We’ve had a pretty decent plan and bar a deflection go in at 0-0.

Only through sheer luck, they should have at scored at least 3 from the clear opportunities they've had. It is not the case that the goal was the first time they broke us down, we've been hanging on all game.

[Powerline]

And Lowe is absolute garbage, give me Debrah any day.

Really don’t see how we can be critical. If we opened up against these we’d get turned over.

I’m heartened. Moore can set a team up and if we scrap like we have done first-half then we’ll have a good chance in all three home games.

We could be about to get turned over anyway and should be three down.

PV has had one shot and it was off target. Need to change something up front. 

[Vtid]

If anyone actually thinks it wasn’t going to be back to the walls stuff tonight they’re deluded. Yes with a lot of luck the game plan almost worked first half, we’ve had moments on the break where I feel Chizzy & dipepa could make a difference. Keep up the effort lads 💪🏻

Another loss of concentration costs us.

[Valiiant]

 

We've done about as well as can be expected but it's really next to nothing. We look like a mid-table League Two side in comparison. No quality at all in any area of the pitch. Huge rebuild required in the summer.

Lowe is still shyte though 👍

Yep. A whole professional career shyte. Wish I'd been that shyte

One positive for me under Moore is the Yak. He’s been much improved, smith as well recently. I think we need to get to 60/70 mins at 1-0 and then go for it 

[Biddulph_PV]

So typical of Vale that, do all the hard work the switch off right at the wrong time. Moore must be doing his nut in. Hard to know what to do now, surely these will tire??? Irrespective it’s hard to see us getting anything now 😩

[osprey]

Need to put Chislet on for Walter’s 

and get Massey of as well 

[fraggle]

Not good enough. Boring and negative. Plant getting shown up, absolutely honking performance (not his fault as not a wing back). 

Probably 3 players not even near it, Massey, Walters and Plant. They are no where near good enough in a game like this, where you have to scrap and fight, I’d wonder if walters and plant have had 10 touches between them?

Exactly that.

And this game isn't over yet, despite the fact that Peterborough completely bossed the first half.

More of the same from Vale to start the second half, then re-form more attacking in the last 30 minutes to try to nick something.

A League Two side didn't want him and yet we went and signed him. Make it make any sense.

[Bimbleabout]

Play with fire, you get burnt. No way in a million years were we not going to conceed.
Kind of understand why we are set up like this but surely it's fantasy to think we will hold out for 90 mins, especially after this season, I mean it's not as if we haven't seen it happen before.
Oh well. Stick or twist time. Push for an equaliser or stay as we are in a vain attempt to keep the goal difference down.
I know which one I would like to see us doing.
