Ref will say denial of clear goalscoring opportunity I'd have thought. To give him a red is nonsense though. Those challenges happen all the time in the box and often aren't even given as fouls.

Nah, I agree. And did when he was playing for us.

Vale fans - was the ref this week just rubbish or part of the organised conspiracy against you?

£8K a week???? Surely nobody apart from possibly Premier loanees get anywhere near that at this level?

Level on goal attempts and we're dominating possession stats. Possession means little but it hardly adds up to Crewe being completely comfortable. Get the feeling we'll step this up in the second half too. (I reserve the right to delete that last sentence when we fold pitifully).

4 changes and it shows. Seems a strange game to rest players for but maybe we fancy Bradford on Saturday more than this one. Got a lot of cavalry on the bench though.

Cliche, but what players are worth is what someone will pay for them. We've got around a million each of the last 3 seasons - Assal to some Kuwait team, Rudoni to Huddersfield and Al Hamadi to Ipswich. The Assal fee was truly insane but Rudoni has since gone for over 4 million (20% sell-on...

Looks like us and Crewe are all agreed then. Let's shake on it and do like West Germany and Austria in 1982. No injuries, nobody has to take time off work or spend money.

Ahem. Madness you say? https://londonnewsonline.co.uk/sport/dons-paid-club-record-transfer-fee-for-charlton-striker-as-they-outline-playing-budget-approach-for-2022-23-league-two-season/

Not so sure about the penalty - your lad started it with a two-handed push on O'Toole so maybe the ref saw it as tit for tat. The goal was embarrassing, though. Saw a side of Stevens I didn't like tonight - that wasn't the only time he conned the ref. It was always going to be a scrappy and...

I'll get in early and say that was the most blatant handball for our goal you can hope to see.

Thought this was worth repeating. His chesticles didn't win you over then?

Another year, another product from our goalkeeper factory who we'll never see play for us. Be nice if one of them stayed eventually but we'll probably seem him again down at this level eventually after sitting as 6th choice for a decade at Brighton. A “substantial six-figure fee” for a...

Yet in our last two home games we lost to Daggers in the cup and threw away a two goal lead against Newport. If we were consistently that good we'd be right up there, but you could probably say the same for most teams in the top half.

Tranmere were far from the worst side we've played and created enough chances. But if the only option on the bench to address dreadful finishing is Josh Davison then it's going to be a long season for them. 10 goals in 16 games equates to 29 over the season - which is guaranteed relegation on...

Maybe Palios is running out of cash. Did he actually have that much to start with?

I just came here to say that. I'm no legal person but reads to me like it's secured against the ground. Seems like one of yours was in the know about this a while back. https://www.onevalefan.co.uk/forum/topic/62322-smurf-interest-in-tranmere/

Absolutely no long-term trends here.

Flooding was one of the concerns with the site but it was meant to have been mitigated by underground tanks to store floodwaters. Something's clearly gone wrong with the forecasts or construction.

It'll be a good indication for both clubs about where we really are in the grand scheme of things this season. We've been in good early season form but ended up battling relegation before so not counting any chickens at this stage. We do have much deeper squad strength and are seemingly more...
