Must be on crack... but I'll be travelling down for it

But Grant is not a left back. He’s always played left midfield or LWB throughout his career and given his woeful defensive efforts yesterday, there’s no way I’d play him there. 

That lad's confidence is on it's backside.

He can't beat an egg at the moment let alone a player. Multiple times yesterday he showed for the ball in space and players instead ran into trouble rather than hand the ball off to him.

When he did get it, he lost it, begs a question as to why he's so lacking in confidence.

All the swapping and changing Saturday, not signing any forwards, signing a winger tells me that we don't have any direction. So, just faffing about with a couple of formations. But as you would expect, there's going to be square pegs in round holes:

First up: 4231

                              Rips

Sang.           Jesse.        Polish.      Jones (if he is still alive)

                         Ojo         Grant (as I'm told Gore is out)

Massey.                Chiz.                 Mighten

                             Wilson

Second up: 433

                              Rips

Sang.          Jesse.     Polish.      Jones

                         Ojo

                                      Weir

                          Chiz

Massey.              Wilson.        Mighten

I quite liked how Portsmouth played the 4231. Two decent holding midfielders and two quick wide men. Problem is we'll go 352 and not have a shot on goal. Feel like we're directionless.

No way Dan Jones will be straight back in. He has to serve his ten matches on the bench. It’s the Port Vale way.

[Old School]

Sadly I don't think it matters much if at all what team is picked, as Crosby has shown that he just cannot get a performance from them and his tactics are quite frankly beyond belief. Against Portsmouth we stood off and gave them the freedom of Vale Park to do as they wished. You would think that sitting deep would have made it more difficult for Portsmouth to get amongst us. In actual fact they played through us so easily it was embarrassing. We all know the definition of insanity and our tactics this season easily qualify. Something has to change and in football that means the manager and in our case the dof also.

Rudgie until the end of the season?

Just for clarity please.

When people are referring to the defence containing The Big Pole or the Pole.

I think it'd probably be more of a distraction than our defenders have been.

Bit left field yes. But I'm in.

Working Tues night so at present will not be in attendance 

Too much of a rush finish game at 20 to 10 be work by 10 I'd go in a hr later but I'm.not really bothered about going after watching the last home game .

It was absolutely terrible,yesterday took terrible too a new level , mind you I am on standby for night off if get it off may go,  but even then I say  because of last 2 performances and think do they deserve my support I'd say if your a season ticket holder you already paid your way I have twice for me and my lad so if I don't attend financially doesn't matter.

I lose out the club ain't and I haven't wasted my time going if those 2 last performances are a guide to Tuesdays game then we already lost.

But football doesnt work like that .

So hope they win and if we get a early goal  be the team to only go in opposition half twice in one half and score with first raid then gain confidence from that to what they should do destroy Leyton Orient.

Totally agree. Add to that the first two goals came down his side yesterday and we have a problem.

And factor in the equation he's cack. 

Although no worse than the others .

Exactly wouldn’t do any worse than the yak of late. and can pick a pass

[MBE]

Ripley,Smudge,Ojo,Mighten,Chizzy.

The rest of the players can <ovf censored> right off.
 

The remainder of the team will be made of the halftime Autonet Challenge winners from last season so please bring your boots. 

Shorrock,Dipepa,Lomax,Walter’s and LS stand row J seat 75 stand will be half time subs because the medical department reliably inform me Autonet winners can only give us 45 because they have barely played any minutes in PDSL Division 4 game in the last 20 years.
