I agree although neither look much good lately they are both a better option than Lowe. 

I’d rather see Lowe at the back with Lopata and Debrah either side of him with Sang in midfield.

Come off it. 

Many were grateful to the owners when they 'saved' the club as you put it. 

But time moves on and lots of water passed under the bridge. No movement in the January windows, players leaving left right and centre, exclusivity shown to small percentages of the fan base whilst many others paying top dollar prices to get wet walking to a portacabin

No investment on the playing side, abstract letters defending the indefensible. 

Where is Port Vale going as a club? Why should supporters renew their sts if there is no effort or ambition or let's face it, transparency from the dof.

 

Disgusting how the fans are treat at the moment. 

If you’ve got a brain you’ll still be grateful to our owner.  They did save the club and continue to pump their own money in.

The fundamental issue is player recruitment, where money has been spent but the key areas are still lacking, massively so up front.

The portacabin situation is a recent and temporary situation, an inconvenience.

I’ll still renew our ST’s come what may.  Rough with the smooth and all that.👍🏻

Looks like we will need a clean sheet to get anything out of this game as I can not see where a goal is going to come from.

I’d rather see Lowe on the bench to be honest but we are so threadbare right now. The yak been bombed out and understandably as he’s been poor since his return from injury but so have many & are fortunate to make the 18 in my eyes

Of course.

 

But many 'with a brain' understand the poor context of the situation the club is in. Some do not,but appear to be in a minority.

The ultimate investment has to be the team. 'Pumping money in or not'...it won't make a difference when relaegation comes along and a full season of lost revenue meaning no return on investment..

 

Enjoy the match

Got to say that with the injury list we have and the abysmal window i would today abandon, for one game at least, 3-5-2 and change to any alternative system that would catch Stevenage by surprise.

Go out there with inferior players playing what they expect us to play (3-5-2) and its not going to be worth leaving the pub. 

Another game gone but no more points on the board.

I'm concerned the team won't be able to keep the ball. I'm further concerned if Wilson tries to play traditional striker he's going to get done and be off after half an hour. On the otherhand maybe our temp manager has a masterplan that will work.

Phil Sproson says Vale park is too wide to play 3 at the back unless you have pace which we haven't got 😳 

Expecting relegation now , so will just sit back and relax.

Amazed him and Yates never had a crack at management given their wisdom on Radio Lard.

Look it is what it is.  We are struggling badly but I will be there today and every match I can attend.  Certainly don't want us to be relegated but even if we are will still be a season ticket holder because vale have been part of my life for 60 years. Some of you need to decide if you support the club or not.  Carol we owe everything to.  Who else would have put so much of her own money in otherwise.  If you want a multi millionaire to invest look how that has gone at the sjoke.  I'm a vale fan and the <ovf censored> which some people spout about Carol is disgusting  all of you should remember without Carol we would not have a club. 

Anyway rant over and hoppers hope you are in good voice because don't think there will be many of us there today.

Just warming them up now Corbs - and my vocal chords 😍😍😍😍

I know Lowe in Center midfield isn’t the best of options, but is Sang really any better in there? 

[Southern_Valiant]

Being saying the exact same thing as a fan for the majority of the season the system we play don't work with the personal we have Sproey and Yatesy are bang on in what they say

No but it's his correct position. 

Lowe and Sang both epitomise a utility player. Make do and mend. 

[darren1810]

Unable to get to either game this week as I'm recuperating from an operation. 

So sat from the comfort of my settee. What's going on with the pitch it looks awful.
