Home vs Port Vale 22nd October

Thanks

 

Well, my memory may be fuzzy but Devitt and Cooke spent time out of the team and on the bench when we were baying for them to get in the team. Must be a fitness issue.

 

Any one help please can you tell me if there is coverage tonight on radio and what is it on?
many tks in advance

 

I agree. Scratching around tonight. Almost back to the teams of pre-season. Can't see us creating much at all.

 

774 MW

 

0-1

 

I know it’s not down to 1 player but Devine was weak on Saturday and Vaughan can’t hold the ball up, the squad is being tested to the max.

 

25 mins and no shots on or off target and at home. WE. ARE. BACK!

 

Where's that "performance in one word" thread.

I'd be going for "lethargic" so far.

 

This is dreadful. Formation not working, overloading the team with poor midfield performances.

Bowyer must change it

 

Chasing.

Not out of the blocks at all this half. Akpan playing the number 10 role almost. No shape at all. Devine poor. Oteh poor. Ismail looks off the boil.

Need the hairdryer to come out at half time.

 

Got out of jail there.

 

I hope Bowyer doesn't continue with this pap just because we got a pen. Wrong formation as soon as Pritch was ruled out.

 

Sometimes it's easier to tell than others, tonight It feels hard to assess on the commentary but it doesn't sound like we've played well.

 

We're lucky to be level. It's never a pen.

We have no grip on the game in midfield and we're back to Cooke having to do it on his own, because Devine has been awful and Akpan not much better. We need to step it up second half and I can see them scoring again.

 

Poor first half. Long ball just ain't working

 

Don't let there be any doubt, we have been very poor. Second to most balls, midfield toothless, Vaughan isolated, far too slow, centre backs have had far too much of the ball, and nobody has performed well.

 

Oteh the worst player on the pitch, all the danger coming from their right hand side.
