vale boy

Will be a long season again for the Vale again I'm afraid. Thought they were decent against Broxburn and should have gone 2 up. Broxburn have a bit more quality which told in the end although 5-2 was a bit harsh. Wasn't at the Linlithgow game thankfully but by all accounts Vale were pathetic against a good team. Boness were very comfortable despite the score only being 2-0. Think it was over 70 mins before Vale had a shot on target. Its been a tough start to the season

Seems that getting experienced players in especially mid season was an impossible task. Being bottom of the league with a shocking goal against tally hardly made it an enticing prospect.The financial demands from players in the LL surely played its part also . Relegation is fairly inevitable now so I had hoped he would continue and try and build a squad for next season. The guys on the committee are hard working and despite the results this season there actually seems to be more local support turning up to games. Good luck to him in the future.

Gutted to see Grant stand down. He came in after the squad was left in a total mess. Results have been poor with too many defeats but the team have at least been competitive in some games. Was hoping he would stay on for next season but I think he's found it difficult to bring players with experience in.
