No, they just encountered the same issue a lot of teams do against us at home. Because we dominate possession, the only way a lot of the bottom half teams can stick with us is by chasing us down hard for the first hour. That means that in the last 20-25 minutes, they are knackered. Seen it...

Almost a perfect day for us. Now 10 points clear of Bradford in 8th with a massively better GD. 4 points clear of Plymouth in 4th as well. Getting close to the point now where we could lose form and still scrape together enough wins to get in the play-offs. Got Crawley on Tuesday and then Macc...

YES YES YES!!! Fully deserved after beating down the door and getting nowhere. Down Powell, down Lowery, lost Anene for the final 20 minutes meaning we had to throw on an ageing striker who hasn't played in 2 months. Oldham weren't shocking, but they weren't brilliant either. Offered little in...

Good bench, but the spine of the team concerns me. Nottingham and Offord have been fine in their last 2, but this will test them. And in midfield, still the same trio. I like Finney, but Jones scares me. And I wonder what sort of shape Wintle is in, given he's missed zero game time since the...

You are joking right? You are easily top 10, probably top 5. How in demand were the likes of Adams, Lines and McCormack in free agency? Did they come to Northampton for the scenic views? A top quality stadium? A massive fan base? To play for a proven winner in Curle? And then you paid 3...

Boy have you got the wrong end of the stick. Look at the table and tell me it's useful. Is a poll of 10 or fewer fans a true reflection of what a club is doing? Hell, is is even useful if it's not 10% or more? I mean, you want a sign of how bad this is, look at Bolton's score. One of the...

Fair point. Like I said, it's only my speculation, not basing it with any facts. I pointed out you could make a case that several teams should be higher or lower. I was also basing it on the fact that he and the board felt you had a top half side this season, hence the dissatisfaction with...

He's been favourite eh? Funny, because I've seen him mentioned with any of the clubs who've had a vacancy this season. Got And if he gets you up, then thinking he'll stay with you is naive. A mid-sized L1 club comes knocking, he'll be off like a shot and he'd be stupid not to. As for...

Hey, I'm bored, so why not speculate. My order, based only on what kind of players each team has are: 1. Mansfield - Yeah, you can't convince me they aren't top are at least in the top 2. 2. Scunthorpe - Got a massive squad of players probably on L1 salaries. Definitely in the top top 5 and...

Could do with a couple of bodies back for this. I know he improved in the 2nd half last week, but I don't want Jones anywhere near the first team. Walking disaster area. Hope Lowery or Green is fit enough to play in his place. Also hope Finney is fit after what looked like a groin issue last...

How can you publish results with no clear sample size minimum limit and claim it means anything? Sure, some clubs can take it as useful, but at least half the clubs had less than 10 responses. Feels like a waste of time to read anything into this.

I was reading about Barrow in the Athletic the other day. They best pray they get up this season, because managers like Evatt don't stick around very long. As soon as word gets out about the work he's doing there, he's going to be in high demand. Looks like a rising star, wonder how long they'll...

Vaughan gone from Bradford to Tranmere as rumoured. Best hope Bowyer has a decent replacement lined up.

I doubt it has anything to do with morals. More, he knows he can do a job in L1 and he doesn't want to drop down to L2. Especially not for a mid-table Salford team who barring a miracle won't be making the play-offs this season.

With Calderwood and Hurst gone, every single one of the bottom 11 sides has now changed manager. From the outside looking in, this seems like it's totally on the manager. No, not the injuries or the bad luck in some games. But in that he wants to sign more players when by my count, you have...

Made to work really hard for that. Orient were excellent in the middle third, but didn't have the quality to make their impressive play count, plus they looked shaky at the back. Not a good performance from us, but given the disruption in the squad, it's an impressive and welcome 3 points. Onto...

We've had some good chances, but you've been by far the better team. Knocked it around nicely. Can you keep it up for the whole 90 minutes though?

Looks like everyone is feeling the pinch of the busy last month or so. We've had to rest Tommy Lowery and Nicky Hunt is out with a hip injury. So we're down Porter, Lancashire(meh), Nolan, Lowery(who is on the bench tonight but won't play) and Hunt. Plus fringe players in Rio Adebisi and Travis...

The way I see it, the Vale's problem is the same as it was last season, not enough goals. Not anywhere near as bad as last season, but still a problem. The issue comes from the system. As some of you have said, you need 2 upfront to get more strikers on the pitch, but to do that, you need to...

Have I missed something? I dont see it reported anywhere that hes signed back with you guys?
