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.

Happens a lot in the final minutes of the game- team loosing sends their goal keeper up.  A keeper goes up and opposition players wonder who will mark them.  Causes confusion and sometimes it pays off and they score.

if it had been  nil all at full time with that display, I would say we had deserved the draw

But have to say Ryan Loft - I am willing him so much to get a goal, but I just shake my head

There's no point analysing this or any other game we play - every other team in the league has us sussed and we must be the softest touch in the EFL. We are bereft of ideas, lack defensive solidity and have absolutely no idea how to create chances, let alone put them away. AC is utterly clueless. 

If three points out of 33 don't spell the end for Crosby, then there is something seriously wrong with the club. Any other club would have had him gone by now but my guess is he'll still be here when we go to Exeter. Tonight, he might argue that Derby are a bigger and better club but if we lose away in Devon and he's not sacked, that will be utterly beyond belief.

Another bullet to bite for our well-meaning owners.

Gutted again. It’s hard to argue with the ‘Crosby Out’ brigade. I think Carol will give him the next 5 games. Over to you AC. 

BB, can we afford to gamble with another 15pts. His style doesn’t work but he still keeps playing the same style, one trick pony. I think he’s intellectually bankrupt when it comes to playing another style and formation

It's through sheer desperation, and usually last kick of the game, wasn't there still 3 minutes to go? Or did Crosby know it was going to be our last chance 😆

I know who I’d prefer as manager. Much more leniency has been given to Crosby there is no denying that. 

Does anybody on hear believe crosby is getting the best out of this group of players?

Okay...I give up. How much is it to join the Grumpy Gits Club? Second half was like watching the 1st team play the cones in training. I thought we did okay first half but second half we couldn't match them.

Can't see where any goal threat is coming from and as I said a few weeks back if Loft is the answer what is the f'ing question??????

I thought AC would be alright but he hasn't cut it and now we're heading down amongst the dead men, I know there's plenty of the season left but the players seem devoid of confidence, don't know why they should have any tbh, and it is all spiralling downwards. Something has to give.....probably AC but what would whoever comes in do with what he's got?

Another depressing Tuesday night.....never mind there's Satdee to look forward to....oh wait

If Ripley can get one on target he should be up for every corner because no one else looks like scoring from them 

Could be interesting week in the Potteries. Both managers could be gone.

Wonder when the last time was, if their was a time, when both Vale & Stoke were without a manager

Probably not but I think it’s time for some to realise the players we have probably aren’t as good as we think and the first few weeks, Barnsley aside have hoodwinked a lot.

Ripley up top & Loft in goal. 

I think for Saturday, it really is worth considering a formation change - put Uche and Ryan upfront together, and try and get Sang on the right whipping the ball in (sorry to the moaners, but he has a great cross in him) - as weve said before, we cant score less than zero and better a cuptie to try something different
