Port vale

Quoted from FishOutOfWater

I think you're forgetting something Heisenberg....

We were given assurances by JF that we'd have 20 more points in the bag by the end of the season.... we've already got one so with another seven games to go, six wins and a draw will do the trick. Simples

What a shambolic situation we find ourselves in!  The club were very much hanging all their hopes on that gap (was it 14 points?) being enough of a buffer, but a good deal of people on here could see this scenario coming and said so months ago.

You're dead right Heisenberg

I checked the other night as to the first time relegation crossed my mind...

I had sent a tweet to RH about it. 6th January after the Morecambe game

Yet Fenty smugly allowed Slade another month or more after that, while all the time we were up the creek without a paddle, heading for a fall in to oblivion

Total mismanagement and if/when we go down, nobody should ever forget or forgive why it's happened

Slade should have gone after Morecambe.

Quoted from Yoda

Slade should have gone after Morecambe.

Can't disagree Yoda

It was clear that following the previous month's performances and results that he didn't have a clue

Building something? What a joke!!

I was saying we would get relegated around Sept when we went half a dozen games finishing with 10 men, and a month later saying it was just like Port Fail last season only scoring once every few games (they were still top half of League 1 at Christmas but with the lowest shots ratio in the league) and went down. and though not getting hammered both goals wise and playwise, our inability to score regularly would be our downfall. Of course lots of red crosses for such thoughts in those days.

I was wondering when the'I told you so' crowd would appear. September FFS? Really?

Fraid so Swin, you could see then there was no real pace or guile in the team and the lack of good football and regular positive results backed it up.
I really hope Jolly can keep us up; so does the wife whos a Vale fan but fed up of my permanent Saturday grumpiness.

Did you post it here? Brave man if you did lots of red Xs I'll wager

OK I'll chip in with my prediction / fear, Michael Jolley will prove to be as poor an appointment as many of his predecessors

You may be right Swin, we will know about a 12 games into next season if he is a real duffer, but dont feel he can be clearly judged on the last few games. Yes I posted a few complaining about Slades awful signings tactics etc. but always got the give it time etc replies and red Xs. Water off a ducks back duck as they say round here.

Thats nothing Dad as you well know I was saying it from the moment Slade was appointed, I didn't need till September. Now where are all those who were calling me a mad fool, surely I'm owed a fair few appologies
