It's called putting striker's on from the beginning
I love and respect the gaffer, but despite thought going into team selection it does seem strange to leave out Thomas when he has pace and a eye for goal.
Gonna be hard for us to take advantage of all these scoring opportunities if we’re expecting midfield players to be strikers.
Same comments every week. Both boxes a problem area and that’s where games are win and lost. Don’t take chances but we play with no strikers to take them
Fallen out with Mitch
“We need score” … maybe play someone that trained there whole career too score a goal
" we have came here with a game plan " didnt work, also we need to play strickers
Best team we have seen at Fratton this season! Good luck for this season! PUP
Im a vale fan of 50 years with our club once we give wilson another contract was beyond ridiculous we dont have any goal scorers or center forwards worth a fuck we have bought in new players that are great but no number 9 is a joke the new kid we signed that was here 8 years ago we signed this week is he anygood playing in the turkish league
Spend some fuckin money on 2 good center forwards loft is out and we bought him and hes shit waste of money
Shit signing
We need atleast 2 good forwards
Come on vale we needthese now
We can call players whatever we want. Strikers.. midfield.. defender..we didn't score not because "strikers" weren't on the pitch..we didn't score because professional footballer's who should be able to kick a ball into the net didn't. Simple.
We have one of the best midfields in the league (Arblaster, Ojo, Chislett, Plant etc) but are poor at the back and absolutely toothless up front. And why won't Crosby play a different formation when your main wing-backs are missing like Clark? Every week he's putting square pegs in round holes and we're now being found out. Put a good striker in our side and add some pace at the back and we would be flying.
A man who overthinks football massively.
It’s a simple game.
Especially at this level.
His refusal to play a striker at this level is criminal.
We are not Man City.
He takes the plaudits at the start of the season.
Now it’s 1 point from 15 and but for a late penalty save that would be zero.
Change Andy.
You’ve been found out.
This is Bruno all over again.
Pompey fan here. I thought first half you were the better side, and probably should have been 1-0 ahead. However, we always seem to come out firing in the second half of games and managed to get quick-fire brace, and completely change the dynamic of the game. I think you’ll certainly be there or thereabouts if you can maintain that first half performance for longer – good luck for the season!
If Clark is fit and not being picked….that's as alarming as not starting with a striker.
Mitch is far and away our best wingback….I hope whatever the obvious but mysterious issue is, is rectified rate rapid!
Pompey fans are praising our performance whilst Vale fans, or to give them their correct title of 'Armchair managers' are questioning Crosby's sanity. You couldn't make it up. One idiot on FB even suggested AC was aiming to get the sack so he could join DC at Cheltenham 😂
