I wouldn't say we have been hammered at all, they were on top before their first goal. We then pushed them back and then they got that second one. This game is far from over, get one and I think these might start panicking a bit.

Hope you're right

First half gone well I see??? Another 2 in the goals against column.

Our defending had been bobbins. We look the better side going forwards but too many mistakes. We can get back into this though.

But beating us

Game of 2 halves, as they usually are, sort it out Vale.

Shocking defending from us again this half. Need someone different in that midfield. Missing Ojo and Walker. Hall has to start for me, put Jones at LWB and get Hall back in the 11. Benning not at this level imo. 

These look a real poor side so hopefully we can get an early goal 2nd half. Think he will take Robinson off at half time with his booking.

Yeah, we do tend to to have massively different second half performances. Need one here.

These remind me of MK Dons.

A goal in first 15 mins of second half and these could crumble . Officials killed us clear foul and clear offside for there second.

I personally think you're mistaken on both counts there. If anything, Forrester was the one committing a foul, and when the ball was played he wasn't offside

Except it was Forrester fouling their man, not the other way round...

Embarrassing comment that when they’re beating us. We’re no better.

Was onside, not sure where the foul was? Forrester was fouling him.

I felt the guy who scored at the back post was offside. I appreciate I'm up in the stand but I am in line with the goal line. Want to see it back later.

Frantic start, Vale get back in it, they get the better of two refereeing decisions, score line flatters them.

Next goal crucial for Vale.
