Port Vale Loanwatch – Plant makes fifth appearance for Yeovil

There’s not much to cheer as we produce our latest round-up of how Vale’s out on-loan players are faring…

Plant suffers poor Yeovil run

Youngster James Plant is now five games into his latest loan spell with National League side Yeovil – and it’s not been a painless experience. Town have won just one of those games. It resulted in the sacking of manager Mark Cooper. They suffered a 3-1 home loss to York City at the weekend.

Hart also awaiting debut

The International break means that left wingback Sam Hart is yet to make his debut for Scottish Premiership side St Mirren. Hart joined on a season-long loan earlier this month.

Davies misses out
