Don’t underestimate the power of a really decent manager. Watched the Blades earlier today under Chris Wilder and they are a transformed side. Out of the bottom three with three wins on the trot including 3-2 at Leicester today.

It can happen, if the club acts decisively…

Blades top of championship last season. Started with a decent championship team.

Bit different to us.

Do you really want me to spell it out for you? 

Well having a go at the players, when they have generally put a shift in ,that aint going help is it 

Singing Darren Moore your football is <ovf censored> is understandable, as it is, however if CS keeps him which she may do , then them same players your shouting at ,well you need them deliver winning performances for you so giving them <ovf censored> doesnt help anyone ..

They are fourth in league have a manager who builds his team on clean sheets 

Did they deserve win 

No 

If they did im sure i was watching a different game in the rain at Lincoln 

V Wycombe we

gave up 5 goalscoring chances 

Today we gave none at all 

So it wasnt a solid performance .

Yes it was 

Be negative by all means, but watch the game and say what you see, if you havent seen any positives today you dont know football  .

Happy 150th Anniversary everyone. 😑

There’s nobody decent to play at RB, RWB, LB, LWB whoever is in charge.

Hopefully the four injured players are fit and remain fit from Jan 1st onwards. If not and i agree with you, i think we might be signing yet another full back, or two.

Now here’s the problem. Who is going to make the decision on who will be the DoF. We need the person we dont trust with footballing decisions to make a good decision on an important footballing appointment (Rember the last one she appointed was flitcroft). Its valeception. 

Can see it now DM is removed from his position and promoted to DofF.  Last DofF came for the manager slot and talked himself in as DofF.  

Carol you need to act now and remove DM of his managerial position or your hard work is down the drain.

8 points adrift of 19th so essentially 1 place up for grabs now to survive in the medium term.

Lincoln were very meh didn’t really do much and get a 1-0 that’s the biggest concern. We didn’t really do anything.

We played ok in general but was nothing up top.

Lincoln are streets ahead of us. Hope and pray we can be " a Lincoln " in a few years time.

Who in our team today would get into the Lincoln team ? No one

Dude, this week you were calling for garrity (an attacking mid) at right back, Johnson (a winger) at centre half, and Waine up front, with George Byers as manager.

Joe, I respect and admire your posts on here generally, and you've written some humdingers in the last few years, but I think you're being a bit harsh on Carol, and you do seem to want to close down responses when you make comments like "no discussion to be had".  Isn't that the whole point of this forum? You seem to be implying that you're obviously right and don't want anyone suggesting otherwise.  We're all guilty of that at times, but we all agree Carol has been good for the club, (why use the term goddess? Trying to criticise those people who praise her efforts?). We all agree that her investment and faith has been let down this season by the manager and the players - and yes, it was her call to appoint that manager, and of course relation would be a bad thing, but...

I think with a lot of comments on here, angry though we all are at what is/isn't happening on the pitch, we fans need to pause before we lash out for this week's scapegoat. No-one will be more aggrieved than Carol at what is going on after all she has done - they are her millions after all -  but perhaps she just needs help in the longer term to avoid repeating the mistakes? 

To use the sort of language some people are using on here seems a bit extreme. We're all upset, but a bit of perspective and calm maybe? Carol will be bankrolling the January window, the new manager as and when, and a lot more besides to try and keep the club moving forward. Yes, she may be regretting her decision to appoint Moore for 5 years now, but hindsight is a wonderful thing isn't it?  I don't lay this entirely at her door, she must be in mental anguish right now at what is going on. A lot of people on here were pleased at Moore's appointment and particularly his connections on the game when he was appointed. It's a shame it hasn't worked out at this level. We may be relegated, we've bounced back before. Life goes on.

I agree the bar could never be Smurthwaite, who wasn't a football man, and in it for himself. Carol is light years from him as a person who genuinely cares. Her understanding of football maybe isn't as strong as her understanding of how to run a business, but give her a break. We need someone in alongside her to advise on the football side, and quickly. And for all we know, that may already be happening, since something has to give - we can't go on like this.  I think Moore isn't the answer for this division with this squad. Carol thought he was. Snapping at her for that mistake and not sacking him immediately seems a bit pointless now really, even if it helps get something off our collective chest. I hope she'll change it, maybe things are already afoot, we don't know. But for me, Carol still has enough credit in the bank to deserve being treated with dignity.

Grim times aren't they though? I'm pretty despondent this evening at the state we are in. Yes, relegation is damaging, but there is still plenty of discussion to be had.

 

Carol is falling woefully short of the expected standard of ‘not damaging the club in two consecutive League 1 seasons by making very bad decisions and ignoring your fanbase’.

If we go down then there’s no coming back for her imo. A disgrace. This is so avoidable.

When do the Vale media team do their goal of the month montage?! 

Shall we rename to chance of the month? What about opponents goal of the month?

Or the ultimate in shrinkflation……goal of the quarter?

What are the positives ? You tell me because I can’t see any? 1 shot on goal an it came 84th minute please tell me what’s so positive about that besides the fact not scored since world war 11 nor won.
