- Rob Fielding on TWO debutants and ELEVEN changes for Vale’s Football League Trophy clash with Newcastle Utd: “I think you have to keep seven (I may be wrong on that figure) players from the last match squad in this one. That includes subs. From the MK game... Vale have Brown, Gibbons, Smith, Taylor and Burgess on the bench plus Cullen, Browne, Brisley and Archer (all subs against MK) starting. So, they've got nine players who were in the last squad which I think means they are within the rules.” Nov 12, 22:04
- Peter Evans on TWO debutants and ELEVEN changes for Vale’s Football League Trophy clash with Newcastle Utd: “Thought you got fined for making so many changes” Nov 12, 19:07
- Ronnie Gregory on Match Preview: Port Vale v Oldham Athletic, 26th Oct 2019: “Why not ride the hot hand and give Atkinson a shot hoping heroics at Bradford continue? Port Vale have been stout at home, going undefeated in the last 6 home games in League 2 matches and even though Oldham is coming off a 2-0 midweek win, I don't see them as competition for the home side. Prediction 2-1 home win.” Oct 25, 14:38
- Ian Lancaster on Everest, Afghanistan, the Outback – the weirdest places fans have followed a Port Vale game from: “Iquitos in peru in the amazon We beat Huddersfield” Oct 18, 14:38
- Berni Potts on Watch highlights of Port Vale’s 3-1 win over Morecambe: “What happened to this rule that when you are sent off or substituted you go off at the nearest point of the field of play?... He walks all the way across the pitch!” Oct 6, 10:18
