Depends on the score after 20 minutes. Vale invariably allow their opposition about 80% possession for the opening exchanges and often it results in us being behind before we get going. The only way I see it not happening is if Miller starts, because then we have a bit more attacking threat. He...
Once again we started slowly and I thought we were in for a long night. As the half went on we got more into the game and 0-0 at the break was fair. Second half we were excellent for 25 mins by swapping Whitfield for Miller. We really should be made this dominance pay and Pope was guilty of...
Aspin already making noises about 'keeping it tight' in the press. Another 'to nil' defeat in store and another night wondering if we will ever try to win an away match ever again.
I watched the highlights of the 1-0 home win over Oldham in 2014, in the January of our first season back in...
I actually think once they get their first win they'll get a few more. Looking at each match in isolation, they should've piked up far more points than they have and I believe they've had some unfortunate luck. Whether the late goals is a mentality thing is debatable, but I reckon a new manager...
How many are you giving us?
Haven't played eachother for a few years and it should be everyone's first day off for Christmas holidays so I'd expect us to bring a minimum 1500.
Not sure if it's true but apparently we've scored five goals from open play all season (that is not from Pens, Corners, Fks etc).
If true, very worrying indeed.
There's no defending what Aspin does with us away from home. I think most fans would prefer us to go gung ho and occasionally get thumped but at least regularly score goals and worry teams than meekly looking for a 0-0.
His post match interviews are tragic. Clearly his priority is not to...
Team news is out and we've gone very defensive by recalling Kay, Worrall and Hardcastle for Miller, Manny and Whitfield.
We're going for a 0-0 and we're up shit creek if we go 1-0 down early.
This is Norman Smurthwaite's Port Vale. He doesn't believe in paying for things. I'm led to believe that we have a club doctor and a part-time physio. The physio doesn't have the necessary qualifications to be able to attend to players on the pitch, hence you'll always see him being accompanied...
