Oxford (H) match thread - 16th March

[gags 64]

Don't think I can keep putting myself through this boring, passionless rubbish every week. Just want to watch a team that cares and come home from a game feeling proud of my team. My desire to buy a season ticket is diminishing with every game. Something is seriously wrong with the club. Alas Smith and Jones, how appropriate. Another deflating Saturday

Yates or Bowers hit the nail on the head when one of 'em said, "This oxford team have 5 or 6 players that could play in the Championship", Vale currently don't seem to have any. Add to that the school boy errors of not attacking the ball in the area (1st goal) and having one Vale player going out to two Oxford players at a corner (2nd gal) and it's easy to see why Vale concede/give away "easy" goals.

5 months of it, the 7-0 at Barnsley showed where we could be at.

You can start the post mortem now  because the patient is well and truly dead. Is it only the fans who can see it from the terraces? What are they watching from the directors box ?

Carol showing them her awards and fraudcroft showing his latest powerpoint how the players are phenomenal.  

We are down and as you say the post mortem needs to start now - start the planning process for getting out of Div 2.  But I bet you fraudcroft will be the one doing the post mortem and will report back to Carol.  Not our fault and can I have a pay rise.  Its the nasty fans fault out there.

Where is El Presidente?

It's gone very quiet from him.

The comment about Darren Moore being available and chasing him is the same as Ryan Loft. No one else wanted them...we are stuck with both.

Moore has actually made us worse. We ended the game with DiPepa,Chizzy,Loft and Wilson and still didn't look like scoring.

Massey is the laziest player I've seen in a long time. Jones is one of the worst.

It shows how good Blaster and Devine were.

Wilson's effort in the second half was as bad as Lofts against Fleetwood 

I only attend cos I have a season ticket,that's how bad it is.

No heart,no fight,not bothered.

Only Ripley can hold his head up high

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.

It will happen, it has to happen. No one can be so bad at the most important task (Recruitment) in their job description and it not go unnoticed and there be no consequences.

Must say I think I've seen the most woeful performance in my life today from Dan Jones. I have no words to describe it

Stop letting Carol off. <ovf censored> budgets. Backs the DOF. Tells fans they’re wrong she’s right. Sacks an experience CEO and employs her clown of a son. It’s her fault. Time to go and take David flitcroft and Darren more with you

Everything you say is right Ray but not letting Carol get away with it either. Ultimately she is his boss and the buck stops with her for allowing it to go on especially as she has seemingly nailed her colours to the mast in relation to him.

Fair comment.  Fans protests and the inevitable relegation will hopefully open her eyes but sadly it could’ve been so different if we’d added a couple of players in the summer.

El Presidente hasn't been arsed about Vale for many, many years mate.

Wouldn't even clas him as a fan personally

I've not been for a while the atmosphere is better in the crematorium 

[Guitar Ray]

Moore sounds like a beaten man in his interview.

[osprey]

I wish Moore would just come out and say the lads are crap and God knows why I took this job 

He just gives a report on what happened and he even says that in a nice way

They need a good rollicking

Gags, he thinks that he’s better than what he is.

Am hoping that we here Jones is ill or injured because, even though the team generally were shocking, Jones was not better than one of those 'dome cones' the players used during the warm up.

Why did we sign Lowe and release Pett?

As things stand we are 6 points off safety still and we play Cambridge, last game of season who are 5th bottom. We play Burton next, 6th bottom on the same points as Cambridge. 
 

It really wouldn’t actually such a serious upturn to stay up, but today kills off a real belief that that is even remotely possible. It was miles off being a competitive football game. It was like watching a non league team play a Prem team in the FA cup. 

 

I agree what is going on with Darren Moore? We were always in games with Crosby but now unrecognisable. I heard today at the game he's listening to Smith and Jones who coincidently fell out with Crosby just before he was sacked.

Apparently Jones had a big fallout with Crosby after the Fleetwood game in the dressing room as he was fuming he wasn't on the bench. And then on the Monday Crosby was sacked Smith was left out of the team earlier in the day.The guys on the concourse today said they approached Flitcroft and Carol and shortly after Crosby was sacked.

If this is the case and its only an if then its no wonder we are doing so bad
