Spent £88 big ones for tickets at Stevenage on Saturday. Seems crazy bothering when it is certain the score will be Stevenage 1, 2 or 3 V Vale 0

Massey cost us the game again

One of the worst players I've seen play for Vale

Sproson says Arb er laster was no good second half

Best outfield player I thought

Ripley MOM by a mile

P*ss poor performance against a very average side

it was arblaster who should of played a forward pass instead of giving it to massey, yes masseys clearance was poor but so was smiths reaction to win it after it broke to their forward. Collection of poo led to the goal not just massey

If you truly don't believe there was more behind DCs sacking then you have no empathy and no real understanding of mental health issues. A knuckledragger! We shouldn't still be discussing this! FFS give it a rest!

 Crosby in then yeah? sound 😭

Gareth Ainsworth is not doing a lot at the moment

Why on earth would he want to come and manage us? 🤣🤣🤣

As it was last season as well. He shouldn’t  be here 

To be fair, he is only here 2 days a week 👀

I said Crosby should go after Barnsley and I’ve been vindicated. He is absolutely clueless. 

Loft is a complete disgrace as well.

People need to get angry or get used to League 2, it’s that simple.

Talking as an old PE teacher the one thing that kills yer in sport, any sport not just football, is speed in attack. Frightens defenders to death.....both Shrewsbury's goals on Saturday we wouldn't have scored because they went so quickly. Our defenders couldn't cope, mentally or physically and there you go 2-0 up. We don't attack like that, even when it's on.....slow, ponderous build up, defenders get back and don't have to quick quick decisions which often end up being rash ones...like we do.

CB get up to VP and give them all the cane. 

-13 goal difference 😮‍💨

Some of this anger has to be about the running of the club. No football nous in the exec area and noone to really take a seperate view to Carol and Flitcroft. The trust in Flitcroft  by Carol is excessive and is at the root of this.

Most came from our first game.  

However, we will not bring that difference down as we can't score, so will only go up with AC in charge.

16th September was the last time we won in the league…. Soak that in! [emoji30][emoji30]🤯

Rory, the games over. It ended about 10 minutes ago

GET IT IN THE BOX!

The most toothless Vale side I've ever watched.  

I could play number 9 for us and we'd be no worse off.

What a joke.

To have us messing about with uche and loft as our forwards is absolutely criminal.

If Crosby wanted loft, he should be sacked purely for that.

If Carol was only willing to stump enough cash up to bring him in then, well, we're screwed.

We all know the lack of strikers in the summer is the problem, it was plainly obvious in pre season. Any DOF with oxygen going to their brain must have raised alarm bells over that. I just don’t get why Flitcroft is getting an easy ride over this, there has to be more scrutiny over decisions. What or who is scouting these days? Because they clearly have no idea over strikers. 
 

Even so the budget was blatantly cut this season and all the fans wailing it wasn’t can clearly see all the clues were there. The quality players are the loan signings and the rest are league 2 signings that would have attracted a single league 1 club. 
 

Some of the signings even Smurfwaite would be ashamed of. Loft gives me serious Patterson vibes and I don’t mean Sir Les. 

Opening day aside I've not yet seen a side blow us away, the quality of the league this year is so poor. Such fine margins & we're unfortunately falling the wrong side of them all & it's our own doing.

Derby looked so average. We've gifted them a win. Most frustrating thing is that L1 is there for the taking for some of the smaller clubs to have had a real shot at the top 6 this season, as Stevenage are proving; & instead we find ourselves in a <ovf censored> relegation scrap... & we've not even hit our annual Christmas slump yet neither.

We are playing a wingback system & don't have a single fit wingback on the books, which in itself is a total farce from a recruitment perspective. We have two bright young lads in the middle who I'm sure will go on to have great careers, but we're simply being overpowered & we look so powder puff, it's literally like watching men against boys at times.

There's obviously nothing up top. Nobody wants to shoot. He's playing Sang (our best player by an absolute mile currently) out on the left & then switches him to the right as soon as we concede the goal. What game is he watching!?

He persists with this keep ball mentality at all costs. Well guess what Andy, that mentality you've drummed into the players has cost us yet again this evening. It was clear as day that it was too tight to be playing in that position in our own half, we've given it away & boom they've scored the winning goal. Absolute travesty.

He's playing Smith... our most consistent player for the past decade... out of the central position he's comfortable in. You've got fans favourite Yak on the left, the bloke is League 2 standard at best & then Lowe in the middle, another League 2 player who Salford let go.

I could go on. But I won't. Lost the faith completely. Some absolutely absurd tactics & decision making, as well as some absolutely stinking recruitment based on the style we've said we want to play.

We're going down.
