Tom Pope: luck wasn’t on our side
Striker Tom Pope said the game against Newport was quite enjoyable to play in but results are going against the Valiants this season.
Pope scored but it wasn’t enough as the visitors recorded a 2-1 win.
After scoring, Pope became the record goalscorer at Vale Park but the striker was keen to stress it was a team game.
“It’s a team game. I’m proud of myself in twenty years time I may sit in the pub tell everyone I was record goalscorer once but when you are losing games of football it is the last thing you think about.
“Today, for large parts of play we dominated and I actually quite enjoyed it. We hit the posts two or three times and it was one of those days when decisions and luck wasn’t on our side.”
