The truth is there was a mini league of poor teams with little between them. Those 3 and the 4 relegated teams. We had an awful record in games against those other 6 teams; which is why we've gone down. Some was bad luck Burton at home springs to mind), some was a lack of heart and sometimes we just weren't good enough.

Yep JRC I agree but we shouldn't have been in that mini league, perhaps if we'd have held onto Ellis Harrison we may not have  been.

Some wretched bad luck at crucial times as well, Deborah's header vs Fleetwood, The wicked deflection vs Exeter to get them back in the game at Vale park, the dubious pen decision in the 2nd min of added time at the end of the 1st half vs Cheltenham away but a good team doesn't allow these things to happen.

I’ve already said I was incorrect with the squad comment. Let’s all forgot the bloke has only won 5 games this season. Sheffield Fans don’t rate him if you look at comments on Facebook. Only group of fans I can see that rate him are Doncaster. 

Shows though that fans still aren't happy even if winning games as his win ratio at the 3 clubs was very good and totally agree about his poor show this season with the 2 squads he didn't build that's why I am happy to see what he can do with a chance to build his own squad here

No idea if this is true or not but someone has said on FB that DM has averaged 1.58 points a game at Vale that if over a full season would be 70 points with a poor team.........  like I said though no idea if that is true or not

1.58 points a game in his managerial career. Nowhere near that at Vale.

Remains a mystery why Ellis wanted away. Seems a player who likes collecting signing on fees. I agree I think he would have scored about 10 goals; which would have seen us stay up. His general hold up play was also pretty good.

He came here for DC so I guess after we got rid of him he just wasn't interested in staying

Come on Barrow...

 Not a chance Crewe go up even if they make the playoffs. Form has dropped off big time. Surely it’ll be Doncaster who are now 2-0 up & won 11 out of their last 11 games. Talk about charging into promotion 🔥

Mental stat that is

Meanwhile the phenomenal players at PV donkey sanctuary didn't win in 11 last year, then after a little good spell in December didn't win in 14, and have only won 2/23 games since December.

No excuses for Vale, squad lacking in quality and unbalanced. Frustrating that Camb, Burton and Shrews are certainly no better but survived.

That is what happens if you actually sort out transfers in the Jan window.  You survive the drop.  Fraudcroft didn't and we paid the price.  Got what we deserved.

I guess they want their 2 cup finals next season 🙂

It's staggeringly pants as far as perfomance goes. Beyond shameful.

Oh well, there's always next Season...
