To be fair, I'd rather Oyeleke isn't thrown straight back in even if we do need his quality in the middle of the park. And McKirdy starting means dropping Worrall which isn't going to open. Cullen or Pope is a close one and you can make arguments for both. I still think we'd be a better side...

Bit dissapointed with our starting 11. Oyeleke and McKirdy it could be argued are our most talented players along with Amoo, and they're both on the bench! Not sure about Pope over Cullen either. Especially at Vale Park. That said, our bench includes Cullen, McKirdy, Oyeleke and Montano. If...

Tough game on Saturday but you can say that most weeks really. To me Tranmere have a squad that should be looking at a top 10 finish and I expect that to now be fully over their poor start. If they're confident and actually come to play football and attack us though then that will suit us all...

You're currently 19th with a goal difference of -8 and have just been slapped 4-0 by mid-table Leyton Orient. You were giving it the big one and making an absolute twonk of yourself before a ball was kicked this season by basically saying you were going to be Champions and it was all going to be...

It's always good to see someone's team being the equivalent of a car crash after giving it the big en' and telling everyone how amazing they would be. I remember a Bradford fan years ago coming on the OVF forum that literally made his own thread where he listed the entire Bradford squad with a...

Granted I've only seen him a handful of times, but he's always looked like someone that doesn't really have a final pass or shot in him and I can imagine he can be painfully frustrating at times. Will probably score a double against us down the line now!

How does Otis Khan keep making your team? He's awful.

Still don't think we've played anywhere near to our true potential either. Also keep in mind that I don't think we've yet had what many would consider our best 11 out this season once as of yet. Up until the last few games we weren't creating enough. Now my slight gripe is that we are creating...

We didn't play him as a target man either. But to be fair it's never easy coming into what was then a really poor side and making a big impact. I remember him being relatively mobile, but based on his appearances for us that's about the best I can say about him.

He was absolutely hopeless for us, Quigley. Only started one or two games but never offered anything off the bench and often looked like a fan that had won a temporary contract in some sort of raffle, and Aspin had a duty to give him so many minutes.

Put Pope and Legge in Southend's team and they would be a mid-table side. I thought they played some nice football at times, just looked toothless up front and not the sort of team that will get many points once they go one down. Football wise they were a lot better than Morecambe.

Comfortable win in the end, third on the bounce. We were clearly miles better than them but didn't really go up a gear until the second half, and I'm actually dissapointed we only scored two in the end as we could and should have scored 4 or 5. Still, we're missing a ton of players and 9 points...

Don't underestimate our ability to make shit teams on bad runs look half decent! If we score first we'll win the game comfortably, but I'm not as confident as I perhaps should be.

Don't be surprised at all if Southend get something tomorrow. Vale have had a habit of gifting teams on bad runs 3 points for longer than I can remember, and we generally play much better against the better sides too. When teams defend and try to make it difficult by putting 10 or 11 behind the...

Clearly your lot were knackered from that monumental effort against us in midweek! :shifty:

Should have been out of sight in that game in the first half but if you don't take your chances then you're always likely to be hanging on a bit in the end. A much better performance from us today though going forward - We created more in this game than the others before combined almost. I...

Lose today and I think the pressure will soon be on Askey. Not in regards to him keeping his job, he's not at that stage right now. But winning one, drawing one and then losing one isn't good enough considering the squad he has at his disposal. Without any shadow of a doubt we have one of the...

I just like my wide players to have pace and a bit of skill to beat a full-back. He has neither. His crossing is also very hit and miss. Put enough balls in the box and you'll get a few right. I'm interested in this season and the present, not last season. I love his work-rate and haven't...

Although it's obviously far from ideal, we can still put out an 11 that should be much better than 13th. We're just so toothless up front - Everywhere else on the pitch we're as good as anyone else in the league right now. The final ball just isn't there. Worrall isn't a winger for me. He...

Not saying anyone should have put you to the sword. You were decent, as to be expected. But no team in League Two is head and shoulders above everyone else. I still wouldn't have Hannant back unless as a squad player yet he makes your side every week when fit it seems. But he works in your...
