Match Thread: Port Vale v Forest Green Rovers

[Valiiant]

 

We're getting beat here by basic League Two type football. Can't have three midgets at the back.

Pretty awful so far dreadful marking and a silly foul to give away. Keep saying it but Hall should be in this 11

It’s hard to imagine conceding those two goals if he had been.

Whilst I agree, it’s not why we’re two down. Inability to defend set-pieces, pure and simple.

 

Very true. Still don't like that on paper and I don't like it on the pitch though.

[Guppys left peg]

The inability of some of our players to control the ball today is very troubling. It’s just the basics today where we’ve been way short of the mark.

Need to change something up. Can't see us scoring today

Forest Green have the worst defence in the league in terms of goals conceded.

29 conceded in 14 games.

[Potsman]

Conlon certainly not the player he was and why are we again playing McCarron. Play a winger and we are rubbish we couldn't win with one last year and he wasn't an under 23 reserve player. Wozza needs to play and Pett. Looking poor today.

So kicking players isn't a red card?

Have a day off mate.

He didnt kick him

I’ll call it now, this game is gone. These are rolling round every time somebody passes wind and will make it a stop-start second half. Politic has been absolutely anonymous, McCarron arguably the brightest spark. Very poor 1st half from us…. “after the Lord’s Mayors show” as someone used to say.

Which means we are going to win 4-2

[Valiiant]

 

Jones over to left-back. McCarron off for Hall to add some height. Pett in for Massey who has been anonymous and go 4-3-3.

Poor 1st half midfield non existence need to mix it up 2nd half.

And like Phil Sproson just said, Vale would do exactly the same and have done in their position

I'm a Vale fan but I think you need to go back to bed mate or put your glasses back on.

We'll probably come back in the second half and take a point. Then we'll all be asking what that first half was all about. But if you can't do the basics right on the day then you're in trouble regardless of how ordinary the opposition are. They are two up because they have much bigger blokes in their starting 11.
