No pressure Michael but we need at least a draw against a side just below us in the relegation scrap.

What if we get a crushing home defeat ?

Cross that bridge if we get to it.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

What if we don't? What if we play like Brazil?

Pretty sure Neymar would be a better choice than our strikers at the minute - even on crutches with a broken foot.

With a different mind set  and a full week of up to date preparation given by Mr Jolley.

We will win and win well  , I am going for a 2-0 by HT.

Final score   3-1

Whilst in no way aiming to dilute the sense of optimism with the new manager's  appointment i'd just caution that we shouldn't set our expectations too high for saturday.
I'm longing for major changes in the line up but that's unlikely to happen soon. Jolley may have watched two games but we've watched them all so we know the weakest links but he doesn't yet. Up front we may see signs of his thinking but in defence and, to a large extent, in midfield it's pretty unlikely that he'll change the line up.
I'm sure he will change things but we've got to give him another two or maybe three games to see some signs of his influence. That's really difficult as we HAVE to get a win and soon of course.
Anove all, let's hope that he turns out to be a LUCKY manager

Very happy to work with Wilko, after all he has the knowledge of the existing group     that was the flavour of Jolley's response in his Matt Dean interview.... didnt Wilko put Dixon as a wing back when he got free reign of the team

I'm also looking forward to the players crying and holding up Mallik Wilks' shirt before the pre-match handshaking.

Alan Brazil?

To be honest I'm resigned that it will be what it will be. All I ask is that they give it a go for the next 10 games sides that play with any tempo at this level usually do well.

Wilko has watched 'em all and he was persisting with effing Berrett in midfield. Give me strength

What do you think his team will be?

Personally I would love to see Vernam in midfield picking the ball up from deep and running at the opposition and creating

As well as Jolley watching our games since Slade has gone he also has access to the videos of other games as well. He will also have seen the players in training so will have some ( though limited ) indication of their abilities and attitude.

He's not a miracle worker. We all accept that survival will be tough with this squad, keeping us up will be an achievement.

That said Port Vale are no great shakes either, and even under Wilkinson the team have played better in patches.

So a win is not impossible. But we will need the breaks. If we get the rub of the green, we could win on Saturday and that would change the entire complexion of the situation.

We all know that there are three crucial games which will largely determine our fate this year.

A win on Saturday will be huge. I think we can do it.
