Must win game for Crosby

[valefan16]

Need to win this or nerves will start to jangle.

Everything that can possibly go wrong is going wrong at the minute. Denied 2 penalties against Stevenage on Saturday where we received an apology letter for and we should have had a penalty last night for that foul on garrity. I can't believe we arnt getting these basic decisions going in our favour considering the 2 soft penalties that we had given against us at both Portsmouth away and at Charlton away. Injuries has now become a massive problem as we have Jones, lacovitti,balmer 3 centre backs all out long term. 2 wing backs in grant and Clarke out injured long term and Wilson upfront out injured long term. We also have conlon who is non fit to play or even be on the bench. We have uche and loft basically playing 45 minutes each half to try get there match fitness up when we have a fit forward in Thomas sat on the bench hardly being given any game time. A few weeks back we were creating chances and missing them but now we arnt creating much and most efforts at goal seem to be ojo long range strikes. We don't look like scoring so it's basically another game of as soon as the opposition score it's game over. This game basically has 0-1 loss written all over it.We basically need start playing 2 upfront but Crosby keeps sticking to his 1 upfront with his same formation and tactics that teams have now sussed out how to play against it.

Don't be silly we will start with Massey as lone striker only problem i have with Sang and Massey is they don't try to get past there man to cross into the box

3 really big games in the managerial career of Andy Crosby.

I am putting my life savings on under 2.5 goals

Dazzler to end Crosby's managerial career at Vale? How ironic that would be! I can only see a 1-0 defeat coming, i hope im wrong 🙏🏻

Are any of the youth team able to fill in for the injured? Would still like Cass to be brought back in from the cold, we did well when he was in the side earlier in the season.

i think he will have to make the squad now with our current injuries, AC definitely doesn't rate him. He has a mistake in him yes & can be lightweight at times but i like Cass & he's half decent when he gets forward. All our defence can be shaky at times tho & lightweight barring the yak 

[leedsvaliant]

Thomas looks like a goalscorer to me. He seems to get into good positions and with some support from Uche he might be the spark that turns us around. 2 up front with Chislett in behind or Garrity would offer a goal threat I think.

Forgot about Cass,  is he injured or frozen out for some reason?

Someone said Clark is now injured long term also. Is this correct does anyone know?  Cheers
