    A realistic view

    But it is no coincidence that Ramage has played 3 times for us. We lost all 3 games and shipped in 7 goals. Hopefully tomorrow Ramage will be out and the two new lads, in!

    Yep! That was so disappointing against Burton after going a goal down and I didn't see much fight against Scunthorpe either, just rabbits caught in the headlights.

    I am hoping it is lower. The lower it is the better chance we have. One good thing I can sense in our favour is that if we did make the play-offs I think the old wise heads such as Henderson, Cole, Ricketts and Hunt could really work in our favour. Think kids can freeze. These players have...

    Belief? At what point do you think we lost ours?

    We had the game won and took our foot off the gas. We were indeed woeful in that second half.

    A lot of people now seem to saying Wigan to go up. They have 55 points. To reach 90 they would need 35 points from 16 games. That equates to 10 wins and 5 draws and 1 defeat. 11 wins and 2 draws and 3 defeats. 12 wins. Still a really big ask. Whoever would need to get to 90 points would...

    Well I know, just saying it could be low this year. Burton have had a couple of blips and now Walsall lost badly today at home!. Only Wigan seem to be consistently picking up points at the moment and remember, we don't have to finish first, second will do just fine, so even if someone like Wigan...

    I know. Just saying and it is based on us now having a drastic turn in our fortunes. IF we can get our season back on track there is a still a chance. If we don't of course we are going to be midtable at best.

    Bloody Hell

    I hope Spurs do it. Play good football, have some good young England prospects in their team too. Would love them to break the stranglehold myself. Plus, if Spurs win it their fans are not going to come on here for weeks on end giving it the big un! If Leicester win it however ...... think...

    My Port Vale Preview

    We were strong at home too though and even after Burton we still had only been beaten the once. Then Scunthorpe came along. Walsall had a really good run going and then suddenly lost 3-0 at home to Rochdale. Today, 3-0 against Millwall. Port Vale won't retain that brilliant home record all...

    A realistic view

    I really enjoyed the season all the way through, even after Walsall, but the powderpuff way we gave up against Burton had me doubting and casting my mind back to previous years. Then the Scunthorpe defeat had me really worried and fearing the very worst in terms of a capitulation and possibly...

    If Ramage is rated higher you need to go back to Game and say your copy is faulty.

    A realistic view

    Teams dropping points though now. This is the pressure cooker time when the finishing line is starting to appear in the distance. Been seasons when 84 points has been enough for an automatic place. We have 48 with 17 matches to play. If 84 was the magic number that is 36 more points. 11 wins...

    Port Vale (Away) Match Thread

    Ridiculous! That's a rugby score. Only be a couple of goals in it tops!

    Very true. I recall a couple of months back saying we are 11 points clear of 7th, we have to be assured of a top six place haven't we? Now look how close teams are. Nice to see Walsall and Burton slipping up here and there. If we can bag 2 or 3 wins on the bounce we could be really close to...

    Our back four has been hit badly lately, Martin, Turner and then having to bring Ramage in. Hopefully these two lads will steady the ship. Be strong at the back and you will always fancy tour chances in games.

    Belief? At what point do you think we lost ours?

    This is what I was asking. Sorry if my post was read wrongly. I thought I had made it clear. I simply said when did we lose that belief we had earlier in the season? Nowt about games to come. Just on the back of three defeats, where the effort was not at an acceptable level. And it's different...

    Belief? At what point do you think we lost ours?

    Yes, very true. Belief only takes you so far. But then you have to say, we too have some very good players for the level we're at, or at least should be! Fleck, Murphy, Cole, Armstrong, JOB, Ricketts, Maddison, Vincelot. When you look at the likes of Burton, you have to ask yourself do they...

    Mean while back in court

    Well the game doesn't kick off until 3. I should just hang around for a few hours if I was you. See if anyone else turns up.

    Belief? At what point do you think we lost ours?

    See my reply to Hobo. I am talking about now, at this moment in time. The last three games we seemed to have lost belief in being able to win football matches. Of course with a win tomorrow that belief might be instilled again. No-one can deny that, that being unbeaten at home record must have...
