Coach Andy Smith: Boys put a good shift in
Port Vale coach Andy Smith praised the Port Vale team after their penalty shootout win over Doncaster Rovers in the Football League Trophy.
Vale won the game after a penalty shootout win but results elsewhere meant Vale were knocked out of the tournament.
Smith told the media: “I thought the boys played well. We looked comfortable on the ball and created some half-decent chances but not as much as we would have liked, but we passed the ball about really well and had a nice bit of tempo to our play.
“So, the boys put a good shift in but unfortunately it wasn’t to be.
“They did well here, had some good movement. We had players coming in who hadn’t played many games and they put a good shift in.”
