Likely spent most of the week in rented hotel conference rooms to do interviews and assessments. Not in a position to pick the team. 

Yeah wasting more money which could have gone on the 1st team budget.

Steve Evans: Andy Crosby did a brilliant job at Port Vale

What is Evans on ? We were the better team against Pompey and Orient put up the blockers? They both totally dominated each game. 

He’s definitely not on the dust with them 15 chins! My guess would be laced up chocolate brownies

That’s soon come round! Match day ⚽️ I was hoping for the new gaffer to be appointed by now but what do I know. Let’s show some fight today Vale, get stuck in & the fans will will be right behind you 💪🏻 scrappy 1-1… Chislet to bag

[Vale Fan 78]

Has to be 4 at the back today the 3 has been killing us as there are gaps everywhere.

Got to tighten up and hope to nick a 1-0 cus god knows where the goals are coming from.

I can't see anything other than a Stevenage win to be honest. We have a depleted squad of players who don't really seem that bothered any more. Having the academy guy in charge is not really going to inspire them. Wilson looks totally disinterested, Chislett tries but spends too much time falling over trying to get free kicks and Loft is devoid of any confidence. Ojo is still getting back up to speed as is Dan Jones. New defender looks like he might be OK but he has only just arrived and has played alongside several different centre halves already in his one game. Weir still looks like a first year in his first week at big school.

When you put it like that it’s an easy 3 points then 😅

Well the weather hasn't saved them today not playing .

Hope they can at least run a lot harder than what they have been doing .

I always have a theory on teams who's players all of a sudden stop playing well its either they ain't going get the bonuses or something money related or they just ain't very good .

Chislett Wilson are very good on there day and today if selected they need be .

Not much else say I'm off to my glamping 3 nighter and I may do something i haven't done for many a year not look at the score .

I'm losing interest every season around this time we turn into a circus 🎪. 

Good luck to the team they will need against them Stevenage who's manager gets his players at it gamely and they will keep coming .

On the plus side Connor Ripley looks like he is trying...

Do we think we’ll surpass 5k home fans today? 

Depressing that I’m asking that question actually.

Fans that are disgruntled and have tried to get their points over verbally during games and on social media who believe they are not being listened to will now start to vote with their feet.

Whether or not the club are/have listened and are acting accordingly, we should probably know early next week I guess.

Finances are, it would seem at 'rock bottom' and if the bean counters at Synectics have put a stop on further loans then surely investment from elsewhere must be forthcoming.

I figure fans will only start to return when they see a marked improvement on the pitch, hopefully a new broom can provide that, but I genuinely think this current crop of players need one hell of a boost to turn things around, lets hope today we can see some shoots of recovery. 

One thing that virtually every football fan of any club will expect as a minimum is effort and commitment, we can all accept defeat if the players have given their all - today, I want to see that from every one of them.

Heart says 2-1, but I'll take a point.

Did you know Steve Evans is utterly insane?

Of course all their wins are hard earned, he is not going to say his team have an easy game coming up.

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 

I agree he is possibly the worst striker I have seen at the club since supporting them; he wouldn’t get in a Sunday lside in my and my friends opinions 

[Jim Gammon]

I dispair if they pick Loft again. He couldn’t score against Bluestone Avenue rangers under 12’s team
