Match Thread: FLC R1 Port Vale v Sunderland

[Biddulph_PV]

I will say that for all my criticism at the weekend, this is the third game in a row we’ve been on the wrong end of some very dubious refereeing decisions.

We only conceded 3 goals in a 9 game unbeaten run in which we won 8 of those games playing the same system last season.

 

Utter rubbish - I’ve just looked up all nine games and we only played 3-5-2 once in those games. In seven we played 4-3-3 and in the other 3-4-3.

You need to do your research marra!

Yes indeed  - but this is just one of those things that have gone against us for years! You don't get anywhere having to play against 12 game after game!

The joys of being a Vale fan.

Love this post. Amazing.

Ref must be a Sunderland fan.  Booked Amoo for diving.

Going to be one of those games where the ref made some strange decisions throughout the game.

Come on Vale.

Even if we end up losing this, there's far more positives to come from the game than negatives.

That is the most ridiculous penalty I’ve ever seen. Even their players never appealed for it! 

Exactly, didn’t bat an eyelid and played on. Everyone confused, ref just carries on regardless. These clowns are deciding relegations and promotions that ruin clubs and decorate the undeserving. When are the football league going to introduce a comprehensive veto system to stop refs <ovf censored> us due to their incompetence?

Been by far the better team this second half - if we lose it down to the shocking decision

Well knock me down with a feather… I was wrong on that one… false memory syndrome on my part!

I stand corrected 

Edit: retracted… memory is fine and we did play 352 and it’s the sky line ups that are “utter rubbish”

I thought that, I seem to remember DC saying he basically had to play 433 as all the players we had were signed to play that role and couldn’t fit in to different tactics

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a team play 532 to any long term success outside the teams that have the best wing backs in the world.

hate it, especially at home.

Proctor has done well in the two games he's featured from the bench. Him and Rodney could be a more ideal partnership for us when you consider each others strengths.

Vale tried in the 2nd half and the change of formation seemed to work better.

Ref made some strange decisions, but rock on Saturday for a win.

[Vale1995]

Looked a miles better outfit than saturday play like that on saturday and im very confident we will get a win
