Smith and Ripley were having a ding dong with each other a few minutes ago. Now a penalty for Posh. Come on Ripley = one of your penalty saves would be good. Endex and back into the drop zone.

Wonder who would win between Smith and Ripley. Might find out later in the game. Come on Vale.

You never know he could be good and what we need. 🤣 Tad late tho.

They forgot the important part of the game plan - keep concentrating till the ref blows the final whistle.

Who to replace Massey or just get him off - get him off and not replace him is very much like him still being on the pitch when you think about it. He plays like he is not really on the pitch a lot of the time. 🤪 Need to make Posh defend for a while and the only way to do that will be to put another striker on who can either team up with Loft or change Loft for Uche and bring on Dipepa as well and go 2 up front.

Another corner and a goal. Was hoping to go in 0-0 after their hard work. Again lack of concentration and static Vale and a goal.

Wonder if that is what DM thought, see if we can go in 0-0 and then try to nick a goal in the 2nd half. They are trying to fight against a very good Posh team. Thank god they have forgotten their shooting boots.

A draw would be awesome result. But just don't see that happening against this lot.

Think Lowe has changed his name to "Lowe that was poor" as that is what the commentator seems to call him. Come on Vale.

Just waiting for them to score. Come on Vale, need a ugly goal, great goal or any type of goal to upset Posh and their fans. They look to have some great players.

Agree, but this is Vale and not basing it on this year, but last year as well - we seem to be a generous team to the teams on poor runs, not scored for long spells or teams that have just played a game a few days before we seem to sit back and make mistakes. You never know what team will come out and play previously. The joy of being a long time Vale fan 🤪 DM certainly has them more more sorted/organised and not playing that tippy tappy pass back style of football, that seemed to get us into trouble now. As you say we have deserved a point or more in the games. I am hoping the fighting Vale turn up tonight and go for it and do hope we come away with 3 points. Specially what Carlise did last night. Oh if we can build on their win over Cheltenham. Come on Vale.

However, this is the ever giving Vale we are talking about. Teams that are on bad runs, not scored in a while or could be tired from playing a match a few days ago, the players go mad and give them a chance. Come on Vale, go for it and take the 3 points tonight. Keep the dream of the greatest escape a live. Carlise did us a favour last night.

Totally see why some people don't rate Loft. I would have hoped he would have scored more goals for us and that is a big disappointment. But he does a lot of off the ball stuff and pulls defenders with him, also pings in crosses into the box for players to try and score. If we had players that could ping the balls into the box, maybe Loft would be in the box and putting them away, instead of him trying to do that job. Down to poor recruitment by fraudcroft - some may say Loft was a mistake by him as well. Yes probably more of a panic buy, which has cost the club - but they set a max spend line and lost strikers to other clubs due to sticking with it and then maybe had to bust it to get Loft and Uche anyway. You saw on saturday when Uche came on, the commentators quickly said the back 4 had a quick chat about Uche and how to mark him. He brings that battering ram style of play, where opposition try and take him out, but just end up being bounced off or clinging to him. He also showed on saturday he can tackle as well, with a couple of great tackles. They bring different things to the game. If Loft scored more, he may be liked more by fans. Uche is liked by most fans due to him battering opposition when he comes on.

Know what you mean. Both would not be first choice strikers as both have their good points and also their bad points. Uche brings defenders out of position and causes problems with his size, but can miss simple shots just like Loft does. Loft, not a natural goal scorer for us, but does ping in crosses and does a lot of off ball stuff that Uche seems to not do. If there was another striker for Vale, they would probably be a head of them both.

No TV, as it may be too much for the Vale players to cope with. 🤣

There again Loft does a lot of the off ball stuff. One of those, either brings something different to the game.

That was a huge naughty step we were all sitting on contemplating our naughty behaviour. 🤣

Most of the fan base. 😉

Depends what side turns up against Peterborough. The Vale players may be confident they can get a result after todays point.

He pulled off some great saves and a Wigan friend said he is great for them, but can be a nightmare at times as well. Why today have a good game tho. 🤣

Well that is better than no points. Out of the relegation zone for a few days. Hopefully, this will give them some confidence the great escape could be on. Well done Vale players and Staff for the point. 3 would have been dreamland, but you concentrated and tried to get a winner.

Well as Loft is off the pitch. Goal from a deflection - last touch of the match off Uche. 🤣

Didn't he get taken off last match due to a knock? Last couple of games he has had lumps kicked out of him.

Tickle - think of the Mr Men. Godo - think of Ghostbuster films. Come on Vale.

Wish Tickle would f..k off. Stop pulling this great saves off. Come on Vale.
