That's fair enough. 

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

There won’t be anyone there, then she’ll moan her bag off about the lack of interest by the fans in the football club.

The fans could always stay and sing "You know who you are - your <ovf censored> and you know you are"  

Feel for some of the Vale players who have showed spirit and fight over this season and been let down by players who shouldn't be at this level. and have let the club, themselves and the fans down.

A '' Shitshow '' of a season, a '' Shitshow on the field '' a '' Shitshow transfer window and some ''Shitshow '' decision making at the top and Dof ! 

Can we change our club name to '' Burslem Shitshow FC '' ?

That’ll be Garrity,Chizzy,Dipepa and possibly the other youngsters.

This has been over 2 seasons, not just this one.  Last season sowed the seed of failure and we survived and then this season it totally fell apart.

Just hope the young players are not put back in their development by being forced into this squad.  In other clubs they would be loaned out and get some experience that way.  Vale have shoved them into the team and hoped.  They have actually played better than the experienced players brought in.  What does that say about recruitment.

Ermmmmmmm fuk off!

3 "disappointeds" in the managers interview so far. I'm so inspired by his oration.

Don’t think Moore will be walking as some have suggested - talking about galvanising for next season.

I’m sick of this nice club. This club doesn’t represent the fan base.

We’ve got another game next week at home… we’ll see all the supporters. 

No Darren you won’t 😏

Well at least we showed some heart today. If we'd played like today second half against Exeter we'd still be in with a chance. Bottom line there were 7 poor sides in the league. Our results home and away against the other 6 (7 points in 11 games against those teams) has cost us dearly. The bottom line is the other bad teams picked up 26 points against us and with the exception of Cambridge and Burton they've done less well than us against sides outside that mini league. Can't remember the Cambridge game, so I suspect I was on a plane somewhere.  Carlisle,  Burton,  Fleetwood,  Cheltenham and Shrewsbury were no better than us overall,  vitally they were just streetwise enough to take points off us in tight games.

Overall this season Portsmouth,  Peterborough,  Bolton and Derby clearly have way more quality than the rest. When at their best those 4 are better than the rest at their best. It's unrealistic to expect that type of quality in a club of our size. Outside those 4 I do feel we are able to compete; provided young players come through, we are able to recruit a little better and probably have a season with a bit of luck linked to injuries to key players. Big question for next season is do we look for experience in the hope of a quick return; or younger players with the potential to develop into league 1 players.
