Quick Port Vale report

[Grappler]

Boxing requires training, discipline and dedication. I'd go with none of them.

Agreed Robbie.

Wonder how may would go out into a car park behind a pub, ALONE, and face anyone one-on-one.

I'll be interested to see what Bergen Blade says on the defending – looks a right mess on the Sky highlights. First goal, Edgar ends up pulled out wide right, Freeman rather than cover Edgar in the middle occupies a nothing area between him and the box. Second goal, Collins is pulled out of position from the throw-in, isn't strong or quick enough to keep up with their striker and Howard looks like he might have a chance of getting a strong hand on the shot but doesn't (he may have been poorly sighted). Both look like typical bits of basic defending were lacking.

I always look forward to Bergen Blade's posts.

I think focusing in the defence at the goals would only capture a very small proportion if what was wrong yesterday. Apart from the first 15 minutes, where I thought we pressed really well (though WHF Jr Sr disagrees) and one or two short spells in the second half, we were basically outplayed as a team.

That was the way I saw it at least.

Bury and Colchester I thought could have gone either way.

Yesterday, especially after their second and the save from Billy which involved a huge stroke of luck, or even two I thought we were never really in it.

I wasn't there so cant fully say more RS but It is a bad loss didnt think it was as bad from what I heard we couldnt handle Ikpeazu ran us ragged 1st half but positive were 7th yes wouldve love to habe been 4th with a win but also dones back he is 1 of our most influential players

We can't handle any sort of pace.
