Swindon are clearly a good team but we haven’t laid a glove on them. 0 shots on target and 0 creativity. Defended well for half an hour or so but we can’t keep that up all game and offer nothing going forward. We are being dominated in midfield.
Looks as if we are just going through the motions.
Attacking wise we are so poor and predictable. Pope just isn’t the same Tom Pope as years gone by anymore, he is so immobile. Plus we don’t play to his strengths enough and get decent balls in on his head. Whilst our back up Bennett is simply not good enough even if he is a lot more mobile. His...
Terrible half. As I’ve said previously, we were also terrible against Stevenage but the win papered over the cracks.
We haven’t had a shot yet. I don’t mind losing but with everyone harping on about the play offs you’d think we’d at least be able to lay a finger on the opposition!
Personally don’t think we are good enough to make the play offs and I’d be surprised if we beat Morecambe away tonight. Let’s be honest we should never have won at Stevenage on Saturday. We don’t create enough chances or score enough goals.
Lets just hope we just keep in the mix for the...
Personally that was my best ever day supporting the Vale! Proud as punch right now and that Pope goal will stay with me to the day I die. Might sound cringey and sad as fuck but when you’ve been supporting your club through the dark days for the majority of your life, that 5 minutes or so when...
Great result and performance to match, thoroughly enjoyed the game. We defended well when we had to whilst also looking threatening when going forward. Swindon looked good in possession without really creating much.
We could easily be in the play offs by now but I think inconsistency and...
Fuck sake! Can’t be 2 up and concede 2 in the last 10 minutes! I would have took a point before the game, but if we want to be better and challenge the play offs we have to be seeing games like this out. It’s happened too many times this season now.
I’ve never known a team to panic so much when...
I’d say we are a bigger club than our current home attendance portrays. There are a lot of dormant people in the city who don’t attend regularly that would attach themselves to Vale and not Stoke. This game shows that the potential fan base is there, loads have come out of the woodwork.
Up the Vale! What a day it will be! Only half an hour on the train and 8,000 joyous Vale in Manchester pre kick off.
The away end will combust when we win a corner in the first minute.
I can guarantee that you will not see a more pointless or waste of a signing than Ryan Lloyd signing for us. He was with us for years, barely played, looked non existent when he did play. However, he randomly kept getting contact after contract. Since then he hasn’t pulled up any trees in non...
Like Saturday, I thoroughly enjoyed watching us tonight. Last two games has been like watching a different side. We look like we have a purpose and are energised throughout.
Midfield three suddenly look like they can dictate the game and get us ticking.
Onwards and upwards hopefully!
Had a fiver on Beware the Bear and Laurina double. Thought Laurina was coasting home until a few out.
Had Big River each way which means I’ve broke even just about.
Do we think Beni Des Dieux is a certainty in the next race?
Great result for us. First time I’ve been entertained at Vale Park for ages. Came out the ground feeling a lot more positive.
Today was more like a Micky Adams performance. Getting at the opposition from the off and generally being positive and willing to fight.
I’d forgot what it feels like...
I doubt we’ll even take 800. There’s nothing to get excited about and it will be depressing. I can’t blame anyone for not going, it’s so bad to watch and just a waste of money.
I know I sound like a fair weather fan but I honestly think I’ll lose interest in all things Port Vale if we get relegated to non league. Not that I want too, I will just end up attending less games and naturally my interest will dwindle.
The thing is I’m 99% sure that if we do go down we will...
This has been coming for a while now. Like Micky Adams said in his book, we are just one of those clubs that is similar to a soap opera. There’s always something going on which hits the news headlines.
These depressing times are just something I’m used to and accept now. Throughout my life as...
