Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. 

Like posting the same <ovf censored> week in week out?

We’re going down with Moore as manager. Simple as that. 

And yet you won't take Joe's bet?

Or any of the bookies' relegation odds?

I'll also offer you a charity bet that Vale don't go down this season.

Are you prepared to back your opinion?

Simple as that.

Vale on top, playing well for the first 30 mins, create numerous chances but again don't score. Then Vale fail to clear a ball and concede and the game changes.

Bolton have creative and dangerous forwards in Cozier-Duberry and Cossoko.

I want 23/24 points minimum by New Year as that will leave us needing the same from the second half of the season, the result isn't a concern tomorrow as much but need performance to give hope after 2 bad ones.

Where are those coming from then?

I'm surprised that no Championship club signed Cozier-Duberry on loan especially when he was playing in the Championship last season for Blackburn on loan. 

But he wouldn't be wanted here as he would be on loan. That's the Vale fan mentally isn't it? Heard it often enough in pre season

Tbh I wouldn't be surprised if Brighton recall him in January and he goes to a Championship club for the second half of the season to a team that's in the top 10.

Game of 2 halves? But will it be in our favour?

Its such a shame. Carol said when we got promoted they had assembled a team for league one as well. We all knew this was incorrect and the defence was poor. She has probably spent 10 million of her own cash, which is more than any of us on here can dream of, but its nothing in football terms. She is trying to live a champagne lifestyle on beer money and it will end in tears. She needs investors alongside her to take us forward. Such a shame.

Agree entirely D M had a budget to get us promoted. He spent most of it in first season so we had to stick with a lot of this squad. So we keep the same back line, except Humphrys and no money left to strengthen anymore.

Major problem for Carol. Going to cost a lot of money in Jan to keep us up 3 top players at least needed

I've said that all along but some fans can't handle the truth 

You wouldn't recognise the truth if it was explained to you via a nursery book.

Like I said earlier, the next two home games are huge for us. We need maximum points from back-to-back home games. 

What are the odds of DM getting two home wins in eight days? He's managed two home League 1 wins in about six months so far. (This season and the last three months of the relegation season)

I've offered to take that charity bet. I'm very much backing my opinion and I've also been voting with my feet since last season.

He had the whole of pre season to do just that these are mostly his players that he has bought in bar a couple 

True I guess it depends on who's available. If we can get 2 or 3 starting 11 players in i think we should get mid table. Darren Moore is proven and has the ability to bring in some decent players.

Well, since Michael Duff took over Wycombe have been in flying form and beat Leyton Orient 4-1 earlier.

To play where? 

I'd say 2, personally, both centre backs but other than that you'd looking at getting rid of players to make room.

started well then stopped doing everything that had worked and started dropping further and further back with everyone standing on each others toes and lo and behold two strikes througha forest of players end up in the back of the net.

 

The teams at the top impose themselves and score goals the teams at the bottom timidly try to hang on and hope to nick it at the end. the main problem with that is when the opposition score 2 its game over.

 

Its exactly what we did last time we were in this division sit back and let teams batter us. The first 20 minutes proved that teams like Bolton are less comfortable if you press high and force them to defend.

 

Garrity hasn't got the ability to hold players off turn them get up the pitch and create chances so what he is doing wide right is anybody's guess hall on the other hand can do all of those things but he is on the bench. Byers hasn't got anyone to pass the ball forwards to because cole is isolated on his own and everyone else is sitting back.

 

Oh the attackers are on now are they. Shame we couldn’t have started with them
