In what way do his interviews frustrate you?

It just all seems too “obvious” when he speaks. The bit that tipped the balance was the comments on Shipley and Faal. Probably his over analysing stuff but I’m not sure I’m ready to trust somone who openly supports 2 of the worst players this season.

It’s not about Port Vale, it’s about us and we.

Thats why it’s all honest and why fans will run through a brick wall for him

He talks about only having 2 number nines in Brown /Stockley and he as too manage there workload.

What a load of piffle does this man have no imagination at all ...

Garrity can play up front ,and put himself about ,you could play G Hall up there, and thread balls through you dont have to play either of them ,Stockley /Brown if not contributing well too a game and you dont wait 45 mins if someones not playing well drag them off as soon as possible if not at it the beauty of 5 subs ...

Exeter game as soon as thst goal goes in Henegan off  outmanoeuvred, and Gabriel jogging back ,and goalkeeper in no mans land all 3 off we cannot afford docileness all off for me .

So if forwards are not involved and doing stuff which gives the opposition a leg up as there losing all 50 /50 balls ,and after 30 mins havent had a shot at goal or created a clear cut chance dont wait around haul off ..

Gauci and his kicking also we aint playing Rugby five nations 

I dont see how a midfield trio of Ojo Croasdale  and Garrity works i didnt see last 28 mins of Exeter has went home , but we scored a goal and Stockley should have scored another with Humpfries moved too midfield, too be honest could K John be our Andy Porter could he move into midfield and snap into challenges while byers out ..he could for me imagination ...

Its all about bravery now and having a go 5 -4 wins if needs be ,so breaking the lines like did v Exeter first 14 mins what should have led too 2 goals is the way go 

G Hall K John Humpfries as midfield 3 try something else 

Energy pace and something different

Correct Brian, its a subtle difference from Moore that has got people onside. Crucially though, it means little. It just sounds good.

Talks about being positive in midfield then suggests playing Kyle John and Humphreys in there. Never change DD.

Who's going? Feel last night was the final straw for most, even us hardened, long standing loons who still had a jot of hope. Maybe a few games off will allow us all to recover our sanity and stress levels. It really has become a chore.

I”ll be there, as always.

Burton will do a job on us !

I think this is another Vale perversity job, winning one everyone thinks we will lose.

Lol must be getting old as went out earlier for a birthday lunch at stone the italian place across from car park near crown wharf had a pint of peroni got back home  went bed for 3 hrs 

Liverpool tomoz for the rest of birthday family meal then work tomoz night so ill be asleep no doubt if .

Hope Andre Gray makes a difference, a early goal a bit of confidence ,a go for it mentality i just think the season is about getting good performance levels out of every picked player obviously be realistic we are nearly done and dusted in terms of home performance levels well they need be very good from here on in if are that may persuade folks too renew there season tickets .

Obviously thst comes down too the mentality of the players .

People say the support are quiet ,its hard not be when all season long we have given far many average too mediocre sides a leg up ,a goal a afternoon where the players havent stirred from there sleep .

I would love it if every fan was singing and dancing at 4 down like German clubs support do and a lot of foreign support teams enthusiastically support there clubs when losing i watch and think yeah i like thst it shows character in there love of there respective clubs  no matter what the result so yes i think fans need too up there game but hard too when so disillusioned .

Enjoy the game hope firstly Vale play very well and send Burton home defeated

If a player is still at the club you can't really criticise them in public. Whatever a manager's private thoughts are we don't know. Adams's rant about Sam Morsy lost the club a good young player. Shipley is a injury away from starting a match.

Winter league golf cancelled again 

Can now make this early kick off 

Come on vale 

This really is last chance

Dont get the brady stick whatsoever. What were people expecting that our squad would instantly start playing free flowing football and we would be scoring for fun. There is deep rooted issues that are going to take time to fix

Sadly one of the problems with modern day football fans is that they expect instant results and improvement but as we know to often here that rarely happens

From the sublime to the ridiculous.

Nobody is expecting that at all.

What we are expecting is to see what he’s trying to do even if it’s marginal.

He’s already been found wanting with his tactics, his lack of awareness of what’s unfolding in front of him in the game. 

God knows what his half time team talks are like because out of the 6 games he’s been in charge, we have lost 4 second halves.

 

I have said many times he was nowhere near my first choice but i guess we have to ride with it for now,i like what he says BUT talk is easy and can often just be what you want to hear which is what he seems good at.

Today will be his 7th game in charge, 3 wins and 3 losses but only 1 league win which we all know is the most important stat,we now need to be shown what all the talk is about,it has to be proven. He seems to have a lot of confidence in Gray and Sherif so lets see if it pays dividends,I hope to see Gray play today and i guess Sherif will start on Tuesday

Oh well Onwards and Upwards I hope

Faal i actually thought looked to be improving when Brady came in before his injury(i would certainly take him over Brown),Shipley totally agree that his comment was strange because for me he would never play for us again

No you won’t, you don’t go the games, well hardly ever, certainly not if Stoke are playing the same time.
