Guppys left peg

Not sure if they’ve been doing some more fitness work lately in training but the energy levels in the last two games are night and day compared to before.

This Rovers keeper is an absolute competition winner. Looks as bad as some of the shockers we’ve had in the past. Nearly Lofty. Brilliant from Baylee again. That will be another £10m if anyone from City or Chelsea are reading…

Right we’ve been in this position before a few times. Keep going Vale, don’t give them any hope. This might be a chance to claw back some of that GD too.

BAYLEE that is filth!!!!

Decent half that for us I think. Another 45 like that Vale please. We’ve been putting some nice deliveries into the box mostly through Sang.

Seen this a few times now with Loft. He’s can pick a pass out quite well.

Get in Garrity. Nice finish that.

You’re absolutely right. The behind the goal cam shows it well that defender would have blocked it if he went low so it was the one place he could hit it and the percentages were in his favour. Really well done. Was a great save by Blackman too in fairness to him. He was copping it from the Vale fans all second half.

Club tweeted it and presume it’s on their Facebook and insta page too. Can see how happy all Lofts teammates are for him

If this game doesn’t end with a Ryan Loft breakaway and smashing it home in front of the Hamil what are we even doing?? Just got to go according to the DC mantra of one game at a time. Apply the same grit and determination they showed today and we have a shout.

Watching the goal back that pass from Loft to Chislett was a thing of beauty. Well controlled on that finish too, it wasn’t an easy one particularly on that pitch and a defender throwing himself in front of him.

Far be it from me to take all the credit for Loftys goal but what do you know 😎 And by the way if come the summertime transfer thread anyone thinks of suggesting Hudlin as an option this summer please everyone just give it short shrift. Looked like the quintessential competition winner when he came on he did.

That was thoroughly deserved for us, am so pleased we got it done today. Seemed the team played with a bit more aggression and grit. Loft was excellent with his workrate and winning aerial contests. The goal he scored it was well done by him on the build up getting it to Chizzy in the first place and also following up on the rebound. Buy a ticket win the raffle, hopefully this can be something for him to build on. Thought the away support was brilliant today, backed the team the whole way and when Loft missed in the first half people just backed him more which pleased me. Real genius from the Burton fans behind the goal throwing a flare on the pitch after our goal.

LOFTY you <ovf censored> deserve that!!

We really deserve to win this.

Should Loft have scored yes but beyond that he’s done a decent job for us so I think it’s really off some of these comments quite frankly. We’re in the game at least and hopefully should have the wind second half. Quick request to the team in future right on half time just boot it clear and not try some intricate move off a goal kick. That could have made things very different.

Oh Lofty, there goes the omen I was hoping for. I’ll be fair to him he’s done alright otherwise winning his aerial contests.

Think they said over 900. Using the Stoke City calculator we’ll call it 21000 😂

If anyone wants an omen Lofty in the shooting practise warmup has nailed a couple of beauts. Less said about some of the attempts from the rest the better… god loves a trier though!

Just looking at the pitch these goalmouths are very bare. I’d humbly suggest lots of low shots and see if one catches a dodgy bounce or be ready for the rebound.

DiPepa would cost them a lot more he’s already on a senior contract now.

It’s a good point to be honest. Don’t think there’s been a combo that hasn’t been tried and all have had roughly the same effect bar fleeting moments. Guess at this point we’re unlikely to see Dan Gore either. You’d have thought given the length of time he’s been out they as well have announced terminating his loan. They did with the one from Liverpool.

That’s how I’m seeing it. Ojo and Garrity sitting in and then Chislett behind Willo and Loft.

Looks like 3 at the back which doesn’t please me at all. Never mind strikers the recruitment of the wingback position has been sackable in itself. Either way come on Vale. Be a great time for Loft to hit form if he can.

Don’t disagree that DM and his coaching staff may well be very good but ultimately you can only get so much out of the players you have. Just look at our set piece defending. I am pretty certain they’ll have done extensive work on it but the same old issues are arising and it costs us game after game. To get some semblance of organisation / defence against corners should be one of the easiest things to sort out for them but these players are incapable. Starting with the captain.
