Had no chance with them. Don’t understand blaming the keeper for conceding a 1v1

Yeah, if a striker is 1v1 with the goalkeeper then he is expected to score! Like blaming the goalie for not saving a penalty.

They should put up a list in the changing room of the memes and comments the fans who pay the players wages have had to endure at work this morning. Get it into the players and management's skulls that what happened on Saturday can never happen again. Laughing stock of the city.

That Crewe fan in your office been having a pop mate?

I don't know about anyone else, but that email from the club for the Barnsley game has absolutely p!ssed me off.

Thanks for your money, we look forward to taking some more of it

 

Always does my head in when they talk about welcoming us to Vale Park as if we’re their guests. We were going before you were in charge and will be going after.

After the worst defeat 40 years i was sort of hoping for a bit more than "thanks for coming, see you on Tuesday"

[ValeFanInBrum]

Presumably the fact that there's no apology or mention of a refund!

[valefan16]

Had the email and appreciate the time, all be it an apology from the team or something may have been better!

Do you demand that from the Odeon every time you go to watch a movie that you don't enjoy?

Told him I'd rather lose 7 nill every week than support a n0nce club. That shut him up.

Finally just got around to watching the game as the baby stopped me watching it live - probably a good thing.

First half - even game. I think Crosby has players in the wrong positions. Connor Grant is not a wing-back, and Massey is not a striker. I don't think Cass and DJ are center-backs - I think they are full-backs in a flat-back 4. 

Sang looked quality in the middle. Always involved, working really hard. With a more intelligent striker instead of Massey (both on the bench would have been better options) I think we will see quite a lot of assists from Sang - quite often Massey is not in the right position to play alongside Harrison whose shots were very tame but at least he is involved.

Ripley distribution is class. With a quick striker upfront on the break there are goals there. I hope the Swansea lad will do that job but also hope we can sign another fast striker.
