Bolton (A) match thread - 20th April

[valefan79]

Back home and the biggest thing for me is don't feel anything, the players, management, DOF, owners have made me feel like this, not even bothered after getting relegated, I said it the day the transfer window shut was the day we went down.  Today could easily have been another 7, absolute shambles at the back and stuck with most of these wasters again next year.  For me I would only have Ripley, Garrity, Chislett, Dippepa and Plant and give him a go where he spent his youth career and see how he goes.  The rest are not good enough and most don't care, never want to see the likes of Ojo, Massey, Jones, Grant, Loft in a Vale shirt again.

Each to their own...there will be true Vale fans there, showing they still support the club. There will be others there to moan and groan, too, of course! It's always been so! 

And will ever be thus!

That's fair enough. 

I'd prefer a Steps tribute band to Vale at the moment. 

This season has certainly been a f***ing Tragedy!

The sad thing is it was so easily avoidable.  The near miss of last season should’ve been enough of a kick up the backside for the powers that be to see what was needed, but no, some deluded footballing genius decided he had a master plan, we were suddenly going to play football in the style of Man City, but then he forgot to recruit the players to do so.

Yeah, but he went in for Doku, Foden and Bernardo Silva, so he was trying! (.....VERY trying 🤣)

"As for my absence - it has nothing to do with not being paid by Flitcroft - which is very nearly libellous - but more to do with my recovering from having half a leg amputated!"

To LancyTony - good luck with the recuperation. That's a pretty solid reason for not being on here so much!  Your health, both physical and mental, is the important thing. Hope you are ready to go again next August.

Just so.

Such hostility is completely unjustified towards someone who, despite this season's very poor outcome, has only ever tried hard to help and restore our club.

In certain cases, the hostility is because they are closet Stoke supporters trying to harm our club by offending and alienating our greatest benefactor.

But the genuine Vale supporters who also join in are beyond all reason - let's go out of our way to be offensive to the person who is the sole reason why Vale still exists after Smurthwaite leeched it dry.

I hope that those genuine Vale supporters have a careful think about their actions and the potential consequences.

That post is almost similar to the letter that she wrote. Our actions and the potential consequences?  Yes, we’re grateful that she saved the club , but it’s been a while now. 
What has happened in the past 18 months is worthy of criticism.

Well Walsall is 2 defeats guaranteed.

I hope Moore is just very level-headed and zen, rather than lacking in passion and commitment. Crosby and Clarke were clearly passionate and chose their words carefully, while emotion seeped through. I can see how behind closed doors they would tell it as it is, and say what needed to be said. I can’t see that from Moore, but hopefully he’s just got a robotic way of dealing with the press and he’s different when talking to the players directly.
