This tiredness malarkey is making me unnecessarily angry 😠. We strolled to a win on Friday against a team who simply weren't at the races. It's not like we expended all our energy in a 4-3 nail biter. A really poor excuse if Moore has said that. We even had the luxury of subbing a sub on Friday to save him for today. An easier win we couldn't of hoped for.

If the players are tired from Friday then they are in the wrong profession !

Agree bar Debs. Just don't rate him myself. Clumsy player.

Big ask. 6 worse goal difference too at the moment. Charlton and Wycombe are decent home games for them.

We are in a way as it's one less game

Didn't Northampton play on Good Friday then ! That's poor from Moore. Usually they'll say the games can't come quickly enough when you're on a winning streak.

Away games are not the place for the likes of Dipepa, Shorrock etc. A step too far. He's doing fine but to be putting our hopes on a 17 year old again points to recruitment.

Sandwiched by a thrashing at Peterborough?

Yes bang on. It's delaying the inevitable I feel.

Or Lincoln and Posh rest players as confirmed in play offs and Stevenage not bothered as can't make the play offs by game 46

Just feel the fact Cheltenham have a game in hand plus Carlisle and Burton to play makes the great escape highly unlikely. Burton Vale Fleetwood Carlisle. Today hasn't defined the season but Shrewsbury and Cheltenham doing the double over us and the 2-2 v Fleetwood certainly has.

Since he signed !

As expected Wilson not in the squad. As good a team as we can name. Come on lads. Same effort please 🙏.

Whilst it's some achievement to play the amount of games that Smith has I'm sure he was touted for Norwich. Not sure if that was on of their brief Premier league excursions or at Championship level. Ultimately they didn't come a knocking or we'd of cashed in.

In fairness Warren his first Vale goal v Shrewsbury was from 6 inches. Fridays goal was an exception not the rule.

Maybe I'm harsh due to how good Arblaster was. He looked a sideways plodder that day considering all the hype. Good job Pompey were way off the ball that day. If we go down which is still odds on we won't be loaning many budding Premier league starlets . Be too low down the chain sadly.

He's certainly gone downhill hasn't he. Thought in their promotion side he looked a player. At a higher level he looks clumsy and awkward. Was really poor on Saturday.

Dan Gore ? Why would we possibly want him ? A disastrous loan. Whilst I realise he's been injured he was out of his depth v Pompey. And I've had my fill of injured players and sicknotes these last few seasons. A big no thanks to him rocking up in August having not played for 6 months.

Seeing as one once took a gamble on Joe Davis they've money to burn. A million is peanuts and if he didn't make the grade they've lost very little.

Think you are referring to Rotherham and Wimbledon away in the promotion season. The former still one of my most fondly remembered away days Boxing day 2012.

Not in form ? Beat Derby in their last home game and on Saturday had 19 shots to Readings 8 in an unfortunate defeat.

Think Wilson will be out. Possible that subbing a sub ( Dipepa) was as a precaution for tomorrow. If we go 2 up top it will be revitalised Loft with Dipepa.

You've missed Smithy out !

Made the very same comment that Dipepa and Walters could be twins. As could I felt Taylor and Burgess who I often got mixed up. Neither make me a racist. Any suggestion Mr Bowers is are ludicrous. They look similar in body shape and stature not because they are black. Shocking really to bring it into the equation.

We are endeared to Mr Bowers because he's Vale. Were I an away fan listening in I'd be bemused by the references to wrestling and marvel films and pure cheese. But Stevenage commentators were beyond awful and can't say as Cheltenham were anything other than Partridge-esque. I'd say other than top notch ones like Guy Mowbray and Martin Tyler ( who both will annoy people too ) , that most local commentary isn't much good. The Lard replacement for Red and White stockings Nigel Johnson is quite dreadful.
