Id rather have tom pope batting for england than Ollie pope

They have got the whole ground open for what will be a very low crowd, as that is what you get now for cup games. We probably should shut one of the stands but if they do people moan about that.

There was more than that there. About 500 people in the railway stand didn't get scanned in properly as they used the railway paddock turnstiles instead of the railway stand ones.

If it's going be a similar spinning wicket next match, then we need play all 3 spinners Ahmed, leach and Bashir. Id also tell players like brook and smith to try play more sensibly instead of trying hit everything to the boundary.

If England had actually won a toss for once then they would probably be ahead of the game instead of behind it. Smith and carse have probably both got get scores over 50 to get England anywhere near level to Pakistan total. I think chasing over 150 to win on this used pitch will be very...

There will probably only be 3000 at the vale game with about 300 Barnsley fans so won't need more than the standard 4 police on duty so I think it will be fine to be a Saturday game.

It wasnt calling vale fans idiots it was something about vale fans need to educate themselves was what he said. I can't remember the incident but a vale player must have got sent off for a tackle at vale park and vale fans were booing and calling the ref a wanker which pretty much happens every...

If they are using the same pitch then it shouldn't be as flat as last week and the cracks on there should make it turn more for the spinners. Barbar Azam is a quality batter so surprised they have left him out despite his bad run. I don't know who they have called up to replace them players but...

I said I would have took 2 draws from the 2 away games against notts county and mk dons and we have 3 points so I'm not bothered if we get thrashed on Saturday. Your going end up with a 17 year old shorrock at wing back who is inexperienced and it's not his natural position. Basically Mitch...

Due to the amount of injuries vale have got and nobody available to play wingback I can't see anything other than a 6 nil win for mk dons.

Bad toss to lose really being out in the sun 36 degrees for a day and a half batting and fielding will take its toll. The pitch will probably play well for the first 3 or 4 days. England don't really draw games so there will most likely be a result in the game. If Pakistan score 550 then I'd be...

The outcome of this game will depend on how many shots on target notts county have. At the moment they haven't had any, as soon as they do they will score

I think he's just picked that side so he can say he has given other players a game. The only problem is that side selected isn't anywhere near good enough compared to what we are capable of putting out. It's very likely a thrashing will happen now but he's got his excuse in already that it's a...

The main vale thing is Ripley starting meaning anything notts county hits on target goes in. Playing shorrock a 17 year old when he ain't featured all season is strange basically picked a team knowing full well it's going lose. Basically goes back to last season when you saw the team selection...

Your basically comparing the lowest home crowd of the season with the highest away following. The vale home average is something like 6500. Think it was 6700 in a relegation season last season. Basically attendances are 1500 up from the normal 5000 average being hovering around for 15 years...

I'd stop playing Tuesday night then and play wednesday night instead. Also vale went something like 10 years without a win on a Sunday but obviously not as many games are played on a Sunday than a Tuesday night.

I don't know if it's something to do with coaching than the actual goalkeepers. Basically Ripley,stone and Stevens none of them saved anything, basically anything on target goes in against them. You also have Ripley never comes to claim crosses and sometimes gets caught out 20 yards from goal...

Vale won't win a home Tuesday night league game ever again. 2 and a half years and counting.

Ripley doesn't save anything so if notts county have 6 shots on target then it will be 6 nil. Enjoy your big win.

The thing is your saying you won't open the rest of the stand for something like 500 extra supporters yet you have to open the stand up the 1900 part of it every season for 100 Accrington, Harrogate, Sutton, Morecambe, Salford fans. So based on what your saying it's not worth opening any part of...
