Fair comments below from the PV Forum

Disappointed that we fell into the trap of tit for tat niggly stuff and falling out with their players, who clearly set out to get under our skin.  Just play the game.  We were more than good enough to beat these today but the individual errors at both ends of the pitch cost us.


I agree GR, but as a spectacle on TV, watching Smith vs Smith was a heck of a bit of entertainment 🤣🤣🤣
I acknowledge he is a complete knob, but we have had some blimming good ding dongs with Harry Smith over the last couple of seasons - not sure id want him playing for us, but theres something "pantomime villain" about him that I quite like

Nice to see Ian Holloway kept to the agreement about Ripley - I know he gets a lot of stick, but iv always been quite fond of IH - he is a character fer sure, and lord knows in this modern day, they are in short supply

I cant remember watching a match as enjoyable as yesterday for a long long time - thought it was a magnificent advert for division 4 - sorry, league 2  😜 - can imagine any floating premier league fan watching on the off chance would have thought "what the fook is going on here"😍😍😍

EDIT - soz GR, iv tagged you in on this post, but re-reading, mines more of an observational post rather than a reply to your post which I liked 👍have a great Sunday 💜💜💜 (purple hearts for the purple prince 😍😍)

I’ve seen enough of Wright and Delaney now to think there’s a good enough CB partnership there for next season if they have a strong goalkeeper behind them, hopefully the trio of them and Ripley can build something between now and May to take into next season.

I’m undecided on the full backs. Sobowale floats between good and not good enough a bit too much in my opinion, I think with a properly creative right winger ahead of him or him in the right side of a back 3, I’d lean more towards wanting to keep him around. Too much change on the left hand side to nail one down, Kirkman shown promise, Cox a bit here and there but consistently dangerous crosses.

Easy to be a manager from the stands though  Cheesy

Any chance Kirkman and McGregor are both good enough to fill the full back/wing back roles as first choice in a successful side next season?

Both products of our youth system so might be biased but I think they could be.

Did you mean to say Chard rather than Cox?

My bold in the quote. What the actual fuck? Talk about wearing Pork Vile Goggles- the PV duo of Smith and Hall were all over St Harry of Smith in a failed bid to wind him up into a sending off.

I thought Port Vale were a typically good lower league team.
They were dirty, niggly & physical but could play a bit when they needed too.
It’s pretty much what we have become under Holloway and led to a pretty decent game.

Thought we were a bit fortunate to be level at HT, but that for most of the second half we were the better team.

Ref appeared a bit clueless, had no idea what to do about the tussles between Smith & their defence, so appeared to give them based on who’s turn it was (they got one then we got one) rather than actually work out who was at fault, but he did give us the penalty (which was pretty stonewall).

I thought the second comment was fair giving Holloway a little praise and saying that it was an entertaining game and it wasn’t too long ago Smith was getting stick from home fans.
