Worrall says Vale players must thrive on the pressure
Winger David Worrall has urged his team mates to use the pressure of their league position positively as they prepare to face Notts County.
Clubs throughout the country – whether they are struggling in the Highland League or lurking at the bottom of the England National League South table – will be feeling under pressure. Vale will certainly feel it when they take on relegation rivals Notts County this weekend.
There’s always pressure and there always will be pressure… You’ve just got to get on with it and we can use it to our advantage…
However, David Worrall has urged the players to embrace the stress telling the official Port Vale website: “Obviously there’s pressure, but there’s pressure at the start of the season before you’ve kicked a football before the season’s started.
“There’s always pressure and there always will be pressure. No matter what age you are, you speak to the older lads like Popey, Tongey and Pughy, they still feel pressure.
“You’ve just got to get on with it and we can use it to our advantage.”
Worrall is pleased with his own form after returning to the first-team. He added: “Under the last manager I was starting to come in and out of it. I was training hard; I was doing really well in training it’s just taking it into the games.
“I came on the other night, did well and the gaffer said I deserved my start, it just seems to be my luck. I need a goal, I need an assist – get an assist and Ben was offside just, and then the last game I get a goal and it’s disallowed when it shouldn’t have been.
“I just need to keep going. I need to get assists and goals, I need to get in the box and hopefully that can be a start now.”
