Given the current circumstamces regarding manager(less), injuries etc., it will do us a big favour if it is called off!

They fixed the damn pitch. We had a monsoon hour after hour before Tuesday's game. It's Flickers and Carol's fault if this game goes ahead.

Got to go 4 at the back now I think to get out of it, we are too open at home with 3 and the lack of quality full backs.

Might be an Aspin level 4 centre half back line though!

I would likely go 3 up front, Willo or Loft down the middle with Mighten and either Chislett or Massey wide on the front three

Ojo, Weir and Sang in the middle or could go Ojo, Sang, then Chislett further forward.

Well radio Stoke said "a committee of club staff" picked the team on Tuesday so who knows.

[OtterVale]

It's a difficult one after the dismal showing against Orient but I would go with:

                             Ripley

Deborah.   Smith.     Lopata.     Grant

           Sang.             Ojo.               Weir

           Chislett.       Wilson.       Mighten

Was Loft actually injured do we know or squirmed off in embarrassment after his air kick ?

I think we need to be careful about picking on Loft. I had him down for a couple of mistakes on Tuesday. I know I want a forward to score goals. But the whole team needs to improve. That includes one of our best players Chislett not giving the ball away coming out of defence. Someone actually making a tackle. If we are going to boot the ball up the pitch from Ripley, he doesn't need two helpers next to him. Etc. Etc.

He pulled up about 5 mins before he eventually sat down just before he limped off. Calf/Ankle by the looks of it

He did put the effort in and for a professional footballer that is the bare minimum, but he’s just not good enough unfortunately UTV

I’m not saying he was great or the way forward but at least he seemed to show more effort than others

Probnably Carol's fault too that we've had so much precipitation!  Who'd be a football club owner eh?

Surely they not going into another game with the 3 from other night .

Deary me the academy bloke Ryder was creaming himself over Loft winning headers and they told him to peel off and do that 

Wow watching it was about as exciting as watching paint dry as he was heading it on to no one fair enough if its in 6 yard box and the balls hitting  the net .

What kind of tactics are these also the one where they are constantly been outmanoevred by the opposition went well .

I've spoke to a few Vale supporting folk at work who are season ticket holders and none are going tomoz just my lad and whoever uses my season ticket probably his auntie .

I'm.glad I'm.missing it if we do not have someone in today .

Time is critical and the new managers appointment needs be pronto .

No pre match presser .

You cannot hide .

God loves a tryer 

But Lofty just isn't cut out for L1 

he isn’t fit for Sunday league

I reckon we need to play the match as we don't want to increase the complacency at the club n that with so many games in hand we have nothing to worry about as Flitcroft's dismissal of a supporters concern of relegation when voiced at the fans meeting suggested.

[MBE]

Has to be back to basics with 4 at the back for me. I’ve been saying it a while now but persisting with WB’s when you don’t have any is bloody stupid. I’d happily take  0-0 .

Ripley

Deb Smudg Kaspar Yak

Sang Ojo Grant

Massey Wilo Mighten

 

[Valient1961]

Besides the air kick I seem to remember Loft trying a back heel near the paddock and it hit his standing leg 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ like I’ve said in earlier post he’s just not good enough unfortunately UTV
