Shorrock excluded from the a squad again. Literally starts him, hauls him off then leaves him out the squad completely then selects him to start again. Bonkers. 

John should be starting every game if fit so glad he’s on. Fitness of Garrity will clearly be an issue 

Delighted Smith is back in. Should be starting every single game. Deborah is hopeless, good decision there, shame it’s taken half a season. 

Same with Ripley, too many errors. 

Starting 11 is decent, still don’t think the 5 is required and Henneghan shouldn’t be playing but at least some decent personnel changes. I still think we will be quite conservative

That’s more like it! Welcome back captain 💙

You've still got time! 😜

Happy with team. Even if Smith and Amos play crap, Ripley and Debrah don’t deserve their place after playing so badly, and deserve a good kick up the arse.

Clark I would’ve kept in but maybe it’s a bit much asking him to play two games in such a quick turnaround after being out for so long.

No complaints about the starting lineup 

Amos and Smudge in the team , Tolaj and Curtis starting, I would have done the same.

Garrity back.❤️

Now lets show some <ovf censored> charecter.

Glad Garrity back ..glad Tolaj in 

Amos deserves his chance 

 

Other than that well we will see 

7 changes.  None of us went that high.  🤣

Come on Vale go for the win and play for your places.  Great to see Garrity back and hope its not a rushed bring back.

New sjoke agent announced to carry on the great work of taking them down hopefully. 

My boycott didn’t last long 😂 how can I not watch the Vale! I’m used to feeling crap at 5pm. Give your head a wobble lad…. Come on Vale!

I have no issues with Shorrock not being in the squad. He shouldn’t be. His last two games have shown he’s currently nowhere near it. He needs to be loaned out to get consistent football at a lower level.

Gonna stick it on the box. Can’t turn my back on this club as much as I’m not convinced with the gaffer & our season under him. You guys were right 👍🏻

Moore doing him no favours by keep chucking him in though & then bombing him out for weeks. Agree he needs a loan

Only thing I’m not keen on is looks a 3-4-3 or some variation of it. Rather see go with 3-5-2 and have Paton and Tolaj together working off each other and then a Rico or Curtis behind. Just feels more threatening that way.

I agree. It’s just he starts a game, then gets completely dropped out the squad, then 3/4 games later he’s starting (without being on the bench in between) and repeat. 
 

He’s not ready and I wouldn’t have him involved I just think the way he’s been managed has been pretty appauling all season 

 

Front three looks better. But my God, has there ever been a slower back 3 in the history of football?

Looks good on paper here’s hoping it looks even better on grass. 🏟️

 

UTV!

Not a chance he goes with 2 strikers mate. Team has a lot who will be eager to take their chance, natural battlers & some grit & leadership tho 👍🏻
