Go listen to the pv podcast. I wondered why we had a bad window and he explains why for about 30 mins.

Yes he explained in detail his <ovf censored> was strategy. He failed. 

And It wasn’t just a bloody striker which was required either. We have a very poor unbalanced squad which is physically and mentally weak.

If it’s Crosby or now Darren Moore to be left bringing on kids in a relegation battle is just negligent of the person in charge of recruiting players.

I agree. We need to give 4 at the back a chance we are to easily overrun with 3 and its so easy to get past the wing back. To many players playing out of position 

4 at the back 6 at the back.  Why get hung up on formations when the real reasons we’re conceding goals are far more basic?  Marking.  Tracking runners.  Winning the first ball.  Winning second balls.  Laying your body on the line to block a shot or cross.  Winning your individual battles.  It’s Lads n Dads stuff and we’re 💩 at it.

It's all on Garrity mate. Mitch Clark was hardly pulling up any trees anyway. 

Garrity has the season on his shoulders. 

Mitch hardly played under Crosby and then got injured in a <ovf censored> pizza game. Crosby obviously didn't like him. Probably because he's got a nasty streak about him and flys into a few tackles. We don't want any of that here thank you.

How long will it take for DM to assess the players, including the returning injured. Form them into an effective team, maybe with a couple of additions. Demonstrate his motivation skills and produce some points?

We needed 2 strikers and one wing back as a minimum requirement we got nothing. 

Scandalous.

Remember giving Dan Jones (failed to hit 50% of minutes in last two seasons) a 2 year deal because he stood out in the data, or something?

But we got CLOSE on a couple. What more do you want. Get behind the lads ffs. 😡

[Spunk Trumpet]

And finally… after years of not being on here….. we are just dead nice aren’t we? Do we tackle? Do we smash the opposition striker or winger in the first few minutes? Do we sprint (Chisnall apart) and run for every 50:50 ball? Do we care? Do we have pride and passion?

Jason Lowe. Crap.

Gavin Massey. Crap.

Nathan Smith. Crap.

Ryan Loft. Crap.

James Wilson. Pains me to say…. Crap.

Funso Ojo. Crap.

And if your senior players can’t give a toss, and I sincerely hope they read this, then just <ovf censored> off because as senior members of the squad you’re not showing <ovf censored> all!

Id be ashamed to pick up my wage.

We have turned into an under 23 side who pass pass pass and haven’t a clue at what real passion is for this football club.

So stick that on your <ovf censored> dressing room wall Darren Moore and put a <ovf censored> rocket up their non existent arses because the senior players in this squad are nothing short of a <ovf censored> disgrace.

Data where ? The treatment room ?

Or was it that lethal long throw that creates monumental amounts of goal attempts ?

Don't hold back...

The only straw clutching I can manage is that Clarke was probably the worst manager DM could face as he probably knows many in the current Vale team more than DM does.

Football very emotional game.

I've just thrown my toys out of the pram and cut my nose off to spite my face by saying I'm not going to Derby with my mates.

It's draining me and I can't bear the thought of a thrashing there with 25'000 laughing at us. Pathetic for a grown man but it's sucking the life out of me. That's how I'm feeling. Sad I know.

If you don’t pass the ball to Wilson he’s impotent, we not passed to him to day at all
