So happy I rushed home from golf without a drink, so I could watch the whole match. Enthralling stuff too. Some of these players can count themselves damned unlucky not to be travelling to Qatar.

Stockley's timing on his jumps has been all over the place today, and he concedes a free kick for jumping in to his man with the latest one.

I can’t believe these lot are professional football players and honestly believe I could pass the ball better than this when I played for my school.

Started well here

Only fair I take the blame for this performance - Should know better

Vale down our right again, ball played inside but Dobbo and Fraser manage to win possession and come forward with CBT.

aliwibble

We're passing from side to side by the halfway line but not making much progress apart from a brief pass forward to JRS and back.

Utter dross
clueless 

Leuth

Stockley is a void, a gap, a nothing. He's fucking the whole thing up for us 

aliwibble

Fraser tries a ball forward to CBT, but not quite right and collected by their keeper.

BigDiddy

20 passes and we then pass to their keeper - bad as it gets.

Only Dobbo looks decent for us today 

aliwibble

Another overhit pass from Dobbo, this time towards Clare and it's out for their throw by the dugouts.

You have to question what the fuck we do in training. 
Utter dross

That was absolute dog shit. From an overload and space  on the left with runners in the box to passing it side to side 6 times and losing it. Have to play with more tempo and directness when the spaces open up. 

Redmidland

Dobson not good today, passing is awful!

We are becoming far too predictable for any oppo we play, if Vale realised they could roll us over very easily on the performance so far from us, very tired and laboured in ever way

aliwibble

Clare coming down the right, challenged, but we get the throw.

golfaddick

Why, when you cant be offside from a throw, does the ball go backwards. 

aliwibble

Clare passes through to JRS, pulled back? And we get a free kick about 15/20  yards out from the area. Kirk to take.

eastterrace6168

VFR ringing from our lads 'n' Lasses, trying to get some spirit into the team

We play from the back to the half way line.

aliwibble

Free kick headed on, CBT tries to play back in but it's cleared. Vale fans are annoyed about something we can't see.

There won’t be any spirits at the grounds in Qatar.

golfaddick

Finally we have a shot. 

ForeverAddickted

Why the hell didnt CBT just square the pass to Kirk!!

Callumcafc

These are really not that good if we can string a period of pressure together.

Reckon you’ll need a few beers and a few shots to tolerate this 

aliwibble

Clare down the line to JRS, back to Sess who's on the RHS for some reason, we end up going over to CBT on the other side, his run into the area is blocked, the ball bobbles about a bit, and ends up deflected out for a corner.

golfaddick

Do we practice corners. ?

Jayajosh

Stockless is awful again
