The reason I stopped going was the utter dross served up by Moore once he arrived.

He had 17 games,we won 2 and he binned off the most creative player we had in Chizzy.

A five year contract was always a risk. Lovely man,but as stubborn as hell with his set up. WBs are only as good as their fitness...Clark and Gabriel for two.

I think Cole is the only hope this season.

And if there can be 4 teams worse than us.

I posted previously to say if you don't win any of your first 7 then you can't afford another bad run. It's no wins in 5

This 5 Year contract is for the birds he's on a rolling contract that's reviewed yearly according to the lads on the Ale and Vale Podcast so there will be hardly any compo

Evans

Cook

Manning

Bloomfield

Selles

Savage should be on that list too 

Robbie Savsge- not a bad shout

Absolutely not. We'd only be signing him for the name. We need a clever manager who understands tactics. Paul Cook or similar.

Whether 343 or 3421, you’ve got 3 CBs and only 2 in CM. That 2 needs energy, grit and a bit of guile. Not sure Walters and Byers gives you that.

Yeah, either way it’s more frustrating to continue with 3 centre backs when we only have one in our squad who is good enough at this level. 

Double whatever Bowyer’s on at Burton. Survival specialist in the short-term and can consolidate us next season.

First half hr 7 goal attempts to there 1

Why did there goal change what we were doing .

Why do we never score when we on top ,yet these other sides score and we give up 

4 nil really its got be a sackable offence thst alone , losing to a club who Burton beat and Northampton ..

Vale couldnt beat a egg 

What a diabolical result that is .

Making every team look good .

This ojo thing its got be .

They dont seem be fighting for the badge .

No support left if this carries on .

He is going have to be sacked .

His formation is garbage .

Massively under rated manager is Bowyer. Single handedly keeping Burton in league 1. He’s an excellent manager and from what I hear, loved by the players.

Bit dour and unflashy so gets overlooked. What he’s doing at Burton is an absolutely brilliant job. Proper manager.

Savage has only just got his first proper taste of management these couple of years and was only made non league forest green manager this year. Hiring someone with no league management would be a total disaster in my opinion. Aspin , Brown and  Bruno to name a few spring to mind

Savage is a winner , that's what sets him apart from the rest

Evening Vale Heads. 
Thought we played really well for the first 30 mins and could easily have been 2-0 up if their keeper hasn't made some brilliant saves. Sitting with my Bolton m8 said that, their keep last year, would t have made those saves. 
Disappointed to see how our heads dropped so easily with the first two goals. 
Thought we came out strong again second half but went to pieces when the third went in. 
I know everyone on here is calling for DMs head but the players have to take some responsibility here too 
Also got to give Bolton credit. They were very good. 
See you all next weekend for Wycombe 

I did say before the game Osh that it was so predictable what would happen. I didn't want to be right but we've seen it so many times. I just wish I'd have put money on it!

A winner ? You mean winning the northern premier league with macc town which is what neil aspin did with Halifax town. I wouldn't say that set him apart. You can't call him a winner this early on in his management career and expect him to jump straight to league one. That's absolutely mental 

May as well give Duffy and Griff at Congleton a ring or popey at Kidsgrove if you're going that route

But he still scored 4 in 4 Spunkers 

No one else has

I’m just stating the fact that of fans expect him to bang in goals every week, 51 in 8 years suggests not. 
 

But as someone just informed me by message, didn’t he do a club interview saying scoring goals is what he does?

It’s that kind of media spin that brainwashes folk.

I'd take anyone over Dopey Darren at the moment
