The happy clappers will still go 

because they don't mind mediocre football

They are absolutely bloody deluded 

I'd be delighted with mediocre mid table football!

Absolute shambles, a huge gulf in quality and organization between those two teams.

The concern is the organization, shape and tactics on the pitch look worse under DM than under Crosby.

How can two Oxford players stand over a corner and only one Vale comes out to them and they score, it's school boy stuff, awful defending.

Can Vale declare now.

 

They missed the easy chances, both goals conceded were about heading a ball, the Baylee chance shows how bad we are, they blocked it, because that is what defenders are paid for.

The whole team, apart from the babies, looks like it is just turning up until the season ends. Shocking to see and where is Gore? 

DF and the whole transfer team, including Carol and the other board members, need to have a massive rethink.

If I was DF I would resign, if I was Carol I would sack DF. 

Hard decisions are tough, Carol I imagine is a person who sees the positives in people and gives them a chance. But I would only keep the youth team and get rid of the rest.

BenG, ConR, EthCh, but even then they are mid table lg1 players. Rest are showing it is about earning money, no fight, no skill, glad to have a job.

Scoreboard is great, pity it has no Vale goals to show. TC all, things can only get better.

We all feel the pain so support all your fellow Vale fans, even me as a Happy Clapper

League one , league two or Vanarama ? 🤔

We can blame Flitcroft and rightly so. However Carol has let this happen.

Carol needs to show strong leadership

Or if not she can always sell up

Sounds great except for the football bit, I'd cut that out if I was you, matchdays will be so much more enjoyable. 

 No, they’re still fine.  We’ll be relegated and my drinking will be moderated…..a little bit.

Just listened to Schumacher saying he doesn’t want the GK booting the ball up the pitch and wants players passing forward. Get him in

Correct !

Crap starts and finishes with the Leader.

She might offer 2 Free Drinks Next Home Game or make Phil Taylor President and everything will be Alright.

The one thing I can’t understand is that Carol is a very successful business woman. You don’t create a business and then sell it for £180m without having a bit of nouse and without being able to make hard decisions. In fact, I’d go as far to say you actually have to be quite ruthless to be that successful, and that is what makes the open letter, the fact Flitcroft is still in a job etc so bizarre.
