Some of our defending was x-rated

The players we have are better than our league position. Our football this season has led to us throwing away sheds loads of points. We have lost games late and manager substitutions and tactics have often formed a part of that. We are a torrid watch. 

I think last night will physically impact the coming games for the rest of December. We've been running our legs off whilst the opponents on Saturday rested. Really daft to give away a goal following your own corner in the 7th minute of injury time and I have incredulity that another lead in injury time was thrown away.

Bit of an unfair comparison

Crosby now has a set of games to the new year to show he can get enough positive results. 

Carol and co wont sack AC.  No plan B to allow that to happen.  If they did it would take too long to appoint another manager and the transfer window will be closed.  We would have let players go, loanees would have been taken back by their clubs and as such a much weakened group of players.  

Crewe coming up and us going down is the worst scenario that could happen, but its looking like it will actually happen now.

Rory, is that because you know how to play football.? 😉

[Valiant in Brum]

Get him gone now. Appoint a new manager ready for the transfer window. Should have been a month ago.

[Emile]

I really fear for our league one safety if we don't change the manager before the Jan window and early enough for them to analyse the squad and line up signings for the right price. That will involve selling some players and that also takes time. 

I'm reading the John rudge book currently and what I would do have a manager like that right now.

I don't think Crosby will have any significant involvement in our transfer window dealings. He's a cog in Flitcroft's machine.

According to big-mouth-no-trousers, Crosby has a significant impact. Am I supposed to not believe what DF says??

Think I’ve just seen AC and Carol going into Walter’s and Plaskitt Solicitors, I wonder what that’s all about.?

What's going on lately is a criminal offence in my eyes

My views :

We have now lost the buzz, feel good factor and momentum that we had during the promotion season and Wembley trip.

We had a great opportunity to build something and we all thought that we had a promising future. That may still be the case, but it doesn’t feel like it. 

We had a manager in Clarke who I believe 90% of the fan base felt attached to. He got Port Vale, he was one of us. In my opinion, Clarke was in position for the next 5/6 years and the only way he was leaving would be to a bigger club.

Then the unthinkable happened which derailed us - it’s been spoke about enough so I don’t want to go into it too much. However, Carol felt it was right to relieve Clarke of his duties.

It was then pivotal to get us back on that feel good train this summer. We had stayed up in League One, which was our aim.

Instead of getting a proven manager, or a typical Port Vale manager (Adams and Clarke) we took a massive gamble in Crosby.

Crosby’s tenure started well, but it has now petered out to what we all knew could happen. The decent start and the cup run has papered over numerous cracks. 

We now have a fan base who have become bored. The same happened under Page and also Bruno, who played a similar type of football without getting wins. Fans have become apathetic, the interest in Port Vale is dwindling. At the minute we are nose diving I’m afraid.

I’ve got nothing against Crosby. I doubt it will turn nasty as he has a lot of respect. It just hasn’t worked out and was probably never going to.

100% agree. I do think the feel good factor can return and I truly believe we have fantastic owners who are trying to do the best by the club. We need a change of direction, starting with a new manager that everyone can get behind.

I've posted on here before I'm a floating fan. Have other interests & hobbies to do these days as well as following the Vale. If the weather's looking good for that Saturday & i have  nothing else planned I'll nip down club shop the day before & grab 3 tickets at full cost.

Question is, how is the DF/Crosby brand of football going to get people like me through the turnstiles more frequently if the die-hards aren't even turning up. Not going to happen I'm afraid. The entertainment value on the pitch is not worth the money.
