Port Vale, not down yet, good or bad ?

[Eggman]

We really should be beating teams like Port Vale.

Right.

 

[Eagle Slayer]

Yeah, that Robbie Williams is a right nasty piece of work

and Phil "The Power" Taylor

Sounds almost like he wants us to send them down. Hopefully we can do them a favour.

What a nobber

"If it is to happen, I don't want it to happen at home because of the wonderful support the fans have given us," Sinnott told BBC Radio Stoke.
"It's been a long, hard season for them and they don't deserve to see that."

So you'd rather get relegated away from home, so that all the fans who give you support home AND away get the chance to see you relegated.

With what looks like a tough run in, i think if we dont get maximum points from Port Vale its game over for this season. There are too many teams in and around play off showing more consistency than us

 

[surrey jim]

we dont just need to get three points we need to get our goal difrence up, in going for a 5-0 Win, hopefully will give strikers a bit more confidence

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Anything less than 5-0, to be honest, then Wilkins, Knight and Murray need to be shown the door.

They have said that they don't want to get relegated at home, so maybe they'll throw the towel in.

 

[Fourteenth Eye]

Im very nervous about saturday. It would be just like us to lose so im crossing fingers, touching wood, rubbing my rabbit foot and not walking under any ladders

 

[hans kraay fan club]

I.. just like fingers, touching, rubbing myself with my rabbit

Too much information.

 

[Fourteenth Eye]

Too much information.

Going by the article below, it could be easier for us


Port Vale manager Lee Sinnott does not want to see his team relegated at Vale Park because of the home fans' loyalty.

Vale, League One's bottom club, beat Leyton Orient 2-1 on Saturday - their first back-to-back win of the season.

But they will be relegated if they lose at Brighton this Saturday and rivals Crewe avoid defeat against Southend.

"If it is to happen, I don't want it to happen at home because of the wonderful support the fans have given us," Sinnott told BBC Radio Stoke.

"It's been a long, hard season for them and they don't deserve to see that."

 

[unnameable]

If we play anything like we did in the first half against Swindon (except the first fifteen minutes) then we will be out of sight by half-time.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

I'm sure Port Vale once won promotion against us at the Goldstone. If memory serves me correctly, they were given the whole East Terrace.

Quite glad they're still not mathematically down, as they'd be bound to spank us otherwise, you just know it.

 

[ali jenkins]

Ive always thaught that its harder to play teams fighting for survival than it is to play teams pushing for promotion, I can see us loosing tis one by a goal!!

Who?

We've lost two of the last nine games, won four and had two draws away from home without conceding a goal in the last two games - how consistent do you want?

Exactly.
We are the form team atthe minute. The only concern is that forest and leeds games are easy to get up for and I dont know if home to league 2 bound pv is the same.

This week really is were dw can earn his money, guarding against subconscious conplacency.

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

Of course they could become complacent (an Albion player who posts on here pretty much said "we've done the hard work" on another thread).. so it's easy to take the eye off the ball.

Having seen this team play I don't think there is a chance they will take their foot off the gas. Players like Fozzie, Westlake, Thomson, Elphick and most of the others seem pretty driven to me.
