Official Match Thread Port Vale FC v Southend United

[CyrilSneer]

He is being played in the Defensive Mid role and he isnt a defensive midfielder.

 

[AndyT]

We won 1-0 Barrett, that's what my betting slip says, anyway.

I'd have a word with that bookmaker! :winking:

 

[SHRIMPERPETER]

What the feck has happened since Monday?!!! :omg:

 

[Voice of Reason]

Does make you wonder what goes on in training during the week regarding the basic art of defending

 

[RHB]

If we are to lose this, then I would at least like to see us give it a real go in the second half to get one or more back.

Celebrated the win over Burton, I would guess!

One result at this stage of the season doesn't make or break the play offs. We've got nearly 1/3 of the season left!

Other teams have games in hand though.

This is very true but our away form and tight defence has deserted us somewhat and needs addressing

 

[Special Blue]

Be interested to know how many goals we've conceded from set pieces?

 

[Floval Flyer]

0-3, not good at all

or just a ploy to put the watching Holdsworth (in the crowd) off of PB?

or are we just sh*te ?

 

[Ayrshire Blue]

It's one step forward and ****ing two back with Brown. Tactics were absolutely on the money on Monday night. Tonight, a shambles. Widest pitch in the league and we're playing a diamond?! Ludicrous

Also. Do we actually ever work on a set piece in training? That's 5 of the last 6 goals we've let in come from a set piece.

 

[SHRIMPERPETER]

Payne off McQueen on

 

[yogi bear up the cagire]

McQueen replaces Payne for the second-half.

Around 50% according to the SKY commentary on Monday night.

 

[AndyT]

Mate of mine is there. Just chatted at half-time.

The Timlin free-kick was a harsh decision for their third, but O'Neill headed poorly clear for their second goal.

 

[AndyT]

Anyway, I remember playing Port Vale at home in the 70's where we were 3-0 up at half-time and drew 3-3!

 

[yogi bear up the cagire]

Commentators suggesting O'Neil is having a 'mare....................the rest of the side don't appear to be doing that much better. :'(

 

[yogi bear up the cagire]

Right, I'm not asking for too much .........come on Barnett at least score one and give me two points for the prediction league.

Port Vale supporter here in peace, good game thought it would be more balanced and a score of 1-1, good game, hopefully not repeat this score above
