I think you might be wasting your breath, friend. Most on here just want to moan...

I have to stay positive.  I've got a trip to the UK planned for the end of April, and will be attending the promotion party on the 21st.  I might even head down to Wimbledon too if I can get a ticket.

I've said it before and now I'll say it again. 

Good managers get more than the sum of the parts from their teams. Average managers get the sum of the parts.

Bad managers get less than the sum of the parts.

Unfortunately for us, Moore is probably one of the worst examples of the last group with stupefyingly ill judged selection, tactics, in game management allied to a totally negative body language. What this results in is simply diabolical tripe served up week in week out. Too timid to even attempt a positive style of football that might actually win a game.

Moore supporters can say what they like about "unbeaten in 2025" but we have still fallen down the table and played some of the worst football I have ever seen, from players capable of so much better. 

I was on the fence with Moore, now I'm not. 

Get rid.

It's taken you a while to see the light

but fair play to you , buddy 👍

That almost feels like a back handed compliment to this mighty Vale side.

That result was on DM's team selection to start the 1st half. Vale were better with the half time subs then improved again when Harper and Chizz came on. How Walters and Hart can be selected before Harper/Chizz or Mitch Clark retrospectively is beyond me.

What the hell are we doing  leaving a 2-1 for Fleetwood when we go forward, schoolboy error. How Hall missed that chance and the rebound wasn't put away I'll never know.

Big game against Colchester on Tuesday, got to start a stronger 11 than started today. 

I'm expecting another 3 or 4 changes 🙄👍

we lack intensity, we lack drive we are just too passive and byers is really disappointing everyone was really excited when he signed but what a let down, he has contributed very little he was played more advanced today and still didn't create anything he is supposed to be dictating our play and he is nowhere near. Good to see chizzie back should have played from the start as should curtis who is one the few energetic players we have but we can't tread water for half the game then suddenly raise our game in the last quarter we need to be at it from the start.

 

I don't want to be negative I really don't but Im not seeing a top three side out there its boring football game after game maybe there is a decent team in there but with the negative tactics being used and players sacrificing their natural game to keep things tight for as long as possible I don't think we will see that team. Playing like this we don't deserve to go up. Interview after interview DM says we need to dictate games etc but he has been saying that all season its not happening is it.

 

Our two games in hand will disappear after our usual tuesday night performances with maybe a couple of draws at best so its play offs at best for me now.

Sounds like a plan.  You'll be able to recognise me.  I'll be the one smiling.

Is it too late to cancel?

How did the great alexander get on today 🤣

Midfield is the glaring issue.

Defence is okay. Not convinced on the keeper. 

Our midfield are all clones. Pick it up deep. Play it square.  Safe football. 

No runners, no creativity or guile.

Unless Rico or Chislett start ( particularly at home ) it's going to be a mundane watch.

 

Chzzy gives us that goal threat and is good at running in behind but Darren's the one who's picking the team , mate

Yes, I'm afraid so.

Byers.

Lots of respected lower league pundits who have been on the EFL shows and also bloggers,  universally acclaimed him as the best player in the division. 

I know he's had injuries but I'm still waiting for him to absolutely run the show as anticipated. 

A real damp squib at times.
