Garbage garbage garbage. Do one Moore 

We'll be lucky stay up with defending like this

To put into context, we’ve conceded 7 in the last 93 minutes of football.

<ovf censored> defending again.  Nothing has changed since last season in that department.

Not tracking or covering each other.  They are just sleep walking around the place.

We need the better defenders back fit, as this lot on the pitch are just not working.

 

What department have things changed exactly?

This is rough. Nothing can be said to be positive about this second half. I am deflated.

When was the last time we conceded 4 goals in back to back games?

Looks likely.

Looks more likely more than 4 goals will be going in today.  Ripers will be getting a sore back bending down to pick the ball out of the net.

Come on Vale.

I hope Ojo has a recall in place. My biggest concern right now is we talked about the lack of characters last season..well there are clearly plenty of heads dropping here already. 
 

What is odd is that nobody seems to have to earn a place. Sang started the season well, gets benched and Chislett should be a starter. 

This is alarmingly bad. We’ve barely created a thing and have been undone like a ladsanddads team for all 3 goals.

How long does Moore realistically get given before serious questions are asked?

Don't our lot realise that there's 2 halves in a football match?!!

Oh, no change in system just different players on. I'd be keeping Paton on personally and get Stockley playing next to him. 

I don't see us getting anything back here.

Ah like for like changes cheers Darren.

Not a bad first half and went in looking the better side. Started the second at a canter and now looking like game over. Why do we always come out in such a lethargic way.

That’s enough vale today. I’m going to play golf ️ 

I was delighted when Moore was recruited but the stats don’t lie, his % win ratio since taking over is dire. How many more games do we give him?

Up front on paper looks better.  Midfield on paper looks better.  Defence - not quite gelling and the better defenders are coming back from injuries - but again on paper looked better.

On the pitch it needs to work and as we all know what Clough said - on paper we have a great team - but its on the pitch the game is played on.

No offence mate but who are the best midfielder and defender you're on about and that's curtains we can't defend 

Smith and Byers. Obviously Garrity is our best midfielder for us, but if Byers is top end League One / low end Championship as has been said then theoretically he is our best player.

And yeah, 3-1 down and I'm not hugely confident things will turn round after ten games but still.
