In my opinion, Stoke are our only rivals. I hate them with a passion and they hate us just as much.
We haven’t been in the same league as them since 2001.
If we played them in a league or cup game again I think it would be carnage.
I just think derbies like Vale and Stoke and Bristol City...
Rodney isn’t a striker and never will be. He’s not clever enough to play upfront. His biggest strength is pace and power and he can utilise this better out wide by literally knocking it past the full back.
Wilson is clearly a class footballer and I expect him to bang goals in.
We’ve got a...
Crowd was definitely a lot more than 6986. They just opened the gates and let people in due to the queues so doubt these people were counted properly. Also, there was scanner issues so a lot of people were just let in without the ticket being scanned.
I doubt many people will be coming back in...
Didn’t we take that many to Tranmere last time we played them away with fans?
If we are doing well we will take anywhere above 1200.
We had 1200 at Northampton last week (albeit the first away game in a while) which is a longer journey and a lot less attractive game.
Tranmere have Jay Spearing, no wonder they had more possession. He’s the best midfielder in this division by far. If he was in our team we would have won.
However, they did fuck all with any possession they had and barely looked like scoring.
We won’t concede many goals but we are lacking in...
4 in a row. How we have managed to get ourselves to 16th in this league I’ll never know.
I’ll say it again. This season we should have got promoted.
Hopefully we kick on now, finish the season well and sort ourselves out next season.
What a strange team we have and what a strange season it’s been. How we’ve ended up this season in a relegation battle I’ll never know.
Typical Port Vale. I’ve been saying it for every year of my life.
Great win, almost forgot what it feels like to be giving out praise and not slagging everything about the club off every week.
We do look like a half decent team when our strongest players are actually on the pitch. We’ve had to play too many crap players week in week out and swap the team...
To be fair, every time we played Walsall whilst under Clarke you seemed very good going forward. We have conceded 9 in our last 3 games against Walsall.
God that was terrible. Up there with one of the worst games of football I’ve ever had to watch. We genuinely didn’t have one meaningful chance, against Stevenage at home in the fourth division.
We played five at the back and decided that hoofball and counter attack would somehow work. No one is...
Very happy with that appointment. I was expecting someone with very little experience etc after we appointed Flitcroft as DOF. So to get Flitcroft and Clarke is pretty impressive. Both are arguably better managers than Askey.
Time will tell if it works. However, we’ve certainly pushed the boat...
We are shit, end of discussion. I’m sick of analysing it every week, to get to the conclusion that we are shit. Regardless of whoever our owners are, we are still shit, just as shit as we were under Smurthwaite. I’m sick of being shit for nearly every season of my life. Sorry for using the word...
I actually quite liked Askey and 99% of our fan base were very happy with him up until 6 weeks ago. However, he should have gone weeks ago when it became clear that he was unable to ‘stop the rot’. A few unlucky, poor results spiralled into 6 points from 36. That should never have happened...
That was a joke of a performance. There’s no bottle or character in any of them. I’m sick of watching that every week and saying the same things.
Regardless of whatever is going on or has gone on behind the scenes I’m afraid Askey has to go now. It’s a results business at the end of the day...
Up the fucking Vale. Where that result came from I have no idea but we badly needed it. To score 6 goals away at Bolton in any league is no mean feat. Bolton were actually pretty decent going forward and our defence still looks shaky. However there defence was abysmal and we looked ruthless for...
