Cheltenham (A) match thread - 17th Feb

[Phantom Lord]

As crank as the players are, there is no change in any tactics since Crosby. What's the point in bringing in Moore if Faultcroft is still going to be running the show- maybe?

[JoeB2]

We can say sensible things like “Moore needs time”, but he doesn’t have any.

He needs to fairly rapidly improve a club from one that has been the worst in League 1 for 14 months into one that is competent.

Flitcroft has set fire to the 23/24 season with a poor managerial appointment, delaying the sacking, and incompetence in the market - and has now sent Moore inside in order to save the inhabitants, with very little to work with. He’s a firefighter who needs immediate results. 

Meanwhile, DF stands outside doing interviews saying he tries 9 different routes to get inside, but they all magically failed - but that’s not his fault. He’s already talking about rebuilding the house he set fire to, with a new pool. 

A huge, huge job for Moore. I’m not sure the squad is good enough.

MOM Tom Pett - the player who wasn’t good enough for us...

[Vtid]

Boooooooo! These donkeys need to have a good hard look at themselves!!! 

[Southern_Valiant]

We have 2 players who are footballers in a starting 11 9 players who can't pass a ball or can pick a pass on that pitch get destroyed by Pett in the middle of the park who was deemed not good enough by fraudcroft tbh we will be relegated I'm ok with that what I'm not ok with is the way our decisions makers have gone about this season it's being mismanaged and no matter how many podcasts he does spouting his rubbish this is down to Flitcroft and no one else 

[osprey]

That didn’t go well 

[Doha]

Reality might peek through in the boardroom when the off a cliff ST renewal figures come in.

Wasn’t good enough for Flitcroft you mean?

[KEV.WILLIE]

So , Moore has come in, we've got the same players and are using the same system 🤔 

And the definition of madness is?? 

 

[PVFC764]

Quality in the Vale side.  What the f..k is the Radio Sjoke commentator talking about.  Same rubbish, different date.

[Jim Gammon]

Utter rubbish. I like Adam Yates commentary “opens them up like a mouldy tin of Sardines” which sums up how poor they were. 

[Sam Kelly's Left Boot]

kin shìte, again.

We are not and never will be a Man City with these players and in this league.

 

On the flip side, our defending is that bad the less of the ball the opposition can have the better.

Think we will have to go 5 at the back and shift to a 3 when we grow into a game. We shouldn't have lost today. 

Good 30 minutes but after that we just lost all control over the game. Even our second was a chance out of nothing.

[pvfc1994]

It'll take a miracle to keep us in this league. Too lightweight, too many square pegs in round holes, too reliant on a formation that hasn't worked for the past 18 months.

Crosby was a scapegoat. If Moore is going to manage properly then Flitcroft needs to go.

 

If the Shanahans can't deal with that then maybe they need to reconsider why they want to run the club.
