The other side of the good recent form is that teams that were underestimating us are now more likely to… estimate us. I’m sure some of the teams we’ve outfought recently thought they were rolling up to face the 1-goal-and-1-point-in-11-misfits of October, whereas from here on in we’re going to get...

Evidently there was a scout from Liverpool at the game last night.

Couldn't agree more with that last statement: "The budget has got to be used in good areas, and not always on the playing squad, but improving the infrastructure that helps us to continue to improve as a football club." Let's hope the board are listening. Also, the BBC making the popular ...

I don't think there's much in the Scottish prem that could bother most teams in league one (England)

The fact that the PSR ceiling is a £105m loss over three seasons tells you everything you need to know about the mad financial world football clubs operate in. I'm a huge advocate for sustainable stewardship of football clubs, but seeing club after club spend wild sums of money while largely carryi...

Rare factual error from Mark Halliwell and repeated by Owen. He said we had never won four games in a row in League One. We have: JP Tweeted the other day we won four on the bounce in 2007/2008. Vale (h), Bournemouth (h), Hartlepool (a), Carlisle (h). didn't he also say we had never lost to portsmo...

Vale can feel a bit hard done by with this game not being played behind closed doors, a contrived pitch invasion that caused the game to be abandoned, the replay should be behind closed doors not a Tuesday night with a reduced away support as a result.

cheats prosper (again).

Just cheat, there really is no penalty for it. second in the league, players you've sold loaned straight back to you, absolutely stinks!!!

Their joint owners are worth $1.5bn and $1.2bn. I suspect that might be something to do with it. Isn't one of our owners a billionaire? Wonder if the Oxford owners are life long Oxford supporters. If not are they building this stadium out of the goodness of their heart? Just annoying seeing other c...

Surely there is no chance Port Vale are paying anyone £7.5k a week that's Championship wages and they are not a club flush with cash and I would think have one of the lower budgets in this league. Anyway, Saturday for me is a massive game and likely pivotal to our season as a whole. Win and you'd s...

Jimmy Smith, Jimmy Wring, Martin Boyle (gave his all? doubtful :lol: ), all of those guys that played mid 90's before we got into gear from 97 onwards.

From comments of fans of team who Darren Moore managed, they will be defensive and probably unadventurous against us. He hasn't got the talent he had at Sheff Wed at this level. He has inherited a new team and players new to him with no win in 6 games. Conceding at time 3 goals in a game, My bet is...

I am a Blackpool fan who used to live in Cheltenham and loves the town. When I lived in Cheltenham (1998-2002) I went to lots of games at Whaddon Road in the era of Boka and Banksy referred to in the spirit of Cheltenham EFL 11 thread above. When I was one of many boycotting Blackpool home games I ...

Ended up with the Blackpool stream and their co-commentator was unbelievably bitter. Ex-player (not sure who) but saying he used to hate playing against teams like us who just wanted to lump it forward and go route one all the time. That seems to be the general vibe with teams like blackpool, shat ...

Some of the corners he was putting in yesterday were unbelievable, pin point right under crossbar

he was doing it every time as well.

He's very much off the radar (imo) but what a player he has become under DC.

three wins in 23 matches at Huddersfield, I'm not really convinced by him tbh.

JP's been pipped to the post with this one, good to see other independent 'contemporary' media getting ahead of the establishment.

had a quick look on the fgr forum and last Saturday DV was strutting around the hospitality box in a pair of joggers with 'f#!$ you' written on the back (evidently).

So is this the end of the 'free agent' striker (player)? Was this just a punt to see if it would happen or do we have other options to go for? Or now we have a two in two striker is it still needed?

Great insight, DC is very savvy when it comes to the (modern) connections with the fans, getting onboard with an independent fans podcast is fantastic access to a manager. He's still not happy with the Seasons is he. One would think that on occasions Whaddon Road could be used for training , partic...

She has every right to say what she has said. Port Vale was a sinking club and will not find good owners so easily again.

I have wondered about this in the past. Would our fans be happy if we spent the next 30 years bobbing along in midtable League One, never likely to reach the play-offs but never really in relegation trouble either? We'd be a very established League One club. How boring. I have thought about how inc...

To me last Saturday was more mental, heads dropped after that calamity of their first goal and it was back to the dark days of WE. DC needs to snuff that mentality out straight away and not let it creep back in. The new striker we got in scored in less than 15 minutes and the lad from Bath looks exc...
