We’ve ended up with the horrible mix of a rookie manager, a load of out of contract players, untested loanees and academy graduates.
I’ve tried to be positive since Dutton came in, but this feels like a recipe for disaster.

One step forward, two steps back. Neither performance nor result was good, so time to finish that nursery time and deliver something to stay in this effing league. Please, don’t make League Two another Championship, ok.
One attempt on target. One goal.
At least Port Vale are losing.

Cambridge just scored!!!
Vincent. Wasn’t in the 18 so assumed he was injured. Obviously not.
We’re all over the place. Off the pitch and on the pitch the club is in a right two and eight.
The worry is that I don’t believe the players could try any harder. They are being as good as they can be. They just aren’t very good.
Dutton needs to decide how we play and who plays. And practice that way and those players. Exactly the words I’ve used for Clarke in the last 18 months.
Meanwhile Adebayo with a goal and an assist in the championship. He was playing for us a few weeks ago and we more or less gave him away.
We’re all over the place.

Might pop onto the Vale forums to cheer me up a bit.

Carry on like this and the players will not have a clue what they are meant to be doing. Sunday parks stuff last 10 minutes. Simply not good enough. We start the game with a game plan and end up changing it after 20 minutes.
To say that we are trying to pass the ball about means nothing. They are professional footballers so they should be able to do that with their eyes closed. Clearly Dutton does not have a plan and this playing from the back just covers over the cracks that we haven’t got a clue. Get a proper manager in now or fear the worst!!!

I said the other day BD would have my support to the end of the season but this constant changing of systems is simply crazy. Kelly said in the commentary. He needs to decide on his best side and best system and stick to it for the remaining games.

Looks like I made a good decision to close out my season points bet when Duffer Dutton was appointed.

If I was Pomlett I would be on the phone to Dosh right now.
Get him in until the end of the season and steady this sinking ship.
There’s no fans in the ground so he can’t fall out with any of them, and the club could just pay for a Just Eat account as the deal clincher so he doesn’t have to go to the chippy.

Dutton was part of the problem for the last 18 months, he should be nowhere near being part of the solution.
You did indeed. I ummed and arred and left it running.
Looks like I’ll be doing the windas myself for a while

Looks increasingly like everything he’s learned about football, he learned from Clarke.

Yow all wanted a style of play. Stop hoofing it.
3 games it’s took for you abandon that.
Pay in peanuts you get monkies.

I thought we might come back a little after we scored, had the ref given that stone wall penalty on for the foul on Gordon things would have been different.
Our ball control and passing was not up to standard, even in this league, and we gave the ball away again and again.
It was almost a guarantee Cook was going to score. You give a decent forward that much space in the box, you’re going to get punished. I know some people didn’t like him, but the lad can finish and we really miss that.
We’re in a bad run of form which needs to be corrected to avoid the inevitable slide towards the bottom.
We did show some fight today and looked better when Norman and Vincent entered the game.
