It’s the hope that kills you I guess. It seems as if all the positivity around Vale over the last 12-18 months has somehow been zapped in the space of a month. Only at Port Vale FC. Askey has gone from being a favourable manager backed to get us promoted to now having fans wanting him out...

Typical knee jerk reaction from Vale fans that’s all. Win a few games and we are going to win the league at a canter, lose a few games and it’s Askey out. I genuinely think that many Vale fans expected us to walk the league. Askey is a solid manager, he’s not perfect but he’s massively...

I said it all pre-season and nothing has changed, we don’t score enough goals. Our main priority all summer should have been to sign a number 9 that would be first choice and get a run of games. What we actually have is 4 strikers of similar ability who end up getting rotated every so many...

Typical Port Vale. At half time being 2-0 up I thought we would of cruised to victory. The sending off obviously changed the game but fair play to Tranmere, they still scored 4 goals (and had one disallowed) in that second half which is no mean feat. Joyce let us down badly, silly challenge...

I said it before the season and the fact still remains that we don’t score enough goals. It’s rare that teams get promoted by only managing 1 or 2 goals a game throughout the season. Cambridge took the lead early in the second half and after that I never really thought that we’d get an...

Typical Port Vale, we’ve gone from basically having Maynard confirmed at the end of last week (as we were led to believe) to signing Theo Robinson today. I’m not writing Robinson off, he is an okay signing who may turn out good. However, Maynard would have been a guaranteed starter who in my...

I have a feeling Nicky Maynard will be signing for Vale tomorrow.

Quite a lot of people seem to be fancying us this season! Personally I’d be surprised if we are challenging to win the league but would be hopeful for play offs. We were steady enough last season but we never looked like we were going to get in the play offs/ challenge for promotion until...

Personally I don’t think there should be any play-offs, top 4 should just be promoted. To miss out on the play-off by 0.4 points is also disappointing, but that is from a bias point of view. PPG is probably the fairest way but as said before it doesn’t take into account upcoming fixtures. For...

Why would we drop Conlon and Burgess? Burgess has been excellent this season and his energy can’t be replaced. Manny looked way off the pace when he came on and we carried him at times. Taylor and Manny have to earn the right to get back in the starting eleven. The only changes I’d make would be...

Happy to take a point as we got battered for around 25/30 minutes of that second half. We never really got hold of the game and put our stamp on it although we went ahead twice. I can’t say that I ever thought we’d win. Fair play to Walsall though, they looked a decent side in that second half.

I love your optimism but let’s forget the auto’s for now please. Also it was only last month after the Salford cup game that we were all saying that we have no strength in depth! Funny how things change in football isn’t it? Anyway, another big game today. Up the Vale x

Pretty impressive following if we sell the lot. Never known us to travel in huge number to Walsall.

I see a lot of Vale fans getting carried away on here and social media lately! Yes, we are on great form and have given ourselves a good chance but let’s just keep our feet on the ground. Let’s enjoy the ride and see where it takes us. There’s a long way to go yet.

Great win which makes it two consecutive away wins on the bounce, unheard for us really! First half we were very good, limited Forest Green to minimal chances, worked hard and put the opposition under pressure. Mitch Clark was very impressive. Second half, especially the last 20 minutes was...

Brilliant second half, it’s nice to see a reaction like that so credit where it’s due. Came out second half with a lot more energy and we capitalised on our momentum as soon as we equalised.

We have been absolutely terrible, again.

Extremely poor.

Probably the easiest 3 points Swindon will gain all season. We’re just so boring and lacklustre away from home. At home we try and play on the front foot and make the opposition at least think. Today we were never going to score in a million years and it’s as if the players thought that too...

He rarely held it up against Morecambe or Stevenage away. Harry Kane would struggle to make an impact the way we played that half.
