Portsmouth (H) match thread - 27th Jan

[saintvaliant]

Robbed of a point we wouldn’t have really deserved over 90 mins.

Portsmouth were by a distance the better side and would have been kicking themselves if they hadn’t won the game.

3 at the back just doesn’t work.

Managers have been sacked for less then AC and he is still in post.

Can only see us loosing the other 2 games and in a relegation battle.

When will the board and Flitcroft see this.

Probably before it'd too late , mate

Feb is going to be a massive month for us,that's for sure.

Nothing I have seen today makes me think we will stay up this season. I think vale have f’d up again this window and gambled on bringing in untried players to try and keep us up. It’s not going to work and they have said they won’t be solving the strikers issue until the summer….and with Uche injured long term we are absolutely f’d

[PVFC764]

Vale fans can put up with loosing if the side actually looks like they are putting some effort in and trying.

Today they just rolled over and said rub our tummies.

Absolutely shocking. Yet again. Sick of watching this utter tripe and our only answer is to sign a few more kids on loan. Weir and gore looked way short of the standard today. Extremely early days and they shouldn’t be put in there together against top of the league, but they both really struggled. Chislett did well, Shorrock was excellent as was Ripley but other than that dreadful. Dropping like a stone. We have to get some decent players in otherwise we will drop. 
 

I’ll keep saying it and have my tin hat ready. Andy Crosby needs to go and we need to actually sign someone who can make an impact and improve us.

From the forum on Thursday I don't think anyone at the club is considering relegation. No permanent signings this window, no striker, but hey, we have a decent restaurant and youth team.

Make no mistake, we're in a relegation scrap.

Loft our main striker now 

good God 🙁

[Warren]

That was a foul as far as I can see. Should not have got to the pen. 

[Vtid]

we got exactly what we deserved today that was bloody awful Vale. Without readings point deduction we would be in the relegation zone now. With a front line of Wilson, Loft & dipepa now Uche is out & a back line of Lowe & Grant it's very worrying. Not sure what people are on about regarding the penalty it was clear as day. Such a sloppy challenge 

[Powerline]

Where are all the people who were saying Crosby is doing a good job, we’re mid table, what do you expect etc.?? 

Hope you’re happy. Was incredibly obvious we have a clueless, totally inept clown in charge who’s taking us down.

We are now 20th and only 3 points clear. Next week we if we lose to fleetwood (which I doubt would surprise anybody), we could be in the bottom 4. 

[CambridgeDon]

We might have expected to lose to the top of the league but, despite all our injuries, the manner of this defeat is just unacceptable.

The plan isn't working, is it? We need to make the squad our biggest spending priority - above absolutely everything else - or we are going to have the best facilities in League Two. 

And the starting point should be to get some leadership on and off the pitch, starting with the manager.

What are the odds on that, I wonder?

You could say the last couple of seasons have been injury tsunami.

I can't disagree! What's up with our medical team?

That is sooooooooooooooo worrying.  But the board and AC will think he is the best striker and can do it and we don't need anyone.

Another worrying transfer window where we don't bring in a striker.  But hay we are looking abroad next season for strikers who can play in Div 2 as that is where we will end up this season.
