And scored again

The big issue is, soon as we go 1 down it feels like it's curtains. Any belief seems to instantly leave our players. Today's starting 11 was simply to try and survive in the game and hope Bolton are wasteful. That was the masterplan. I can only image the players have as little belief in their own ability and what they were capable of prior to 3pm than our manager obviously does.

Jesus, it must be bleak in your world!

A promotion season is not good enough for you, you can find no joy at all in it?

Again, give your head a wobble.

It is bleak Alan yes - I'm loosing all interest in the club I've loved for nearly 30 years. 

I was there for administrations, protests, bucket collections, 4 - 0 drubbings at Hereford away. These last three seasons, starting with the sacking of Clarke and replacing him with PE teacher have just killed it for me. 

Football is entertainment - I didn't enjoy a 86 minute winner having no prior shots on target last season and I don't enjoy a conceding 7 goals in our last two games with no goals scored. I want to see a change in attitudes towards football at our club again and I'm not going to change my mind even if we do stay up this season with Moore in charge. Peace out. See you in the summer. 

Having been perhaps his most prominent defender on here, the time for Moore to be sacked has come.

The players have given up on him. Every time we concede, it’s curtains. The body language of some senior players is absolutely appalling. The resilience isn’t there at all, and that’s sort of Moore’s biggest selling point.

It’s the same script every week, with some reasonable huff and puff to start before an inevitable crumble. His substitutions are terrorism. Walters for Croasdale was rightly booed, and Croasdale being dispossessed for the 3rd typified it all.

Blackpool, Wycombe, and Posh have snagged three good managers and are turning round. Cleverly will be gone tonight and they’ll have the funds to replace.

Recruitment has been a disaster. Faal, Waine, Marosi, Shipley, Rico, Brown have not added anything positive. The injury prone signings have picked up injuries. We’ve appointed a recruitment man who has failed everywhere he’s gone because he knows Darren.

Carol and PVFC cannot afford a repeat of 23/24. Ruthless action needed now to salvage this. The time has come and it’s a shame.

Darren did his job and there’s no shame in amicably parting ways for him to go and deliver another promotion to a big budget side. We need something very different very soon.

I was more often right when I was miserable.

Most of these high level decisions I would imagine rudge is the one giving the advice. If we sack him rudge said so if we keep him rudge said to. Keep that in mind, I can't imagine Carol wouldn't take is advice.

I actully doubt that. Anisworth was available when Moore was appointed and I know he rates him. Did Carol consult him? Again I doubt it as its common knowledge Moore was the only one that was in the frame.

It is and people want more 😄 (Not Moore). 

We definitely need to move some players out, as many as 5 or 6, and bring in 2 quality replacements at the back. 

We have on paper 30 I believe.  However, you can easily write off 4 of them as they are not good enough as they are not played now and replacements were brought in for their positions before the season started or even in the transfer window.

Feel the players are now beginning to not play for him totally.  Hope not, but we have seen players stop playing for the manager and you know the manager is gone.  Player power happens.

Most fans just want a side that is settled and DM & CO seem to rotate the players too much now and you get the feeling he does not know his best side anymore as he has tried to get all his players to play.

Losing is fine, but getting thumped 3-0 4-0 on a regular basis and constantly failing to beat teams who are down to 10 men, even getting beaten by 10 men. It's unacceptable.

Just hope Carol doesn't wait and act in 4 weeks time when we're caught well adrift. We're already 4pts in the shìt.

Squad too big, I'm not surprised. Spine of our squad is Gucci, Humphreys, Byers, Cole. Who outside that has the confidence and morale to perform? One bad game and they are out the team. 

One good game and they’re out of the team with Moore in charge

A good bet could be him scoring a hat trick against us.  We are the ever giving club for teams below us.

I don’t think a big chunk of these players want to play for Moore now.

Yep, it's so obvious that the players are not playing for Moore now as they have completely downed tools.

Who will replace him, give us a possible name

We are a football league club in the third level. There’ll be lots of applicants. Something has to be done or we just accept whatever the outcome will be at the end of the season. With his record I think I and others know what that will be. When Joe B says it’s time to go after all the support he has given DM, then it’s time. Carols decision making may be questioned regarding appointments, certainly not though regarding her commitment to the club. We have a good owner whose financial commitment deserves more than what’s being dished up at the moment.

Fans can put up with losing - if the players at least try.  They don't seem to be trying now and not tracking players now.

Team selections are baffling and you know if a player has been great in a game, then he will not be playing next week.  

Can't see where the next win will come from this month, as DM & Co will no doubt tinker with the side.  Play players out of their normal position and if they have a great game - they are dropped to the bench.

She didn't listen to us last time we were right so I don't expect her to listen this time - No doubt there is an email being written to tell us to shut up cus its the best football ever . 

Vale were well beaten today by an in form team, whatever team Vale put out would have made no difference to the result and likely the scoreline.

We were very much 2nd best in all departments from the 30th min on.

The promotion will mean nothing if we come back down in this fashion. It has to mean something Alan. 

But we won't go back down this season.

We might have weeks or months of squeaky bum time, but we will stay up at the end of the season.

You and I each have bets placed on that outcome.

I'm still confident in mine.
