Substitutions

[Alan Baker]

We know why he was outclassed though last week don't we because it was 2 against 5. Today he was one of the best of a generally poor bunch!

 

I disagree. I know that Burge is a good player but he looked tired today.

Shuker looked even smaller today. It was like watching a time bandit

I totally disagree Alan.....Where you supping Caroline's Vino.......After Jones he was our best player.......

[jeffers]

They all look tired playing in the Burslem Bog.

I said when he subbed Yatesy,he's the only other Vale player he can nearly look in the eye.:D

[old sage]

He was second only to Jones today.

I agree Tosh

[Alan Baker]

I thought that Vincent had a decent game.

[Emile]

Game of what? It cant have been football because he was dreadful, again. Hes been awful since he won player of the month in November.

[Valiant Haze]

I thought that Vincent had a decent game.

 

I agree Alan

You have been on the Vino...........

Alan please tell me that you are jesting!. Vincent's performance was like his performance last week...horrible. If Adams keeps selecting him promotion is going to be a long slog. We should be walking our way to L1 but Vincent gives us nothing. Yeah he's got 8 goals but Louis Dodds has 7 and adds so much more to the team.

Come on Al speak to me . Caroline rush him to A & E:(

[valiant_593]

How can anyone suggest that Vincent had a good game today is beyond me. He was awful!

[CAVALIER]

Vincent wasnt that bad today.Loft was, so too Yates. Myrie should have been taken off when he got booked as it clearly upset him and he didnt want the ball. Pope had his worst game for ages and taking off Hughes was the wrong move. None of the subs offered anything.

[TheSage]

JM-W and Vincent got worse as the game went on. Both were out-muscled and knocked off their stride by stronger more determined opponents.

Maybe Dodds and Taylor might have offered us more. Dodds certainly would.

 

Why this vendetta against Shuker? He links the play well in the right formation and is a decent little player.

 

We only have ourselves to blame today. We spurned some chances and Neal made a blunder at the back. If you want to criticise someone today Neal is your man if you are that way inclined. Pope was also poor, Loft mediocre, as was Yates, but I don't expect those 3-4 will cop any blame.

 

We lost - a bit unluckily on the balance of play, but get over it and move on instead of looking for scapegoats all the time. These things happen.

My problem with Micky's substitutions is simple. There's no tactics involved whatsoever. It's almost always Williamson for Hughes after about 60 minutes, Andrew for one of the wingers after 80 minutes plus one other - generally Shuker for someone in recent weeks. There seems to be very little adjustment depending on the match situation.
