TLOD vs Port Vale (Vertu trophy)

[Dutch Uncle]

Yes, certainly scrappy right now

As I speak brilliant block from McGrath to deny a good chance for Vale

[RoversInSpain]

McGrath with the best defensive tackle since Matt Mills

[Pancho Regan]

This has got a port vale 1-0 or win on pens written all over it and it will be undeserved

Keep the faith, we’ll win this

[tommy toes]

Substitutions haven’t worked.

Thundering slide tackle, that. He’s done a few since getting into the team but that’s the best of them.

Keep the faith, we’ll win this

Here's hoping!

[Pancho Regan]

4 mins added time

[Barmby Rover]

There we go, we cannot make the most of being dominant, and we pay the price.

[ScillyRover]

0-1

[dknward2]

Port vale score FFS game over with 2 mins to play

[PDX_Rover]

It’s a shit business….

[Thorney]

Just a lump ball up 

[Fal]

Hate to say I told you so!

[Peebles Rover]

Predictable

[bpoolrover]

Far to easy again

[NickDRFC]

I would say it’s a sucker punch but despite seeing a lot of the ball we’ve barely threatened in the 2nd half.

File it away and roll on Saturday, league is still the priority.

[Pancho Regan]

Stupid competition anyway

[Metalmicky]

Undeserved, but at least it gives Vale another game (or more) to play

[Alan Southstand]

Squad of largely average players. Not good enough, Grant!

[DonnyBazR0ver]

Hate to say I told you so!

If you hate saying it, why say it?

[Pancho Regan]

Third in the League in December - absolutely rubbish Grant!!

The squad has more depth this season (possibly) but our first choice 11 is undoubtedly not as good as what we finished with at the end of last season.

Sbarra - not as effective as biggins
Gibson - not as effective as Adelakun
Kelly - nowhere near as good as Craig
TSL - not as good as TLT

Could only argue sharp is an improvement on what we had.
We are doing well to be where we are, in my opinion.

[steve@dcfd]

Kelly can go back to West Ham in January
Sbarra loan out
Westbrooke can be moved on
Gibson needs a good talking to by GM he’s disappointing every time he plays
The midfield is not good enough to carry on competing at the level we are we need better

Ha ha
You never fail to disappoint Alan with your nonsensical negativity

But other than that, how are you enjoying things Steve?

[Lesonthewest]

Squad of largely average players. Not good enough, Grant!

Becoming increasingly obvious that there are some players that just won't help to take us where we want to be. January is going to be a big month.

Why loan sbarra out? Fringe player (everyteam needs them) hes 25, not exactly a young 18yr old that needs experiance.

Kelly overall been decent this season.

[PDX_Rover]

Jesus… season of goodwill? Turkey? It’s just a fat bas**rd chicken…

I see you’ve picked out Alan, but chosen not to reply to my point about the quality of the first 11. Is that because you can’t argue with it?

[Fal]

Ah the meltdown commences by the same bunch!

Get a grip!
