Players and management
“It was a terrible performance and I’m grateful to get a point because we didn’t deserve it. We will take that as the only positive from the game. We were second best and we must be better than we were today…”
Vale manager Neil Aspin
“We didn’t really get going, they didn’t help with the way they killed the game – they got their goal, they looked good – miles better than us…”
Vale striker Tom Pope
“I want the players to be proud because to come away from home and pick up a point is good. We knew they wanted to get one over on us and beat us but they couldn’t do that. My players had to stand up to the physical battle and they did. We played some fantastic football and it should have been five or six. The first half was probably the best away that I’ve witnessed…”
Yeovil manager Darren Way

“If that is the level of performance is continued we will be relegated ,make no bones about it. Freezing cold in the stands and nothing on the pitch to warm you up. Yeovil man for man were better than us all over the pitch…”

“Aspin has done well since his arrival but yesterday was a real cause for concern. We created nothing for 95 minutes and didn’t deserve anything from the game…”
