    Every team got a injury crises and suspensions. 

    We have not win a a league for two months. That is not down to injuries

    In regards to the injury situation, we have had a fair few out like most teams but looking back, other than Clarke and Lacavotti, I would say we have had our best 11 available for most of the season.  Grant and Wilson were massive risks and always likely to break down and I would say Plant been far better than Grant and would have been first choice in that position.  Debrah is an upgrade on Dan Jones and Balmer.  Ojo, Arblaster and Devine been our best midfield combination and been available all season, Garrity our best forward been there all season, Ripley touch wood been available all the way through.  

    For me if everyone was fit and we were playing a quarter final against Boro, my 11 would be 

    Ripley, Clarke, Debrah, Smith, Lacavotti, Plant, Ollie, Ojo, Alfie, Garrity, Uche and 9 of that 11 has been available in 90% of games since they joined.

    How many people do you really think will want to watch Vale v Middlesbrough on tv ?

    Other than Vale or Middlesbrough fans not many I suspect.  People always moan saying why always the premier league teams are shown, it is easy to know why.  Sky will always show the matches where the biggest audience will be and Chelsea v Newcastle and Liverpool v West Ham will attract 10 times more than the Vale.

    The suggestion that the Vale are "ripping people off" would be deeply offensive to Carol. The club have done a superb job in making and keeping season tickets affordable and have put together some excellent packages for children with tickets and shirts etc. 

    They've put £1 (yes, £1) on a matchday ticket price for the biggest game in a long time and they get this grief. It must make the owners wonder why they bother.      

    No idea what has been said on other sites as don't use facebook or twitter but on here I would say people have not accused Carol of ripping fans off on here but maybe question whether £25 is a little bit steep the week before Christmas.  As I posted earlier, I generally think the cost is too expensive throughout all of the domestic leagues.   Any abuse is bang out of order and no place for that if people have done that and generally hope this is a night to remember for all Vale fans.

  4. For me the cost of tickets in this country is too expensive regardless across all forms of football.  There are now teams in league 2 charging upwards of £30 for a ticket when in Germany, the average cost of a season ticket in the Bundesliga is £200.  

    I feel £20 would have been a fair price for this match, I realise it is a quarter final and most people are probably going to find a way to purchase the tickets but I can't help but feel for some of those where £25 is too much to justify getting a ticket.

    As someone who works for the local authority, we live in a massively deprived area and some people do not realise how much this is the case.  The amount of people I see and refer to foodbanks is just awful, admittedly these people are unlikely to go to football but the difference of £5 in a price of a ticket to some people is massive, apologies for the rant.

  5. What I can't  believe Is that we have into this season with a squad of 23/24 players and we have literally 3 players with a left foot which include Dan Jones who has spent over 50% of his time injured, Connor Grant who was out for virtually the whole of last season and Lacovitti, fair enough we are unfortunate with the Yak but the chances of Jones and Grant staying fit were small.  We have no one that can on the outside on the left and put some telling balls, we have stop and come back and so easy to defend against down that side.  It is criminal to think that was ever going to be enough.
