You picked the one thing Curtis did well. He gave away a pointless free kick for the first goal and couldn't be bothered to track back for the 2nd and 3rd. His body language all night stank.

He's quickly turning into this seasons Gavin Massey, playing all over the place so much I don't know what he is anymore and it looks like he feels the same.

I like Curtis but he is probably frustrated with lack of playing time .

Last night going forwards was alright ,defensively poor but thats not his strength is it .

D Brown learnt from Wigan and this time sprung the offside trap and finished superbly 

Humpfries i dont know the clamour is about him ,seems very weak and quite a limited poor player ,john did ok but first half no goal attempts i saw missed first 15 as having me tea before night shift .

However second half there was lots of good  play from Vale i thought Faal grew into the game and was ok and DB was really good after his goal (confidence ).

I like Shipley seems a very intelligent footballer 

Ojo was really good in his attacking work .

I think in next league game wouldnt harm Vale too have Ojo Shipley and G Hall as the 3 .

Poorest performer was for me Amos .

Followed by Stockley who never really got into the game at all which is a shame as i really like his game but he seemed not at it at all.

 

 

 

 

Shows you what a farce this competition become.

Liverpool played Rhys Williams last night and had 37 year old Jay Spearing on the bench

Faal was very poor last night but I thought Curtis was the worst player on the pitch, played his part in all 3 goals we gave away, did next to nothing on the ball except a really good pass to release Browne, but most of all it was his attitude, his movement off the ball was none existent and he was complaining to his team mates throughout the match. Even thought he was played out of position there is no excuse for the above.

I’ve done my stint. 
Spent thousands on travel when I lived abroad. 
Fought to get Bratt out. 
Fought to get Smurthwaite out. 
Loved the connection with Micky and Darrell. 
Spent more money than I’ve ever realised on this club. 
The Andy Crosby saga got me fed up and I couldn’t let this club get me down again for my own health. 
Now the same is happening again.

You don’t ever get to question my support. Especially not now. I don’t wish bad on the folk who watch the game and the regurgitation of “we need the fans to turn up” becomes beyond braindead after a while.

Most won’t. 
I won’t. 
It’s obvious what will happen.

There are three types of football supporters these days. Those that go whatsoever whenever because it’s their religion. Those that get angry and yet still go and end up hurling abuse and those like me that decide, for my own health, I’ll sit back and watch the mistakes be made and not let it get to me anymore.

Total fair play to you. Honestly. 
At 5pm on Saturday night, just don’t let it affect you’re weekend.

I aint seen them win at home in league 1  yet i sit here typing this 

Im looking forwards too sat watching the club i totally love ,and yes after a humiliating defeat for a few days im snappy ,im wounded ,i care ,although i dont hurl abuse at the players or manager .

i spent many a year just goarrrnnning im going back in Railway Paddock this weekend from hamil , these players need a lot of goaarrnnning at them .

We have a talented group of players i just want the ball run for them .

Keep the faith we all care about it but we not cut adrift by 20 points .

We have to stand tall in the face of the Stoke onslaught (them  improving that will always test our fans ).

Back the players 

Never going be easy in league 1 

I believe whether DM is relieved of his duties or not we have players too excite and win football matches regularly .

Most of the time working nights i have no sleep but i go the home games .

We will be 14 /16 come game 46 fella and i hope your mental health improves

Ojo at fault for the 1st not closing down, Curtis playing at WB exposed against a player more athletic than him and didn’t track him for both goals.

3 very poor goals, CB’s not at fault for any of them. 
 
I’ve said this before but it’s the tactics of  the manager, how he deploys the midfield to split wide regardless of personnel which leaves us with a massive gap for teams to get at our defence easily which makes CB’s job even harder. DM’s tactics are <ovf censored>.

Ojo best Vale player by a country mile tonight but how George Hall is not playing in our midfield I have no idea what DM is thinking.

 

Hall looks a class act, I would say probably the most talented player in the squad. His goal was superb, beating the goalie from a tight angle while unbalanced under pressure from their defender. Moore’s seeming inability to slot him into the team and keep him there is one of the key reasons why, if he stays, we are at very serious risk of relegation.

Time for change, methinks. 

1st period was dreadful, I've never seen a side so devoid of effort to actually go forward, there was just nothing there at all for the most part. John I thought was one of few who came out of that half with any credit whatsoever.  I can't comment too much after that as I gave up and went to play darts and doms which was considerably more entertaining🙃 

I guess the one positive is at least there was a reaction and we got 3 goals. Ojo it seems had a good 2nd half too and George Hall showed his quality with the 3rd goal.   I thought first half the RB area was an accident waiting to happen with Curtis who in his defence isn't a defender but like several other have commented he had a stinker(the assist for Brown's goal aside).

Most of the rest has been said I think, I want to like Moore and I'm just about still on the 'In' side of the argument(2 league home games for me was what I said after Bolton) but it's shocking fair for the most part isn't it.  My patiences is starting to wear extremely thin too.😞

I don’t think Curtis is that good of a footballer. He appears every now and then but largely he is lost during games. His shooting is very poor.  

The Fleetwood lad bought that free kick, he'd have fell down whoever was with him. His shooting was stellar away at Cheltenham last year but he's suffering from being played out of position when he gets picked.

I can't think of one game in this check a trade/ papa johns/ virtue or whatever it’s called now where I've been massively entertained and enjoyed. Just feels like pre season games to me 

 

I quite enjoyed Vale 4 Sjoke 0

That’s mad. Apparently he’s u21s coach, assisting Rob Page!

I thought he looked half arsed, head down most of the game, disinterested. If that is the case get off the pitch and never put the shirt on again.

I will say something Amos has three situations deal with last night them last 2 goals a goalie should save them and the first awful goalkeeping .

The whole point of having a goalie is for him save the ball.

I take it he is one of the unhappy players .

 

 

 

 

The 2nd and 3rd goals, just low shots straight at him and past him at his near post, absolutely shocking goalkeeping, i'd expect a 16 year old youth keeper to do better than that

He’s no wing back - that much is certain.
