Crosby was never the issue seemingly it was the recruitment and the ineptness of it we as fans used Crosby as an escape goat when in reality this again falls on Flitcroft listen to Popeys interviews he warned us about his and the amount of rubbish he spouts but we accused him of being butt hurt at the time truth is this is all Flitcrofts fault plain and simple he has not built a league one team he is terrible at his job yeah might be great at getting injured loan players in and building relationships with Prem teams but we built a team around loan players who bugger of after a few months that's where we have failed this is terrible

Crosby was a big issue. We had a decent side before Christmas. He was very poor and you can see a structure now with Moore. But too many coming back or injured.

Why was the goal allowed, their player was nowhere near 10 yds away. It is not up to Smith to wait until he is 10 yds away. He unlawfully intercepted a free kick! Why did Vale.ayers not create with Ref?! Also why did Garrity get told to leave field when the foul on him resulted in a yellow card. Players don't have to leave!  Bit baffled and Ref appears to be getting away with bad mistakes, and Vale.players not picking up on it.

He intercepted it. He didn't block them from taking the free kick. Perfectly legal.

After that start most teams would find it hard to get their confidence back but having said that Vale just don't look  good enough all over the pitch. They seem like they've never played together and totally lacking in confidence and hence movement off the ball.

Come on Vale for heavens sake.

As "Good" as Lincoln have been at keeping the ball and their shape, they've not created much.

Vale are still in this, we just need a spark.

 

My thoughts entirely....we look poor man for man.

A gourmet selection of some of your very insightful posts from just the last 3 weeks.

 

At least 6 of those could have come from your own keyboard. This is what I mean about hypocrisy - I got 2 suspensions...one for being abusive, the second because an admin has a personal problem with me. That's fine - but, as you and Yappy  have just proved...and I've known for a long time...that other people are as abusive, or more so, than me - but because I defend my club, instead of bitching about it all the time...and because there is a minority on here who are genuine gobshites, I'm just called names or labelled a happy clapper - which is no insult, by the way!

Think about your own posts before you call anyone else names, Doha - you've been getting away with it for a long time! UTV VTID KTF TTP

Positives. Their keeper has made a save.

Negatives. It’s general it’s <ovf censored>.

Big half coming up.

We are nowhere near , mate 

These players look like they are 

going through the motions to me 

No fight , no passion & no belief .

I guess it's semantics. What's the difference between a block and an interception? Still less than 9.15m away. Just a personal perception I guess.

4th in the form table over the last 6 games having played Peterborough and derby in that time. 

Ah, didn't know that.

Always had them down as a bit of a drab, no frills mid-table side.

To come out with the same 11 after half time suggests the gaffer is happy with that. Triple sub was needed!

Wilson did show good skill to get off a shot. May have been able to step forward a couple more yards. But watching him at other times he doesn't hold the ball up. Not strong enough and tries to use tricks that don't often come off. Chilslett also trying to dribble in the wrong areas. 

Moore has given PV a proper shape and method. But the players have to be better than they're showing to stay up. 

Some of the players are just not turning up and playing for DM.  Confidence is not there.  Feel for DM trying to get something from this lot and Fraudcroft sold him a pup by not allowing him time to bring a player in or two.

But the question would be - if DM had been here earlier, would Fraudcroft and Co actually got the incoming player to sign.  I very much doubt it.

What was Debrah doing there! Biggest game of the season for me & the worse performance so far

Probably giving them 10 minutes to see what happens after getting a half time chat with them.

It's very annoying I agree. It should just be a generic 10 yard rule in my opinion.

To be fair you can give the same 11 different instructions and then change it if they don’t understand them.

You can but there’s a few who were dreadful that first half they should of been dragged off! Get Loft & planty on with the yak

Can find as many rules as we like, smith should never have tried to play that ball across to Debrah when their player was stood where he was. It was so lazy & daft there’s no excusing it
