None of the 7 worked NW9, none of the 7 had the significant, consistent impact Vale/Brady required. I get the risk taken on Gray and Hernandez, these two and Archer had their moments but Archer was horrifically inconsistent.

Hardly playing Gray and/or Hernandez was bizarre and playing Hernandez mostly at wing back was even more bizarre.

Playing Hernandez as wingback reminds me of moore using curtis and G.hall as wing back due to injuries.

We have played 26 games under Brady including F.A cup and Vertu trophy .

I dont think people should sugarcoat the wins too much v Bristol Rovers, we made hard work of that ,v Fleetwood i thought they deserved take us too extra time ,v Bristol City scored with one of very few home goal attempts v Sunderland yes we won but different if they hadnt missed a sitter ,we had hardly any attempts v them aswell 

Deserved ones v Peterboro Bolton Northampton away Bolton in vertu trophy ,underwhelming one v Rotherham where if they headed anywhere other than down Gaucis throat they had of scored ..

So in 26 games he as got the team deserving of winning in 4 of them ..

Any more im trying think i probably missed them .

Hernandez is a very good player, should have been used more especially in attacking positions, ,not used because maybe has a character like Paton /Curtis ,,fun ones ,i get the feeling Brady likes robotic athletes who like too draw 0- 0.

Not impressed at all in standard of games under him i mean we get a 0-0 v Huddersfield Barnsley with them having 19 goal attempts each how many did we have ?

Gray criminally not used he surely had of offered more than Sherif and Brown put together ,mind you Brady only plays 1 up front as he as too have 8 defenders on the 5 mins when stockley snd Gray were on we looked much better for it v Barnsley and whats happened since none in team...

Crikey cannot wait see what he brings in 

Its very worrying 

 

What a load of waffle. 😂😂

So wins don't count unless we dominated the game and outplayed the opposition. Cup wins don't count because we had a bit of fortune along the way.

Christ, you don't half talk some crap.

As regards our January window, my concern would be that when we needed to strengthen we instead actually weakened our squad, obviously with the likes of Curtis & Cole this might of been out of our control slightly but the other moves we made also seemed very odd, Whilst Debrah was not the best I’d have him in the team over  Magloire or Campbell, Letting Clark go and then having to play an unfit Hernandez at wing back sums our business up really! I’d have preferred Paton to have had a run in the side over Gray or the likes of Brown, I think even Plant or Shorrock could of offered as much as Archer as a winger? We must make much better decisions this summer or we will be in trouble.

I don't want to go over this again, but why are people still going on about who we signed in January as some sort of barometer to who we sign in the summer.

We were already relegated when Brady came in. We were too far adrift. He had access to the absolute dregs of the barrel. Players that were either unfit or that no one else wanted. Magliore is really the only one you can really throw shade at Brady. He tried him and quickly realised he wasn't up to it and has barely played him since.

He brought in Gray and Hernandez as chancers to try and get fit and make a difference with their quality. Unfortunately Gray is well past it and Hernandez looks to have quality but was so unfit he just couldn't turn it around.

We're now going to be one of the biggest teams in league 2, with one of the biggest budgets and a manager with a proven track record of doing well in this league. We're likely to be an attractive prospect for another Tolaj type from non league as well as some of the better players from league 2.

It's a completely clean slate as far as I'm concerned.

Yeah but its true though this season has being a absolute disgrace 

150th year getting relegated 

Keep happy clapping fella 

I rarely attend any more and after this campaign ill hardly attend again .

No trust in football club 

Too many bad decisions 

Another wasted campaign in league 1 our second in 3 years 

We dont have the financial muscle compete  

A small club whos limit is promotion too league 1 then stand there and go this is hard we cannot do it  and go down and annoy numerous support 

I cannot not watch league 2 again 

If Hernandez signs i will go say 10 games max if not none ...

Goodbye Vale and good luck in future.

...

I will hope when pop in read forum that theres great passionate support, commenting on games not support who go and not encourage and it comes across like that when commenting on threads 

For me ill wake up and go walks ,gym swim and might look at Vale scores ,might not ,as im utterly appalled at what ive seen this campaign .

I'm not directing this at you but I often think this 'I'm never going again ' talk is a bit childish.

I've been going for 40+ years and believe me, we'd have no fans left if everyone who threatened to not go again didn't.

Unfortunately, it's the nature of our club that we will have good times and bad times. I agree that the owners have made a mess of it, but we've had much worse times and much worse seasons. We nearly got relegated out of the league completely less than 10 years ago.

The owners are just the custodians of the club and the players are just temporary. We were here before them and we'll be here after them.

Throwing your toys out of the pram after a bad year is akin to a toddler throwing a tantrum because they didn't get the toy they wanted.

Everyone has a right to criticise the owners, they've definitely made mistakes and I believe that there is definitely people who could do a better job. But right now, they are all we have and without supporters, through thick and thin, there is no football club.

Why do you call people who disagree with you "happy clappers". Your support for Vale depends on results whilst others like myself committ to Vale through good/bad times. If everyone was like you there would be no Vale.

Didn't you say earlier in the season you weren't going again..but then something changed your mind,your either Vale or you aren't it's your choice I'm sure the people who run the club won't be crying if you don't go again, your taking everything to seriously, take a chill pill and just enjoy what comes with supporting the Vale 🤔....I went my first vale game in 1969 and hopefully I'll continue until I shuffle off this mortal coil,I pick my games now because living 124 miles away it is an expensive business to pay for the travel and a match ticket..

How many times have said your not going unless something happens you like, what are you going to do if Hernandez doesn't want to sign ?

My advice, seriously, given in good faith, give it a miss, stay away, it's  doing you no good.

Don't worry, you can copy and paste this response for next time DD wants to let of steam and 'stop going'.

DD is what bipolar would manifest itself as if it were a football fan. 

The world is ending when we do bad. 
And then things are manic when there's another game coming around, never mind us doing well. 

As they say, it's the hope that kills. And he just seems to respawn every other week at the moment. 

Which is fine, but he'd do well to just chill out sometimes.

I've been a fan since the 90s and the apathy has really set in in recent years. It doesn't help that I've been living abroad since 2019 and that I've got a 3 year old daughter that demands my attention at 4pm on a Saturday. But I've had ifollow, Pvtv and valiant newsletter subscriptions over the years and they've all been cancelled. This season I stopped watching matches live after the boring games in the previous season I just couldn't stomach it. I still love the club, still wear my shirts (not the recent seasons ones as I don't like the design) and still tell people all about 'my club'. But the apathy is real towards football in general and the club would have to do something special to get me back as a regular payer. 

That being said I'm hoping for a really nice shirt design next season so I can buy my daughter her first vale shirt.
