What on earth was that? 😞 

[Doha]

Moore's going to need a lot of carrots to deal with this troupe of donkeys.

We're not allowed to discuss who's to blame for the recruitment though are we.

Groundhog day.

Have to bring a free agent in this week! 

 

Agent? I'd take Johnny English at the back as he can't be any worse than the neanderthals we have to play there every week.

I can't ever remember a Vale new manager bounce actually.

John Mgrath struggled, Rudgy had a dodgy start, can't remember Hortons start, Adams was our first manager to switch to 5 at the back to make us hard to beat as we were struggling that badly  surely big Jim Gannon didn't bounce? DC lost i think 3-1 at Northants with our Lucas sent off?

Askey / glover / sinnott struggled all through their reigns  did the Tin man have a bounce?  Can't remember Gordon Lees start but in my head I think caretaker Alan Bloor had a mini bounce before we got rid of him!!

I guess we are due one which would be handy given our league position.

You're possibly correct in this. However, we have been on the receiving end of "management bounce" on numerous occasions.  As you say, it would be very useful for us if these trends can be reversed on Saturday!

Well, I really hope Moore hasn’t been making the calls today- poor team selection, crap tactics along with crazy substitutions.

Stop! You'll make his children cry!

Oh <ovf censored> off! Just relegate us and be done with it. Fresh start in the summer. The whole club needs a <ovf censored> spring clean from top to bottom.

[osprey]

Moore will probably resign tonight 

[Vtid]

Yep we’re getting relegated this squad is not good enough. Only Ripley, Ojo, garrity & Chislet I’d keep. The rest can fuk off & steal a wage off someone else 

[worldsendvalefan]

We have a really, really poor squad. Flitcroft has been responsible for recruitment for the last two years. This is down to him

[Bycarsbill]

For goodness sake, what's happened to our defending again? We've been leaking like a sieve all season.  I just hope our new manager can put his considerable defensive experience to good use!

[Southern_Valiant]

Our players are absolutely sh1te embarrassment to the shirt we haven't strung 3 passes together in the opposition half all game get rid of this formation it's atrocious 

[osprey]

Can we swop managers 

[ValeForever.]

We're an absolute banter club aren't we. Winning twice & letting it slip, then losing. It's so predictable. 

DM has a massive job on to keep us up. DC will keep these without a doubt.
