To be honest I'm not even sure it should have been a penalty. Looked just outside the box to me, but obviously we'll take it! 1-1 is the correct scoreline after that first half. We can win this if our final ball is just a little bit better and the right subs are made. But Cambridge have quality...

From what I saw Conlon went to clear the ball but kicked their player instead. Haven't seen a replay but looked a penalty all day long, as it was so clumsy.

Whitehead is inept. Burgess must be really shit right now not to get in ahead of him. That said, imagine how good we might be if you put Oyeleke and Amoo in this team.

Very equal first half. Cambridge were unlucky not to go 2 up after hitting the post which might have been curtains but generally our reaction to going one down to a penalty so early has been excellent. Could go either way, but I love our subs bench.

Worrall should have picked him out there for a simple tap in. He's largely been pants this season so far.

Two good teams here. Both a danger going forward. Can't wait until we get Amoo back and in our side though.

You've sold it to me! Cheers. Here's to a decent game. :thumbs:

What's the camera like at Cambridge in regards to iFollow? I don't want to order again if the camera angle is the same as it was in the Morecombe match away. It was an absolute abomination, so much that after 5 minutes I turned it off. (Not that I missed much in the end)

He's a lower league manager and he will get things wrong sometimes. I get that. Though I don't know one other Vale fan that would have put out the same 11 as he did against Carlisle. But we shouldn't be as incompetent going forward as we have been in these first handful of games. For me it's...

When you're randomly choosing games to drop Conlon and Joyce for Whitehead and Burgess, while also changing formation for no sensible reason, then that's on the manager. I do agree that he's got a lot right in his time at the club since he joined and long may it continue. But you can try to...

Because we don't score enough goals at the moment, and also in the past to an extent, one of the problems is that we generally don't score early goals. If you score early against those sides that come to sit in then at some point they have to change their game plan. We should be after teams that...

Generally we like to keep possession but I actually think we're better when the other team has more of the ball, or at least we are generally more dangerous. I genuinely believe tomorrow's game will bring out the best in us, but it's League Two, so no result would be too surprising. In this...

Because we're both massive. Lol.

He was electric but was so fast that it was often to the detriment of his final ball. But even when he wasn't playing well he was always great at getting us up the pitch, especially away from home.

I can only see us getting better as the season goes on. Maybe most clubs would say that. But we're in 8th now despite playing nowhere near to what we would hope is our best, and haven't once had our best 11 out yet. For me our best 11 is the below, and that's a team that's good enough for...

Pretty sure he was your top scorer? And I'm yet to see anyone actually rate a player that had left the club they support for whatever reason. But whatever you think of him, 11 goals in 38 games for a wide player is a good record at any level.

We generally play better against the better sides, teams that actually have a go at us! Mansfield have some good players but they are where they are currently for a reason. If we were playing them I'd almost say the 3 points to them was a given!

Our squad is more than good enough for the top 3. If we don't score enough goals with the players we have then the fault lies with the manager, nobody and nothing else. Most teams in League Two would give a bollock for players like Pope, Cullen, Robinson, Amoo, Worrall, McKirdy, Montano and Oyeleke.

Don't know where I got Mansfield from haha. To be fair Amoo hasn't always been available for us! When he is he can be a frustrating player, but someone that can win you a game when he's at it. Legge is on his way to being a bit of a club legend if he sticks around for another couple of years...

Looking forward to the challenge tomorrow! Mansfield have started well obviously! Hannant for us was pretty average (he always gave 100% and was a likeable lad though!) but he seems to have really come on for them. Ironside played for then local rivals Macclesfield and had a pretty poor record...
