All this shows is that if we hire a continuity manager we will be down in the bottom 3rd of L2. The manager needs to be completely different in terms of ethos and set up.

Thought that was a good tackle to be fair.

Was a good tackle. Ridiculous decision

Darren was not ever my messiah, and the League football performances this season have unarguably been unacceptably poor.

I simply believe in giving the maximum support that I can to the people who are currently managing (on and off the pitch) and playing for our club.

Others choose to believe that endlessly moaning their bags off in some way magically helps the club.

Each to their own.

Not much support- you don’t go the games, well, not very often. 

We may as well get drubbed 5 every week than not going for it. 
We aren’t in a position to play negative crap. 
We simply have to be on the front foot.

You think that was a red? Do you just disagree with everyone else on purpose? 

I do think that was a red, yes, and it will definitely not be overturned on appeal.

Whereas I thought that their lad who picked up a yellow for a high boot on Mitch was very hard done to, and that one was not a card at all.

Oh, and you are not "everyone".

Shipley needs subbing off, obviously.

Well, I make that 8 hours and 15 minutes without a home league goal. 
103 days.

A few points from that first half. 
Shipley is a <ovf censored> horrific footballer. He hasn’t got a right foot and his left one needs putting in plaster. Utter garbage.

Why is Stockley seemingly in behind Cole? Surely the target man should be on their last man? Cole is robbing a wage. Another fair weather player. At least Stockley is putting himself about.

Byers is waste of a wage. Always has been. If that’s my captain, I’m not responding. Minimal effort and could lead a horse to water.

Lionel Richie at the back. He isn’t good enough. Sadly he’s the best we have. Says it all.

Johnson would probably stand out more in a good side. He’s the only one I’m looking at with some quality.

If this shower can’t score a goal in the 2nd half against ten men then those who go every week may as well find a new hobby until August.

Shambolic first half performance.

Agree with everything bar Byers. He needs good footballers to play off, otherwise he has nothing. He looks good alongside Ojo/Walters. Croasdale and Shipley offer him nothing

Curtis and Hall on for John and Croasdale. Don’t mind that at least.

I think we'll score some goals this half. Come on the Port Vale.

Strong and unnecessary follow through, but it’s a booking at most for me.

How many minutes since a home league goal is it now? 

That Stockley miss was inexcusable, for a recognised striker to not even work the keeper is simply not good enough.

528 mins. And that was a 95th min pen. 570 mins since the last goal in open play at home. 20th of fucķing September.

Stockley and Shipley off. Both pretty damn bad, Curtis and hall on 

Your fault if we lose.a

Hall and Curtis on.

A 4-4-2 with wingers and two strikers?

It’s taken the clowns in charge half a season to do it.

That's the least of it, v593 - I had £100 on Vale to finish top half this season ... 😄

If a footballer needs good footballers around him to be a good footballer then he isn’t a good footballer.
