Maybe getting older and fed up with the club going in the right direction and buying into the hype they are getting ValeChampionship ready and then things going wrong and we end up back where we started in Div 2.  With this squad we could easily end up dropping out of Div 2 instead of bouncing right back up. Been there when Vale were doing well and just waiting for it all to go wrong, as it usually does for Vale.

The way the Vale Board are sleep sprinting into Div 2 after being taken in by Fraudcroft.  He came for the managers job and ended up talking a great game and walking out of the interview with the DoF part time and now managed to make it full time.  Why wasn't he told to sort out the recruitment the first time around without strikers.  No we went into the 2nd season without strikers and again this window we have failed to bring in strikers who could possibly keep us up.  While the teams around us bolstered their squads and now putting wins together.  This squad go one behind and heads drop and they look like they think another loss is going to happen.  Confidence is lacking and hopefully DM and staff will sort that out - you can only hope

Carol's open letter basically said the fans mean nothing to her now and we shouldn't voice concerns or ask what the hell is happening at the Vale.  It seems as long as the community stuff doesn't get interfered in, she isn't concerned about what rubbish is being shown on the pitch.  Yes its great to look after the community - Burslem needs it, but it feels she has taken her eye off what is happening on the pitch/recruitment.

A good win or even a scrappy horrible win tomorrow will start the players getting confidence on the pitch and those valuable points between us and the fifth placed team being reduced down as we try to get out of the relegation zone.

All well and good…….but you’ve seen far worse.

I think that you’ve allowed yourself to be overly influenced by social media and internet forums, which are full of dick heads, trolls and self opinionated buffoons, such as myself, which were never part of the equation in the past.  Think on that. 👍🏻

It's not mate

There are a few ways it could work but most likely it's something along the lines of the manager will say he wants a striker (he may not even be asked what they want but would obviously discuss with the manager) and then the DOF will say here are 3 options which should be within our budget and a chance of signing compiled by the matrix, who do you want us to go for?

If the DOF offers the manager one good player and two poor players and the manager chooses the poor one it's on the manager. If the manager is offered three poor players then what can he do? There have been exceptions of signings that will be from the manager, DC with Harrison and Taylor but I think this was panic stations kicking in.

To set the system up how we did and not recruit enough wingbacks and then to stick with it for so long is the most baffling thing for me, even more so than the lack of strikers. Carol has hired people who supposedly know about football so this should not have been an issue. There is no way AC was sitting there not thinking about trying to change it up after the run we've been on. In my opinion the formation had to have been forced. I do believe Flitcroft has now decided or has been told to back off a bit now as we have seen DM change the system, whether that's because the club know he's messed up or just want to reduce the heat on him I don't know but it needed to happen. We don't really have any great options to play most of the other formations either i know, but that's the recruitment again.

We cannot go into next season being so inflexible. 

Maybe I have got it wrong; maybe Flitcroft is the problem. I just don't think so.

What I would give right now for a 20 + goal a season "Lazy" Leon Constantine 

Fans still slated him on here.  Hadn't he scored 20 before Christmas? And that still wasn't enough. Mind you, Myrie-Williams was slated on here promotion season despite making the league 2 team of the year. Moral of the story is is that Vale fans on OVF need someone to slate every year and this year it's DF's turn.

Despite my disconnect with all things Vale at the moment I'll be renewing 2 tickets for me and my lad.

Then come August I'll undoubtedly be asking why ! 

Few lads I associate with have almost given up with Lard and go to other games instead. Last night they went to Partick Thistle , night on the beer in Glasgow and today they are going to  Dumbarton . All 3 say that now they are out of the habit they don't miss going at all. 

I've missed our last 2 homes through recovering from an operation and haven't missed it one bit. 50/50 yet if I'm up to it later. 

Once folk lose the habit it's hard to reconnect,  my dad was like that . 

I've saved my money up and shall renew .

 

[Heatwave]

I'll be renewing for next season, whether L1 or L2, Flitcroft or no Flitcroft.

Because football is my game and Port Vale are my club, like they have been since I was eight years old. It's nearly sixty years since I started following them and despite promotions and relegations, good owners and bad, the highs and lows that inevitably come, they're still my club and will be till the day I die. (And maybe beyond - although a wise man once told me that some people serve their Purgatory on earth. 😏)

Plenty to slate this season, DF is just the tip of the iceberg. We have some pretty dreadful players in our squad and first team unfortunately.

[Sir Robbie Earle]

At the moment, it would be a definite no, but come May time I will probably give in and buy one. Must be mad
