Anyone know how many tickets we’ve sold?

[leedsvaliant]

Absolutely no chance of getting anything from this game. Pointless even playing it to be honest.

Must have sold a fair few. Only 2 blocks of 8 are available to buy tickets in. Unless some blocks haven’t been made available yet.

I'm going, mostly for the day out. Vale are sucking the life out of me but it's in my blood and I will be purchasing a season ticket next season. UTFV

Everything play for a change in personnel I feel will give Vale a lift .

          Leiutweiler

 Lomax Lopaco Icavetti Jones

           Walters Ojo(Garrity) Grant

  Chislett.      Garrity. (Bipepa)   Shorrock 

Need to have a certain degree of control in midfield so play Grant where he is supposed to play along with Walters and Ojo or Walters and Garrity that's what I'd do no worries about putting Lomax Shorrock Bipepa and Walters in least they will have no fear

Ultra attacking team mate ,I like it 👍

1-0. Loft scores, threaded through expertly by Jason Lowe. Tom Sang has diligently held down the right flank. 

Flitcroft punches the air in vindication - that’ll shut the fans up!- before turning off Football Manager and shutting the laptop.

Another good day at the office. He must tell Carol.

Can I suggest that if you do use red cards, don’t make them in a triangular shape, as they have 3 points.

That's the only 3  points we'll be 

Seeing anytime soon then 🤔

If you play all those youngsters we would inevitably lose by several goals and would do more harm to their confidence and future careers. You don't play youngsters in a relegation battle. You bring them into a winning team, using a maximum of one or two of them at a time.

You throw youngster's in as a last resort because the current professionals at the club aren't showing nowhere near enough heart , desire , or fight for the badge they don't deserve to be representing the club hence chuck the young lads in at least they will fight and show plenty of heart .

[Vale Ball]

Well if you read Dohas stats of what kind of performing club we are who would you pick .
They won't get any better with Sang at right back they won't get any better with 2 players in midfield getting over run will they 
Instead of saying things would not get any worse let's see your line up .
We have to go forwards last nights second half proves that the players cannot cope 

Not very good at rearranging the deckchairs on HMS Port Vale

No need to. She'll be at his beck-and-call, waiting on him hand and foot with tea and biscuits, and cheering him and his Virtual Vale team on with her pom-pom scarf being twirled like f*@k!

There’s a world where, one year on from the tragic death of his daughter, we gave DC compassionate leave again until the end of summer, and provided him with comprehensive mental health support and therapy upon his return. We had an assistant manager with interim experience and a DoF who apparently would be in charge of recruitment.

I understand how bad things got, but did we not have a moral obligation to look after him instead of sacking him? Carol said he needed to heal elsewhere but DC didn’t seem to think the same when he was jettisoned.

Everything good about this club was built on DC’s management. Behind that, it was just empty words. We conflated a really good manager with some nonsense ‘process’.

I know it’s banging on about the past, but we didn’t have to take the path we did. We chucked away the very best thing we’ve had at PVFC at decades and I’m not sure when we’ll get as lucky again. 

I will state now if we had kept DC then we would not be in a relegation battle now
