Much as I hate to say it; you can't keep selling off the family silver and expect to serve high tea to the rich folks.

That said it's August and very early days. Again we have a raw and very young team built around a couple of old salts, we have to gel and we have to work; above all we have to want it. The biggest hurt is the goal difference so early on in the season.

Let's hope Coley and Jimmy can salvage this situation by working these boys into men of Leather, who will case down the sticks without fear and put them away.

Vale 4 Stanley 1

full time Port Vale 4 - Accrington Stanley 1

Re: Port Vale Thread
 

Dont think they have beaten us by that sort of margin since the season we returned to the League.

Bobby Grant got both Scunny's goals in their 2-2 at Charlton. Jimmy Ryan came on after 68 mins.

Re: Port Vale Thread
 

Not to worry,only 3pts off a play off position.:eek:

Re: Port Vale Thread
 

another shambles like this and I'm applying to join the saturday pm knitting circle down at the W I. They will accept blokes under equal ops won't they ?

Re: Port Vale Thread
 

I believe it was a massive error to think we could go away to Vale Park and play that shape with the players we had available. Buck stops with Coley I'm afraid. Bad tactical decisions cost us. We must learn and move on.

Re: Port Vale Thread
 

Well I can safely say the 1st 45 minutes where without a doubt 1 of the poorest Stanley performances ive ever seen.

No passion, No pace, No will to win, backing out of tackles........... Just simply not good enough. I could understand if we got played off the park by a superb side,,,,, but Vale had nothing special, my opinion they where a better side at the beginning of last season, we where just terrrible. Its very rare that I boo my team off but make no mistake they deserved after that shambles in the 1st half.

The entire team (with the exception of Murdoch who could do nothing about all 4), where absolute garbage.

I thought we had turned the corner after the mid-week win but make no mistake Coley & Jimmy have ALOT of work to do to turn it round again.

I just cant understand why would you change a winning team?????

If Guthrie was injured then ok, but to put Mcintyre straight back in after his ban obviously didnt work, maybe Taylor wasnt fit either, god knows.

7 days to put it right again, as that really was NOT worth my £50 today !!!

you have hit the nail on the head shaker.Unbelievable to think you can go 4-4-2 away from home, leave two upfront,and two out hugging the touchline.
They played accis 4-2-3-1 formation,and did to us what we did to teams last year.
There front man Pope was strong and gave our cbs a rough ride,our centre mids tried to hold there shape,but were occupied by there holding mids,and there three mids floated around the gapping holes for fun,
Indeed,we made Rigg (nice boots) look like Messi,although to be fair,he looks made for that role.
The fullbacks were hesitant about keeping there shape,and everytime they went in field with the runners,the balls just got played into the vacated area.
It was like watching Acci last year,with jimmy,shaun and craney interchanging and moving the opposion around.
Only when we removed the widemen and a forward did we get a foothold in the game,but it was far too late,by playing a system were we gave them the width and stopped them running the game
