17 crosses for Vale... 1 hit the head of someone!

 

[valefan16]

Joyce, Gibbons and Amoo on...

 

[Boz]

Wasn't sure about the Rovers penalty. A lot of our players look jaded and their Rangers loanee is giving us all sorts of trouble down our right. Think I'd take the draw right now.

 

[kieran_vale]

Amoo playing through the middle, be interesting see how this goes. I’ve often thought that should be used as an option for us.

 

[Bottega Don]

I was worried about Taylor coming back after not really tearing up too many trees here, I hadn't even noticed he was playing and now he's been subbed off

 

[PVFCdyl]

Starting to see the negative side of having Carol in charge of the club! I love what she’s done and I am certainly not here to say she needs to leave but it’s clear as day that they are new to this! Took far too long to get rid of Askey and now we’re sitting here watching our side freefall out of the football league with the response to a new manager being “we won’t be rushing it”. Possibly the most important job in the club and we’re playing like this? She needs to stop keeping fans out of the dark and instead of waiting for the right man, go get who she believes is the man to sort out these bunch of useless pricks

 

[kieran_vale]

Shown more life in 4 minutes after half time than the whole first half.

 

[Bottega Don]

Well this game isn't over at all

If Vale get one back they'll win this

 

[ShrimpsMeltdown]

Well that's a hell of a win for us. We never get anything at Exeter. Up to third and finally a zero goal difference, amazing stuff.

 

[Back in the DHSS]

3-1 Harrogate gone to pieces.

 

[Huntsman94]

Wasn't sure about the Rovers penalty. A lot of our players look jaded and their Rangers loanee is giving us all sorts of trouble down our right. Think I'd take the draw right now.

Take a draw at HT after two straight home wins? Have a bit of faith!

 

[Bottega Don]

There's a Vale goal coming here, you can sense it

 

[kieran_vale]

Considering its not his position Amoo has looked more of a striker than all our other ones apart from Rodney have done this year.

Highly unlikely but if we get the next goal then the game is not totally dead for us.

 

[Shrimper92]

Only way we stay up is if the National League season is suspended. I hope it isn't.

 

[Bottega Don]

This is a classic Scunny 2nd half performance this season, our players look shot. We're pretty much relying on Vale just not taking their chances

 

[Shrimper92]

It's alright Bradford, we'll be bringing on Acquah soon...

 

[Bottega Don]

Ah great, 5 at the back once again. The formation we've lost every single game in, 4-1 and 5-0 being the highlights.

 

[Back in the DHSS]

Harrogate down to 10. Bad tempered game this.

 

[Pablosammy]

We've been much brighter this half. Harrogate were getting back into it, and then their lads gone and done a stupid foul while on a yellow and has been sent off. I'm never sure how it'll go when we play 10 men!

 

[Bottega Don]

This tactic of letting Vale have the all the ball and just begging they don't score is shocking, if we throw this away Cox has a lot to answer for

 

[Shrimper92]

Just relegate us now.

 

[pontoonlew]

Only way we stay up is if the National League season is suspended. I hope it isn't.

Speak for yourself, I hope it is

 

[Shrimpurh]

All hope gained in December now gone.

 

[Bottega Don]

That's a massive win but wow that second half performance was shocking. We didn't once try and attack, we just sat back and invited pressure.

We're very lucky Port Vale didn't have any sort of cutting edge because we were there for the taking.

 

[shoddycollins]

Morecambe looked tidy but we are woeful. Carlisle will win 5-0 on Saturday

If the game goes ahead

 

[kieran_vale]

We were improved for parts of the second half but this has been painful viewing. Scunny must wish they could play us every week. Turns out the win over Grimsby was more their failings than our doing, not that it should shock anyone.

As much as I like Carol she needs to show some urgency now. I don’t care if the likes of Pope etc want “Pughy” to get the job. Their performances have forfeited any right to be listened to.

 

[valefan16]

Very worried, that is another game a side has had to do absolutely nothing in to take the points. Masters of our own downfall defensively again and failed to take one of the 35-40 crosses we put in their box.

We won’t get that much of a game in our hands away from home again this season having all that possession and chance to get good balls in.

We are down.

 

[CTFCfan99]

Back to something resembling our best tonight, really good performance.

 

[Kauto Star]

Well that's a hell of a win for us. We never get anything at Exeter. Up to third and finally a zero goal difference, amazing stuff.

I have a bit of a soft spot for Bradford-by-the-Sea FC, good to see you are doing so well. Derek Adams appears to be doing a fantastic job, not surprised we tried to poach him from you last month

 

[Bottega Don]

There is less than 1% chance Port Vale go down.

They're leagues ahead of Grimsby, Barrow and Southend, Vale's team can string 3 passes together for a start
