Stevenage (H) match thread - 10th Feb

[andy jones]

Listening to Ale & Vale podcast and Jonny is totally right ...

Go four at the back with 4 actual defenders and stop conceding.

Agree completely.

 

[Brian Johnson]

Anybody listened to Steve Evans preview for Saturday?

Not sure which Port Vale he's been watching. Its not the one based out of Burslem

 

 

 

 

[Rory]

Very very strange. He clearly hasn't got a clue what he's talking about but he says it with gusto and confidence.

[Jeffporthill]

I would think about playing Jason Leutwiler in goal and Ripley in midfield, at least we would get a few balls going forward,

The more I think about this the better it looks. Can you see Ripley putting a few good balls in for Loft and Wilson, that's what's missing right now.

[Biddulph_PV]

The takeaways from that interview:

1) He has a weird face

2) He has a weird accent 

3) He has a weird idea of a what “putting the blockers up” means because Orient certainly didn’t do that

4) He has a weird idea of what us “causing the big teams problems” is. If he considers the definition of this having a grand total of ZERO shots on target in the home games against Derby, Bolton and Boro the I retract this comment

Puddled, absolutely puddled. The perfect fit 🤡 🤡 🤡

I’ll tell you one thing, I’d sooner see Nathan Smith up front than Ryan Loft. Especially has Smith also has a better goal scoring record.

No Loft fan and he has been an awful signing so far but in the last 2 games, he has been far better than Wilson who does not seem interested.

Completely agree. Really the only option is 4-3-3 as follows:

Ripley

Smith-Debra-Pole-Yak

Sang-Ojo-Chislet

Mighten-Wilson-Massey

Just listened to Leon and Phil Bowers on BBC Sounds.  Is it true Vale haven’t bothered with their usual Thursday preview/press conference today ?

Can't see Loft being fit anyway the way he hobbled off on Tuesday

I thought he was doing a Ryan Boot, feigning injury so he could get away from the booing.

I suspect he can't be bothered with media stuff and says anything that'll get him through it with minimum effort. He is annoyed by thins that went on in the Reading game. May just be fed up at the moment with the world. Good.

EDIT:

5) Does he write to the EFL after every game moaning about the ref?
