Vale…

I went yesterday and that first half those players were pathetic. If you at work and paid on performance levels you’d owe them.
We were virtually pinned down in our half for at least 30minutes and the 1500 that went were fully in their rights to start boo’ing which they did and in numbers.

For me Claire and Jony Smith are way our their depths, both would struggle in the National League. But more worrying, the energy levels. They looked like Monday after a bender in Amsterdam gassed out to the point they couldn’t be arsed.
Now I know Stones need experience but there’s one thing he has is energy and testosterone levels through the roof. Even if you start him bring him off or bring him on he offers energy chasing down so when your short of numbers what do you do
Loan him,
I’m not saying that’s the answer but it doesn’t help when you lessen your options. The 2nd half plus changes we were a different side to only give it away.
That was probably some of the worse defending I’ve seen in a good few years.

I will highlight the last goal which sums it up.
Chislett picks it up and drives at the heart of our defence on a solo run. We have numbers so one defender has to commit to the player. If he fails then defender 2 steps in but someone has to press and committ so what do we do ??

All stand off, all watch, all let him get within shooting range.

I’m sorry but I’ve seen under 8s defend better than that. At worse go to the man tackle or try to and if you miss the tackle take the guy and give a free kick away but to watch watch watch then pick the ball out the net fookin embarrassing.

I’m sorry we’ve along way to go and if by some miracle or devine inspiration by the manager we got promoted Mr Danson will sh!t his keks when Maloney knocks on the door asking to sign 12-15 player because believe you me we’d be like lambs to the slaughter in the championship with that lot yesterday.

Look I don’t losing to a good side and you try but when you down tools from minute one and you need a manager to bollok you to motivate yourself their not good enough to play for us.

Looks to me like Humphrys has already penciled in new pastures because the way he waltzed round he looked like he didn’t give a flying fcuk or he thinks he’s took good for us either way shape up or fcuk off

One last thing on Port Vale

Who the fcuk do they they think they are using airport style trays to empty your pockets and search !!.
I refused to do it and refused to be treated like a fcukin thug.
Stewards said if I don’t I can’t go in. I said pat me down yes but empty my pockets in a tray then search you can fcuk right off.

I’ve veen 100s of grounds in the UK and Europe in my time and never once have I ever seen anything like that especially at a sh!tty p!ss arse club like Port Vale.

After 2 mins chatting the decided to pat me down and let me in. One police officer said have you been drinking looking for an excuse (I’d had 2 pints) I said are you going to use that ??.
That for me with the trays was pathetic and actually looked like a p!ss take.

I heard one steward say to his m8

“What the fuck we gonna do Tuesday ?”

They’ve Middlesbrough and Bro sold out so I take it we were test crash dummies with this bellend idea
Just a civil liberties thing for me they’ve no fcukin legal right do that, pat down search yes, trays n sh!t no
