Completely bottled one right by the dug outs 2nd half. 

Yeah that was the one that came to my mind too, tried a stupid little flick when it needed a full on strong challenge that the player felt.

60 years and I’m done.  Had so much hope when Carol rescued us but Flitcroft has torn the heart and money out of the club. Local league football for me although I have had a good grounding over the past 18 months

I'd play over Sang at RB. He's useless. Can't tackle and doesn't block a cross

Yes because he isn’t a RB

I think they should put a for sale sign up. 

Why would we want new owners?

We just need to stop the tail wagging the dog and Carol needs to grow a pair and sack Flitcroft !

Sad thing is, several thousand entitled, knee jerk moaners will traipse over to Pride Park on Saturday, hoping a team can win its 4th game in 5 months.

Most of the time I would leave a game like that deflated and angry but as I have said numerous times, already resigned myself to league 2 football next season.  We have a truly awful side, no character, no fight, bunch of players who are not likeable apart from Ripley and Garrity.  That second half performance was one of the worst I can ever remember, I slated Crosby after the Stevenage cup replay but this was way worse than that.  I have no idea what the team talk was but my word, we were battered.  I said with 10 minutes to go, even at 2 nil we would lose by 6 playing like that at Derby.  We literally had 1 attack in the whole half, it was embarassing.

Moore was my choice to be manager and it won't be on him if we go down but these 4 games have been shocking and I did not expect free flowing football but if that is what we need to get used to, negative changes, being battered by a bottom 2 team at home, it will be a tough watch.  We have gone from a manager who wants 70% possession to a manager who seems happy to have hardly any of the ball.

Same here my Vale mad son is off to Uni in the summer and have lost all enthusiasm. All we had to do was finish out of the bottom 4 !!!

Flitcroft Out.

The fact is it did happen. You can say if this & if that but I could see exactly  what was coming just like thousands of others. But it come as a complete shock to Darren Moore. What a load of rubbish! Just like I knew they’d equalise once they got their first, we’re so predictable 

But it shouldn't. It was awful. And I agree the equalizer was then inevitable.

[JoeB2]

We were basically good for about 18 months under Darrell Clarke. The club is in no better place than it was before him, bar a scoreboard and a 2nd changing room. Any success was down to him and his coaching staff. 

We just had a good manager, but those in the boardroom convinced themselves it was all about them.

When you sit back on 45 mins inviting constant pressure it’s going to happen though. Not sure what was said at half time we should of come out & tried kill the game off. We aren’t good enough to sit back & defend for 15 mins never mind 50

Climate change is resulting in warmer and wetter weather,  thus improved drainage was required. Irrigation to be improved and possibly a hybrid pitch later.

Are you really blaming climate change for the vale’s current problems 

[valiant_593]

I actually thought we defended quite well. Given it was 45 minutes of non stop attacking from Fleetwood and 55 crosses into the box, Lopata and Yak did well. They were always going to score though and Ripley saved us before this. Deborah isn’t a footballer and needs sacking off. Go back to a back to with yak and Lopata. Not that it matters anymore

Darrell Clarke. Great man.

I'm logging off up at 5.30 for work.

Think reading that Fleetwood are as good as Middlesbrough on the relegation thread has finished me off for the night ! 

[Rodge]

Yes because he isn’t a RB 

Sang in MF, Cass at RB except our wonderful DOF loaned him out.
