Stevenage (H) match thread - 10th Feb

[robf]

This is the thread for discussion of the home game against Stevenage. 

[Vale1995]

Another likely 3 points incoming. Again another cracking performance last night . Stevenage will be crapping themselves watching the tapes from last night.

Stevenage won’t have an easier game all season. 0-4 

Id even be tempted to not pick a striker, that’s how bad our options are. I’d probably give Wilson one last chance, if there is no effort again then that’s him done at the vale. 
 

Ripley

Massey Smith Lopata Grant

Ojo Sang

Mighten Chislett Shorrock

Wilson

Another Saturday afternoon ruined no doubt.

[robf]

It's so depressing that there's so few options when it comes to the team. 

The defence options increasingly resembles re-arranging the deckchairs on the Titanic.

Upfront - whoever we pick doesn't look a threat. The only players who posed a goal threat on Tuesday were Chislett and Shorrock. 

I think Ryan Loft did at least put some effort in on Tuesday but yet again it was another 90 mins from him without a single effort on goal. A six foot odd striker couldn't get a header on target or put even a weak shot in. That's truly abysmal in terms of goal threat.

The best outcome here would be heavy snow. Least the weekend would be ruined.

We are asking for a battering considering Pompey and Orient both should of hit 5-6 we won't keep getting away with that.

I'm away in middle Wales .

Good luck to the team .

After last night I wouldn't play Wilson personally .

But everyone to there own .

Enjoy the game against another team who play to win and run forwards

At least Carol and Mr Evan’s get to have another chat

My team not that it matters as it will not be 

        Ripley

Cass (recalled )Lopaco Jones 

Sang   Ojo Grant.  Weir Chislett  

                 Bipepa 

                 Debrah 

In the last 3 games the only goal we have scored which should have stood v Fleetwood Debrah banged it in .

So we have now reached a critical time where we cannot have players hiding .

Grant would be better in the position he supposed play Central midfield .

Dipepa runs about and that's the least our suffering fans expect he also makes challenges .

I think the new centre half did OK but wouldn't be unhappy if selected Smith ,Smith and Jones at times last season did OK together .

I know fans don't rate Jones on this website but at least the lad plays forwards

Shorrock need beef up a bit I wouldn't be playing him.again unless a 20 minute cameo off bench.

Other than that if I was going dont want see Loft and Wilson in a Vale shirt again .

Wilson has hid when we need him show his quality to show nothing for 3 games well I see why he limps off 

Loft has no goal attempts is not quick enough be a first line of defence and generally what entertainment value as he given in however many minutes he as played

Would genuinely like to know what they talk about. I know Evans was likely just buffering her up with an eye on potentially managing us if in the future if it suited him, well that won't be happening for a while

Players who should play

Ripley in goal

Polish lad at centre back

Ojo as holding midfielder

Chis centrally behind striker

Wilson as the poacher like he was against Swindon and Mansfield in playoffs

Mighton as a left sided winger

Then build the rest of the team around them and that system. I think its 4 2 3 1 personally 

Ripley

Lowe / Smith / Polish lad / Jones

Ojo / Walters

Massey (if we had any other option I would) / Chis / Mighton

Wilson

Subs;

Rotweiler
Dipepa
Debrah
Sang
Loft
Shorrock
Weir

About as good as it gets but we will get hammered.

[Vale1995]

Be interesting atmosphere when we go 1:0 down 

[Andy Proctor]

Stevenage didn't even play well at vale park and still managed score 3 goals and beat us on penalties earlier in the season. Given how crap we are it will either be a 1 nil loss with Ripley keeping the score down with some good saves or 3 or 4 nil to Stevenage. I've decided not to go this game which isn't an easy decision for me but vale is meant be my one enjoyment in life and there's nothing to enjoy in it at the moment so won't bother going until a new manager is appointed.
