Port Vale v Charlton - Post Match Views

Monsieur Slade - with this taking off our 3 best players when we are winning the game - you are really spoiling us.
What an utterly clueless twat he is.

Bad substitutions one minute before the goal.
Novak and Chicksen - for Holmes and Magennis !!

And as for Lennon - he is always in the match report somewhere, becoming a liability.

Keen to hear from those who were there.

From most of the games I have been to it's fairly obvious that we won't be going up. We are not going up with this Slade in charge. Simples.

L'agent Slade

Pinocchio & Ducktape only appoint useless managers to deflect a bit of criticism away from themselves.

I feel sorry for the poor 300 that went to watch us fail again..

with AFKA's warning re language I am not capable of constructing a sentence about Charlton without expletives so will refrain


0.001% Top two ......... 24.999% 3rd-6th ......... 54% 7th-12th ......... 20.75% 13th-20th ........ 0.25% relegation

I said this before Slade was appointed. He's a nice guy but you know what happens to them....
We won't finish bottom IMO.
We'll forever be mid table under Rus. He's beige.
And also a complete bottle job who is not in charge of a two bob club any more.
So frustrating that he threw it away. Vale breathed a collective sigh of relief when Holmes and Mag trotted off. What a terrible terrible substitution.

Best away atmosphere in a while too, Slade got a fair bit of stick at the end, "Russell Slade he ain't got a clue" etc etc.

Embarrassing.
I bet Roland and KM are loving that our requested English manager is a total fuck up.
Richest owner in the club's history and we are a total shitshow.
Heading towards league two, an empty Valley, innocent fans getting beaten up for nothing, by security a former sandwich maker.
Wankers, I can't think of a better word.
Roland doesn't care, as if he watches every game- bollocks.
You are a failure.

Roland, KM, No bollocks, Slade, Sue Parkes, the Morris dancing bellend, RM, security. Just fuck off.

At the game : -

How on earth did we only get a point from this game!

Only one team in it should have been out of sight before a dubious penalty gave Vale an undeserved point.

Good possession, good chances spurned but still comfortable until a double sub which cost us two points.

Our superiority in the first half was rewarded by a goal from Ulverstad after great work and cross by Holmes which saw us in front at the break 7's across the board score wise for the whole team.

Second half chances again created but somehow we failed to convert and one goal is never enough. With our best three players withdrawn from the action Vale were awarded a penalty for what seemed an innocuous challenge late in the game - Penalty - Rudd got a hand to it but it went into the roof if the net 1-1 to immediate chants ' Russell Slade you ain't got a clue'. The natives were very restless and he was getting plenty of stick at the final whistle.

Very good performances from Bauer, Lennon (edit: why spoil it by conceding a pen aaarrrgh!) Lookman and Holmes MOM. Ok performances from the rest. Not over impressed with Hanlan when he came on plenty of enthusiastic effort but raw and not yet ready IMO. We was robbed is an understatement.

Slade's a David Brent like character. If I were at the BBC, I'd want to send the cameras down to watch this whole thing unwind. Cringe-inducing hilarity mixed with heart-renching sadness.

Just got home from first game of the season.

Felt we were a bit nervy for 20 minutes then took control of the game. We seemed to break up almost everything they tried with ease and went on to achieve attempt after attempt until half time. I assumed wrongly that Vale would come out in front of their fans and give it a go, but their charge never really happened. They soaked up attack after attack. I'd love to know how many attempts we had because it seemed to be well into double figures. They were a shambles and were there for the battering. Can see how Utd put 4 past them days ago and 4-0 tonight wouldn't have flattered us. Walking out I overheard many Vale saying that they were lucky. On tonight's showing they won the frigging lottery. Not been so pissed off walking away from a ground for along time. Sad thing is I was filled with hope and few of the 253 there would have thought we'd have let them back in, such was our commanding performance. Holmes was everywhere tonight and can't understand why the change came so close to the end. He was roasting them on a spit, such was his confidence and their inability to cope with his speed, skill and endurance. The penalty was almost out of nothing and didn't really seem a pressure situation. The ref seemed to take an age to make the decision and going down high to the centre it looked nearly saved. Slade got some stick at the end "You aint got a clue" was the very loud chants at full time. This is his team, with his game plan and it's not working. Results don't lie.

I assumed after the weekend protests that this would be rolled out again, but no. Not one "Roland Out" during the entire evening, but Katrien got a few mentions and an older woman in front of us was clearly upset by this and turned to face the masses and made it very clear that she did not feel attention of this sort against our CEO was acceptable, telling them to shut up. Confused.

Lots of entertainment. Positives plenty. Disappointment definitely, but on this performance it's only because we were so much better than the opposition.
