentality. There are certain names who have to go.

Not really bothered, and neither were the players. Ref poor. Joyce should be released. Whitehead is captain of my Worst Vale 11. 

Release everyone we can (include Brown, Joyce, Monty, and Brisley in that), fire up the Matrix, tell Robinson and Whitehead to find another employer, and forget this season.

Put our faith in this new recruitment structure and new management team who have worked wonders. These lads have had long enough and enough chances. Time to move on.

A poor defeat, but it perhaps reminds us that some of this team shouldn't be around the club next season.  I was getting worried that our recent hot streak was airbrushing people's views in to retaining some ordinary players.  If they were that good, the middle third of the season wouldn't have happened, and we would be bound for League 1.  It did, and we're not - there is a good reason for that.

I have thought that if we'd had that good run mid-season and then finished with 3 wins in 23, then there would be no debate. Get them all gone.

Recency bias comes in and suddenly some players, who had previously let us and Carol down big time, are getting consideration.

Ship them off and go again.

Fairly poor performance overall, but bottle job? Really? If we'd been second best against the team bottom of the league fair enough, but in reality based on balance of play and chances created we shouldn't have lost that. One mistake rightly punished, but several opportunities to equalise; just an absence of composure, luck and decent refereeing.

In some ways they've done to Vale what Vale have done to a few teams the past month or so. Score against the run of play and then just defend like mad, break up the play and run down the clock.

But the fact that we didn't have the guile or energy to come back at them when they have just been relegated from the league sends a clear message I think....

May be a few players today have not helped themselves today if DC was wondering do I keep them or let them go.  

Ref did not shine either and seemed to be favoring Grimbsby with some of their dreadful tackles on Vale players.

Roll on next week and then see what DC and Flickers bring to Vale Park next season.

What a disgusting decision by this cretinous referee. Utter nonsense. Referees - full time spoilers of the game. 

Well said .

Nothing to really read into today. Two not-bothered teams, their players with a bit more to play for as they've just relegated a club and need contracts. 

Fact remains that our squad needs seeing to a with a hammer, and rebuilding from the foundations up. That hasn't changed during the 9 games unbeaten and doesn't change now.
