We might score now the derby players are in the dressing rooms!!!! Still unlikely tho

Not a chance will the vale players score.  Will more likely put it over the bar and into Bursley park.  

We played for a 0-0 and got what we deserved. Aspin esque performance. Totally and utterly clueless going forwards. Uche left completely isolated. Smith on the right AGAIN.

Crosby seems a great bloke and I’m thankful for his involvement in the promotion. But he is a <ovf censored> useless manager and needs to go NOW

Fans are really turning now. I expect a club statement this week! Cant go on any longer ffs 

Could play until Saturday and not create a chance or score. Embarrassing really that Ripley had our only shot on target 2nd half. Stunk of the game against Bolton. Uche isolated, players not moving up top, not getting in the box. Not got one positive from tonight. Slow boring passing, even at the end passing it about with no tempo.

It’s Carols own fault this. Not interviewing externally is amateur hour. Even if you wanted AC you have to interview externally. AC has to go before Saturday and DF as well, another season of utter garbage recruitment. It’s hard to judge who’s more to blame and i think it sits more with DF. I’d back AC further but his insistence to keep the same formation even with numerous injuries, playing smith out of position and setting up the same tactically makes it very hard to back him. 

DF and AC to go. And who’s ever idea it was to sign that numpty up top. I’m sure DF said we had been after Loft for some time. I said on here when we were after him how bad he was. 

Rubbish game, rubbish side, rubbish DOF and the manager ain’t great. I don’t want to hammer AC too much as I think he’s been done over by the ‘amazing’ recruitment team we have but the form has been shambolic and tonight was just pointless us even bothering to turn up. Might as well forfeit the games and save us the hassle if we’re not going to bother having a go.

Arguing who's the worse between Ikpeazu and Loft is like having a debate about which smells the worst between Horse <ovf censored> and Cow <ovf censored>.

I can see that Uche tries to get the ball, but Loft wants the ball to come to him. Either way, same outcome, no goals.

She got rid of Darrell when they seemed pretty close & after he not long lost his daughter. That was pretty ruthless to be fair but yeah she's got to be considering it now! 

There was no ruthlessness in that decision! Stop dragging this up!

Yes, Brian - you're still confused about what happened!

Also, for us to have not won in 10 and play for a 0-0 is a sackable offence alone imo. Just accepting no wins in 11. Pure cowardice

One of those shots on target was from Ripley.  Just shows we should actually play him up front.  

I think that just shows how desperate AC is, sending his keep up.

It's time now. 0 league wins in 11 at this level, you just don't survive that and if you do, your league status doesn't.

If roles had been reversed and Vale had been in the position Derby were when they scored- do you think Vale would have put the chance away ? 
I don’t 

What's a chance ? 🤔

No chance will the club will give a statement about his sacking or support.  They seem to keep information in house.

I really felt we would plod to a plucky 0-0 but should have known a blocked pass would land perfectly to their speedy winger to take one touch, and slide it across the box for their un-marked striker to score a  classic Fifa goal.

Not saying we deserved anything from that game, but it's the kind of goal we concede when on bad runs. Very unlucky. Ripley did make some good saves but all within his locker. Didn't think Derby did a lot but their quality did tell. One of their defenders in particular let nothing through (kosheen?).

Uche and Loft are terrible at the moment. This season went south as soon as Wilson got injured. Atleast he had a bit of threat and could carry a ball. If I were a vale midfielder I'd basically just take long shots and ignore our strikers.

Exactly 

I’m not going to get personal with Andy Crosby, don’t think the bloke is trying to lose football matches but I think it’s clear that he’s out of his depth at this level.

A huge part of our early-season form was down to Arblaster and Ojo in midfield, yet we’ve got Ojo playing centre half now and he’s clearly not comfortable there.

I suspect Crosby will be gone before the weekend, but there have to be some bigger questions asked. Some of the recent signings have been questionable at best… I don’t mean to kick the bloke when he’s down but we’re 1-0 down at 93 mins and Ryan Loft doesn’t even contest a cross at the edge of the 6-yard box.

Looking at an attack of Uche, Garrity, Chislett, Devine, Arblaster (while we have him) we shouldn’t be struggling for goals.

give it a rest you!!! his record was better than our current run so why is AC still here??? Clarke got us promoted, and although we went on a poor run it was still ruthless if you ask me
