Vale haven't always been crap. 

We had some good players since John Rudge days. The club has become a revolving door where there have been too many loanees and players not committing for two or three seasons. I could write a huge list and so could you. 

Stability has been crp. The DOF should have made that a priority instead of acting as an agent for big clubs with players they wanted to loan out for experience. After how the Premier league has treated its smaller clubs of late I reckon it is time for those days to end completely! 

Players Moore brings in need to commit for two or three seasons... No more loanees ever. 

Ryan loft, Dan Jones and Gavin Massey all committed to two or three seasons.

I thought Massey was being released. 

We can look forward to bags of goals in League two!

Both Wimbledon and MK will be tough to beat.

🥱

MK have been absolutely shocking. Wouldn’t know they were in desperation mode to overturn a 3-0 deficit. Go so far to say they look no different to our soft team.

We have though. Mostly.

Great, Just what we need. Some end of career former good players with a three year contract.

2-0 Crawley and that’s game over. MK are actually the dumbest team at the back I’ve seen and yes am including us in that.

Maybe Vale can do a job at this level after all!

He is being released, because he’s crap but he committed to two or three seasons, so meets your criteria.

Crawley showed tonight you can play football without a massive budget and they would wipe the floor with our current team.  We can't do what they have done as stuck with those wasters from the season just gone but they signed 19 players last summer having got rid of the players who failed the season before.  Of those 19 signed, 12 were from non-league, including teams like Cray Valley Paper Mills, Oxford City, Brackley, Farnborough, Worthing, Broadbridge and a number of National League teams.  It goes to show lots of quality non-league talent out there as these tonight look excellent.

Crawley certainly been very impressive across the whole tie. Only thing I’m wondering is how much this is MK ineptitude? They’ve been a disgrace. Can’t remember there being such a one sided playoff semi as this has been.

8-1, mental.

I've just read that apparently one of the TV commentators said Crawley only have 5 full time staff?
