Poor 1st half lacking aggression.Our midfield  nowhere near Swindon in the opening 30 mins. We would have been lucky to go in 1-1 at halftime but what an ending to the half!

Against general opinion, I’ve watched the replay a lots of times and still don’t think it’s s foul. The still of the incident looks terrible on its own but watching the incident in full can’t see how it’s a foul.

2nd half a little better but how we have not had a penalty at 1-2 I have no idea. Smith shirt was around his neck going up for header from a corner.

A body blow today with that result, the players need to respond positively now. That 1st half is not good enough for mid table let alone play offs.

Officials generally were very very poor.

Positives - Great goal and decent debut from Hall.

Said before on another thread GK position is weakest link. We need an experienced L2 GK.

DC not a happy bunny with Covolan and has basically said learn or your gone,  as I am really not happy with you.  Very much the Micky Adams approach with Sam Morsy when he got sent off for a stupid red card incident.

At least DC said he will be looking at himself and seeing if the tactics were wrong today as well as the players not producing.

Only real worry for me presently is Conlons form. He looks very poor at the moment, and has for the last few games. Needs a break IMHO

He's just had a month off.

 

We were terrible today and the stats from the match are embarrassing.

We got schooled in a very bad way. Easy for Swindon and they looked a class above.

Typical Vale, we have a good week and we perform like that.

<ovf censored>, no other word for it

We were completely outplayed today. They could play at a higher pace than us, won all the second balls, most tackles and individually had a higher skill level. That's the third time this season our keeper has been sent off. They had 17 shots first half and it was obvious we needed to change tactics. Conlon didn't look fit? Maybe Wilson isn't fit?

We have totally lost our structure and rhythm with the cancellations and new signings. Our passing was poor throughoutwith Hussy’s set pieces tragically bad, his last free kick straight into the hands of their keeper.

Covolan should be sacked. Plenty of decent keepers around who don’t need to collect a ball while kicking a leg out and not getting sent off. He has cost us 9 whole points this season with his antics. 
 

McKirdy, well playing much better than at any point when he was at Vale. 

Covolan has cost us 9 points?  When?

Ridiculous decision. Never seen anything like that in my life. 

I too have never seen anything like it but unlike you for me it was a clear sending off,I was sat in the Lorne street and as soon as he went for that ball with his stools showing I thought “ he’s off “. I can’t remember the last time Vale had a keeper sent off before this season but we now have a keeper that’s been sent off 3 times. He might be a good shot stopper and his distribution is good but you just don’t know what he’s going to do next, I can only put today down to him having a brain fart.

We have an awful record with that ref. It’s something like one win in a dozen games. My old man predicted disaster as soon as we saw the officials. He contributed to our defeat but we were probably going to lose whatever he decided about the red card. Swindon were simply better.

McKirdy did more in 90 minutes that he did in an entire season for us. And don’t blame managers for that - it’s down to the player to play to his potential and he clearly couldn’t be bothered last season.
