Team news

Billy Knott: in contention

Manager Micky Adams has hinted at changes and that could mean that all three subs used against Gillingham could start. Loanee Billy Knott impressed and may take the place of Anthony Griffith while young strikers Ben Williamson and Jordan Hugill are putting pressure on Tom Pope and Gavin Tomlin. Winger Jennison Myrie-Williams may also return after Louis Dodds was preferred for “tactical reasons” against the Gills. Finally, Carl Dickinson returns from suspension and may replace Daniel Jones.

Swindon Town defender Jay McEveley is suspended but Troy Archibald-Henville and Alex Pritchard return from their bans.

Possible Vale starting XI:

Neal

Grimmer Robertson Davis Dickinson

Myrie-Williams Knott Lines Loft

Williamson Hugill


 

Pre-match quotes

Loft: expecting tough game

“We are expecting a tough game – Swindon always give us a good game and they battered us earlier on in the season, so hopefully we will play better than that and get some more points at home.”

– Doug Loft

“Swindon lost at the weekend so they will have a point to prove just as we do. We know what they are all about and we have always had tough games against them, even in League Two. It is going to be a tough game, but one that I think we can get something out of.”

– Joe Davis
