Two games in hand. 2 very winnable home games. All is not lost folks.

It's not over yet. 15 games is a lot when there are only five points in it from safety.

 

The home games will be the deciders. Lincoln is a definite game where anything less than a point is not good enough.

I think it’s a case of, keep us up, looks a genius, get relegated not his fault and will leave. Just don’t see him in league 2 

Exactly this mate 👍🏻

Can someone explain to me how David Flitcroft was responsible for everything football related on a part-time basis, please?

What happened on the days he wasn't in?

Don't ask that, you'll get piled on like I did when I dared to bring it up last year.

And whilst we’re at it can we get rid of the d**k head test and actually sign some d**k heads? I’d rather some characters in our team than a squad full of the nicest people in the world. 

Only Garrity and Ripley are winners and will fight for the shirt. 

The rest are why we are where we are. I wouldn’t want to be in the trenches with any of them. 

The club from top to bottom is too nice and it’s reflecting on the pitch.

We didn’t scrimp around - payed 70k for loft! 🤣

That’s what I said. Penny pinching THEN panic splurging. Ultimately costing more because the budget isn’t managed correctly.

Since I became Chair of Port Vale I have made mistakes. Appointing Dave Flitcroft is not one of them.

Not realising appointing Flitcroft was a mistake is Carol's biggest mistake of all.

The American forces have not entered Burslem

DM saying they did a classroom lesson.  Give them lines.  We must play better and concentrate.

[theresonlyonemcphee]

Moore pleased with that, especially as we’ve only had 1 hour (+ 2 classroom sessions) on the training pitch to work on the new shape…

1 hour???

I liked the back four, i liked the concept and it worked for the long period.

Off went Jones, on come Grant and then the floodgates opened down the right.

I feared Lowe would struggle with the pace and athleticism of their midfield, once Savage came on he was always going to struggle with the second balls.

I can't really blame Darren Moore for tonight, he just simply hasn't got enough depth and flexibility in that squad and that is not his fault.

Can we get a left back and a striker in before saturday?

I’d take most of them over this list. De Freitas and Knops were decent players. 

 

I'd certainly take Amoros over Lowe in midfield too, the handsome bastard.

Am I right in thinking that Carol pointed the Plymouth way as a club to emulate ? Despite them always having the capability of double our gates .

They consolidated, then lost out on the last day to make play offs, then won the title.

Can't imagine they had no strikers and were an absolute embarrassment for months on end.

Positives 4 at the back untill Jones left we look better -Mighty looks a handful - Loft worked hard missed a sitter but he’s deffo playing for the shirt -sang decent game .

Negatives- Toothless in front of goal - no luck undone by a wonder goal -Connor Grant -lack of left back options
