Northampton Town 0-1 Port Vale – fans’ reactions
Great win. A real battle against a team that just wanted to launch the ball into the box in the windy conditions. Brown excellent again. Brisley had a great game and definitely should be offered a new contract.

Wow!! This result, and our others against the teams around the play-off places, shows we could compete if we managed to get in there! Well done Vale, JA and the Shanahans!

What a great result. Great credit to Askey on his team selection. Kept Brisley in, with Smith and Manny on the bench.

That was real tension at the end but what a result. Still expecting us to miss out … but maybe?
Man of the match a close call. Brown made a couple of decent saves. Legge was solid. Conlon was the pick of the midfield and attacking players. For me Brisley was awesome and won every battle in a real bombardment.

Roll on the next game and hopefully another 3 points. Hard to pick a man of the match for Vale today. All the players put a shift in and several pushing for MOM. Great to see Vale players battling away in very windy conditions
