Luke Hannant: the mood is a lot happier now

Port Vale winger Luke Hannant says that Saturday’s win over Mansfield Town has lifted the entire Port Vale squad.

Vale ended a long run of winless home matches in the League with a 2-1 win over Mansfield.

The mood around the ground is a lot happier than it has been over previous weeks. We know how massive that win was…

Hannant told the media: “The mood around the ground is a lot happier than it has been over previous weeks. We know how massive that win was.

“We’d come off the back of a few poor results but I don’t think that was down to our performance; I think it was just the odd goal letting us down.

“The performances recently have been really good. We played a high pressing game on Saturday and we forced them into a number of errors.

“We need to take that kind of mentality into Tuesday’s game.”
