Venus' Sky Blue Army will win 2-1

 

[I_Saw_Shaw_Score]

2-1 win

Sordell & Reid

[oucho]

You know what'll happen now - 2-1 win!!!

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

We'll win, and bizarrely people won't be saying it's thanks to SISU.

However, if we do lose, it will be SISU's fault.

 

[Broken Hearted Sky Blue]

I'm sticking to my 2-1 prediction as up to now

 

[Nick]

A few 2-1's, might have to put a bet on!

You're right but it will be 1 in spite of 2 because of. All perfectly legitimate in my view

 

[Broken Hearted Sky Blue]

I wouldn't if I were you I was one of them

 

[Nick]

I wouldn't if I were you I was one of them

I'll share the winnings!

 

[Otis]

Still the same players. Defeat.

 

[eastwoodsdustman]

Been and got my tickets this morning. The king is dead. Long live the king.
I'll say 2-1 win as well.

 

[CV22SBA]

Heavy defeat and around 250 away fans

 

[skybluepm2]

Got my tickets plus it's my Birthday so surely 3 points??? 0-3, Sordell continues his rich vein of form(!), Jodi finally gets his arse into gear and Turnbull completes the rout with the SBA temporarily shouting 'Mark Venus's Sky Blue Army' until Steve Evans appointment brings us back to reality with a thud.

On a serious note, I just want a bloody win... 8-7 or 1-0 I don't care but it is getting serious!! We really aren't that bad a team.

 

[covcity4life]

If mowbray in charge a 3 nil win

Without him a 2-1 win as a thank you from the players for letting him down

Let's hope Venus isn't in charge for ages whilst we look for a manager

 

[stevefloyd]

Just a win any win before we lose too much ground on the 'pack'

 

[doha]

We're all aware 5th placed Vale have won 6 in a row at home including 3-1 against league leaders Scunthorpe, right?

 

[Paxman II]

yeah and that would be just typical right?

 

[malkitccfc]

we're Coventry City, form and stats mean nothing! 4-0 City, we're going down with a positive goal difference

 

[Oz Howie]

Not looking forward to this one. How demoralised are the players with Mogga leaving?

 

[hill83]

7-0 victory in the first of 30 wins in a row as we storm to the title. Also Sisu leave the day after and I find £20000000 buried in my back garden and learn how to turn invisible.

from watching the extended highlights i think there is a good chance of this happening.

 

[Deleted member 2477]

3-0 loss players demoralised after tm departure

 

[Nick]

I'm going to get you and SBK a hotel room, a bottle of Lambrini and let you watch them together.

 

[skybluetony176]

2-0. We're bound to win now.

 

[runner]

Sadly, as Otis says above ... same team, so no reason to believe a change in fortune, we are still a very poor team ... no front end, no defence, so 3 v 1 win for Port Vale (we are bound to get our customary 1 goal eh!)

 

[Grendel]

Team is weak. Unless Ghadzev can raise his game there is no strength at all in midfield. The options are too frail in defence - all the full backs I've seen have not been good enough.

I fear the worst.

We need to take a chance and play two forwards and genuine wide players.

Stevenson has some creativity.

I'd go for;

RCC

Willis
Turnball
Ricketts
McCann

Jones
Stevenson
Ghadzev
Reid

Sordell
Wright

Only 2 loans in that team as well. Sordell seems ok and would score some goals in a normal formation and if he starts scoring may get some confidence.

bigi been best player for 3 or 4 games now, you would drop him?

as a centre mid not right midfield*

 

[Grendel]

He wasn't best was he the last game? Frankly being best in a dire team is irrelevant.

You have to start to threaten teams. We are passive and we create nothing. I don't think he can operate in a two man midfield and I think we need wide players who threaten.

You can't have Stevenson and him together so choose between the two.

I think Stevenson looks much more threatening moving forward.

 

[jimmyhillsfanclub]

can I still POTG?.....or have some of their antics over recent seasons put pay to that?

 

[Generally Midfield]

Vale have a 100% home record in the league (5 wins out of 5) while we've got 1 away point from a possible 15. We can live in hope but even a draw would be a major upset based on form.

 

[Nick]

Apparently Reid out injured

 

[Generally Midfield]

The footballing gods have really got it in for us this season

 

[Brylowes]

Would think Vale will be relishing this 2 - 0 loss

 

[Monners]

2-1 win-coz I agree with everyone.
