Let’s face it Cox’s team never did get used to playing together.
Onwards and hopefully upwards.

Used to borrow my old mans Minx when I first passed my test. Turning circle was nearly as wide as Kenyon’s.

We’ve needed a player to hold the ball up front in all 28 games and never looked like having one.
Those are the guys who create for others, make defenders worried and set up the chances.
The worry is that a number of players in our squad have never seen this phenomenon before. They need to be taught what it entails and to start getting used to this – and bloomin’ quickly!It would be good to see opposition centre backs not playing in slippers and with a cigar on for a change.

Why did we have to have 4 years of rapid decline before employing a manager that knows what he is doing and letting him get on with it?
Too little, too late?
We will see.

With Grant and Feeney we edged the midfield against a decent side last Saturday for the first half at least.
Shame we had nothing apart from Burns up front to benefit from that.
Second half a combination of Vale stepping up the pace and our new boys dropping off it and it was a different story.
No doubt all of these guys will need time and games to show their best. Hopefully we can scrap 2 or 3 results until that happens.

Calm yourself. Not a very good one I accept but a joke nonetheless.
Mind you Collins is having a blinder down in Spalding according to the Twitter feed.

By the way I hope someone has got the O’Hara keepers number on speed dial.
An injury to our (so far) player of the season would be a disaster.

The Chairman’s latest statement is probably the most frank, humble and honest one he has ever made.
Personally I am putting any anti ownership emotion on hold until the seasons outcome is determined. Time to wholeheartedly get behind the club and the team whilst we try and work the miracle.

Feeney gave a decent impression of a midfielder on Saturday.

So that’s Loft, Scrimshaw and Hippo gone. Get rid of Beeston and send Burns back and that should reduce any chance of scoring a goal from slim to none.

They got relegated but the fans kept going. We didn’t get relegated but a lot of fans stopped going.
Amazing what a change of ownership can do.

Earlier in the season this would have raised a cheer in our house. Since Hill arrived he has been arguably our best outfield player.
Difficult to believe when the likes of Green and Turan are still here. Of course its very unlikely anyone in the top 6 tiers would take them so perhaps we have to get rid of 1 or 2 that we would rather keep to make some space.

If the money was right I bet he could put up with a 3 month spell in the frozen north.
Suspect he will get some decent offers nearer to home though given his goalscoring record.

To be fair it was an excellent corner and a fair number of Vale fans admitted their was more than a hint of handball involved in the finish. We were at the opposite end so couldn’t see if that was the case.
It was one of only 2 bits of real quality from Vale in the game, the other being a good corner routine in the first half that ended in them hitting the post. Other than that it was probably Rory’s quietest game for a while.
Our weakness now (no surprises) was a lot of decent play but with the lack of goal threat. Burns ran himself ragged as usual. Green was a passenger when he came on and Sinclair had some nice touches but never really caused them a problem.
Need 2 forwards and a centre back by Monday evening to stand any chance of making a fight of it.
I would give Grant the captains armband now. Was great to see him and Feaney display a bit of nous. Something our team has been without since Bish and Murphy left.

No great surprise with Kenyon. He was carrying a lot of timber when he got here and turned slower than a supertanker. No surpise he has been unable to get to Hill’s required fitness levels. Davis is a trickier one. Making him captain before seeing him play for the club did not help him. He never looked much of a captain and never really played well enough to warrant getting picked ahead of Manny and Taft (which speaks volumes).
Whoever picked them Swann, Cygnet or Cox dropped a rather large pair.
