Match Thread: Port Vale v Walsall

What a truly atrocious performance. Same sort of performance as Bradford, except even worse. Conlon is an idiot, takes far too much time messing around when on the ball and that’s what got him sent off. 
Jones cannot start the next game, that’s two abysmal games from him in the last 3.

Special mention to the ref. May be the most boring game I’ve ever watched. Think it spent half the time with no play actually happening. Wouldn’t let the game flow whatsoever and never dealt with their continuous time wasting.

Vale players did not turn up and play like we know they could.  They should take a lot of the blame for losing this match.

However, the ref and linesmen did not do their job tonight.  He let Walsall players throw our players to the ground, fall down at the slightest touch.  Again another ref making it all about him.

Maybe tho will be the end of playing players out of position. Can’t keep playing the same formation regardless of who’s available. No need for a complete change of everything we’ve built but players like Walker, Legge, Worrall further forward need to be given the chance now.

That one is on Clarke for me. Got the tactics wrong in the first half and that’s where the game was lost.

For Askey and 4-3-3 see Clarke and 3-5-2. For all the feted tactical analysis there is little evidence that we play every game on its merits and flex our approach accordingly.

Fair play to Walsall. Turned up for their cup final. Won’t be troubling the top 7 come May though on tonight’s evidence.

On tonight’s evidence neither will we

To quote the fantastic Willie John McBride...."How many dead?"

We lost an awful game of football and Clarkey will be hurting more than us you can be sure of that. Move on.

Everything we touched/tried turned to <ovf censored> I'm afraid.

Roll on Satdee.....I'm having another glass of red....did I say glass? I meant bottle......no sleep tonight! Ta Vale.....

Outmuscled, out-thought, out played. If we're ever going to get out of this league, we need to be able to compete with big ugly sides like Walsall but we're just not up to it. We lack physicality at the back, in the middle and when Proctor is out, up front.

On top of that we should never have set up with a formation that played straight into their hands and we stuck with it for too long. DC and Co got it terribly wrong tonight and they need to rethink it, starting imho with a change to four at the back and some physicality down the spine of the team.

Walsall knew exactly how we were going to play and nullified us completely. They're not alone - teams have worked us out and the same thing will happen again on Saturday unless we show some variation in formation, tactics and the way we play. Things need to change or there'll be more of this to come.

Nothing short of abysmal that was. Darrells first proper test as our manager as that was a unacceptable perfomance. Dont think we strung two passes together all game. Got completely outfought for 90 mins and they looked a really average outfit. Extremely disappointing few results. Shows how important wilson and proctor are for us
