Port Vale v Swindon matchday thread

Jamie Russell has a lot to answer for. Assembled two very subpar squads now

I’ve got a season ticket but not going next week - can’t sit through another bore fest like the Carlisle match. There was a queue outside the junior reds room 10 minutes before half time. That’s how bad it was.

Absolutely shocking yet again.  Baffling squad selection resulting in shock defeat.  Freckles and bycroft stand out as the two who are way below the level.  Unless Bycroft develops a sense of adventure and owns his six yard box from set pieces he has to get dropped.  Kennedys looking way out of his depth.  Barely a crumb of a hope with him in charge.  I actually don’t think the squad is terrible he just doesn’t seem to have a clue.

And I seriously think sacking Kennedy unfortunately isn't the answer. The next appointment won't work, the appointment after that won't work.

Kennedy's record in charge of Macclesfield was
P12  W1  D3  L8
On course to beat that

I don’t think the squad is the number one problem. We should be in a higher league position with this squad.

It’s not but I think we’re more likely to go down if we don’t. We need a massive sticking plaster for this season.

Obviously the boys of summer were in full swing last season, but we're now ten points behind ourselves last season, and that ended up in our worst ever finish.

Ultimately we should have expected Kennedy to be an utterly shite appointment, anyone agreeing to work for this lot was always going to be a clueless oaf.

Don’t completely disagree but there is absolutely no creativity here. A massive, massive oversight by the recruitment team. Kennedy is not getting the best out of them but he’s hardly been given much to work with

What baffles me is why have we loaned Barden to sit on the bench.

[Batch]

This squad is only better than it's showing when it proves it.

We took Delaney and Hall knowing about injury records.

Will Wright had been great.

Smith. Meh. You get what you get.

Clarke massive disappointment.

Other than that it's hopefuls and unknowns isn't it?

[Bob1978]

Maybe give the job to bignot and see how it goes. He’s in the building and knows the players.

[Frigby Daser]

We are talking about a group of men who have taken months - literally months - to replace a sign at the most visible part of the ground for those in the town.

It’s not about a sign. A sign is a sign, but it epitomises everything about this regime. Uncaring, unprofessional, skint, blind to how it looks, utterly incompetent. If that sign was broken at another club, it would be fixed within a week.
