Exeter City (H) match thread - 13th April

[JoeB2]

Although relegation is bad can we please avoid the apocalyptic talk?

Killing the club etc etc

Carol has made a balls of it monumentally but a few could do with a pint and calming down.

She’ll be hurting just as much as we are tonight. It’s easy to forget she’s a well-intentioned person who has made mistakes, as we all have. This has been a series of very expensive and damaging mistakes.

However, we’ll be fine.

I'm sure you or someone else has said this is one of the worst vale teams you have seen. Its down to the players. Pretty simple.

 

The players were good enough to get us a well deserved lead at half time. Failing to adjust to obvious tactical changes by the opposing manager at half-time, and some negative, rotten substitutions lost us this game. That's on Moore.

We've given a manager who is no better than Crosby a 5 year deal. Madness.

On the pattern emerging regarding his game management ability and substitutions, is anyone bothered by the above? Genuine question.

I would probably bring g in Patrick Moore

As a stop gap option 😬👍

[JoeB2]

League 2 is crap but will be pretty weak next year without Wrexham, Stockport, and Mansfield. 

We all hate going down but a few are overreacting and some of stick going Carol’s way is creeping over the line. Criticise her decisions and not her as a person. 

We aren’t going to go down again. We haven’t been ‘killed’. We have a bad couple of years and will have to take our medicine.

Ah this good old argument 😂 

Mate, firstly if you are paddy your an embarrassment. Secondly it’s not hard to see that the sub Darren made was wrong. Weir is rubbish, offers nothing and hides from tackles. If Uche comes off a striker has to come on. They changed their tactics at half time. Darren like everyone in the ground can see this

Wow

Exactly, the club has made some Bad Decisions but giving Moore a 5 and 1/2 Year  Deal is, by far, the Worst of them all.

Should have gone all out for him in the first place. No way we would have had that sort of second half under him where we pulled our pants down for Exeter after they would have had a telling off at half-time.

 

We would be sitting in  mid table if Ainsworth was manager , Carol has totally lost the plot with herr stubborn attitude and impulsive appointments

Stop happy clapping fella 

In life if you fail you have to have it 

The players the owners the manager the lot deserve everything they get. 

They have brought shame on every Vale fan tonight hope they can sleep in there beds at night there a disgrace to the shirt .

 

[Doha]

Who was Captain today, Ojo?

That needs to change next season in L2.

[southvale]

I wasn't there but surely we go for 3-0. 
Anytime I've been there you can see what happens when we sit off deeper and deeper. 
Why can't Moore ? 

Its not even about going for more goals, the only way we defend adequately is wen we attack! As you say, the whole crowd can see it, yet every time we get our noses in front we come out 2nd half and try to sit back, let teams come on to us and defend our lead, when WE CAN NOT DEFEND! So easy for the opposition, so obvious theh get at us down the flanks, so easy to get balls into the box, our centre halves dont like the ball at their feet. Too easy to suss out

I think it’s fairly established I’m no happy clapper. I’m gutted about relegation and have been forthcoming, for about 18 months, in criticising the very obvious mistakes being made.

Deapite this, the club hasn’t been killed, and Carol doesn’t deserve attacks on her character. She’s led with good intentions and made a dog’s dinner of it, to her personal financial cost of millions loaned that will never be repaid.

Being in League 2 again will be rubbish, but we’re not dead. It’s just another very disappointing chapter in Port Vale 2000-present.
