Gutted! Lets be fair they didn't deserve to lose, but on the other hand we battled and to lose in last minutes in that manner hurts more! We can hold are heads high tho we held a top league 1 side till 90th minutes! Neal was excellent as normal! Most of team battled and did well! Myrie- Williams non existent, rob Taylor not good enough! Ref was awful but no excuse! We are still in jpt cup and second in league! Better times ahead

 

Seem to recall JMW playing Pope in for the goal?

DEVASTATED tonight :-(

Maybe jmw did play pope in but did nothing else! I'm not slagging him off but today he was bad and didn't look like he was bothered

If we have aspirations of promotion that's something like the standard of players we will need.

They put 2 men on him every time he got a sniff.

Chris Neal not a happy chappy:

“@warrenbeattie1: @Nealo01 gutted for you mate. #cruelgame” cheated mate, fuming!!

Heartbroken. To concede one in stoppage time is bad enough, but two is horrendous. In the end the lads just didn't have enough steam, and to be honest we should have conceded around 5-10 mins earlier than we did.

 

Still we need to treat this as a blessing in disguise and we can focus 100% on the league now.

 

I think that's what upset me so much! I just knew it'd happen. From about 85 mins I was shouting at the lads, through the tele, to hold on...not to let it go. I was gutted when their first goal went in and I shan't say what I said when the second went in.

 

I've calmed down a bit now and after a conversation with my son and daughter in law who said that they battered us second half it doesn't seem quite so bad. I wish their goals had come earlier though

A point I was just about to make ll. When, notice when not if, we're promoted we're going to be playing teams at their level every week. I suppose we could take solace in the fact that, judging by todays performance, we're not that far off.

We got what we deserved 2nd half, Yes they might be a league above but we we sat back and played like a non league team trying to defend against a prem league team which does not suit our play. We lack mental strength when were winning by small margins

[ELDERBEZZA]

Take a bow the Vale team and fans, as you were all tremendous today:clap::clap:For all who moan just take a minute to realise that our liitle Port Vale have taken a much bigger club to the wire today.Just roar them on to promotion now.

Wish we didn't play so deep whenever we go ahead.

 

We always do! I'm a great fan of MA, but unfortunately his approach on this particular issue drives me barmy, as we do it so many times. I keep hoping (looks like in vain again after today) for a change in tactics. I've lost count of how many goals we've conceded in the last quarter of matches.

I know what you mean--but wish their goals hadn't come at all! Would have loved to be in that draw tomorrow, but we'll just have to concentrate on the league and ensure 3 more points against Chesterfield next Saturday.

We were literally seconds away from a certain televised replay with a decent attendance.

 

Football is so so cruel at times.

[southport vale]

Have to say whatever Adams saidat halftime either didn't sink in or it was wrong. The last 5 mins of the first half and second half were the same. Sorry Micky but putting Rob Taylor on was a massive mistake for the last 15 mistake we let the rain balls into our box no challenge whatsoever from that moment on the result was inevitable.

How the ref gave the corner when headed by a Sheffield player was frankly unbelievable.

Ah well siting in Yatess Sheffield drowning my sorrows.

Oh crikey, me to! It just seems so cruel to lose almost after the 90 minutes.

 

Oh well, it wasn't to be and, as you say, we need to concentrate of the legue to ensure out promotion to division 1.
