Can we shoot down the Seagulls?

[raymo37]

Vale will do it 3-1

[Rudge's Flat Cap]

They're playing Burnley on Tuesday and they currently lie 6th in the Championship. Where do their priorities lie? Not tomorrow. Having said that, no professional enters a football match not to win it. They're favourites but all things considered, it's a fair match-up.

1-1 Lofty to score for us.

[PVFC764]

As smithie wants a prediction.

 

Wet, cold stoke weather - which Brighton players wont like one bit. Wind to blow in from bycars. Vale to battle it out to a 2-1 win. Griff kicking players all over the park. Grimmer to score and Hugill to get one.

If Brighton's second string beat Championship Reading in the last round, what chance do we have. I expect them to go with a mix of first team and reserves against us, so my head says Vale 0 Brighton 3. My heart says Vale 2 Brighton 1.

[smithie]

So far it's Vale to win 7, Brighton to win 1, one draw and one "heart v head" prediction which is no use to me here in the OVF studio.

[TheSage]

I naturally hope we can win but if they play a strong team and play well we'll get beaten very easily.

They are a class above us and only missed out on the Premiership last year in their final play-off game.

It could be a comfortable away win by 3-4 goals.

 

However, if they rest 1-2 and the pitch is heavy and the Vale lads play out of their skins we might get a draw or sneak it 2-1.

 

They are overwhelming favourites and will probably have 70% possession. I think they'll win 3-1.

 

Sorry.

Weather may play a big part and how the pitch holds up bit like the spurs game all those years ago, so with that in mind i'll go for a sneaky 1-0 to the vale.

[Bogie Boogie]

If it were to be played down south I 'd say we had little or no chance, but we're playing in Beautiful Burslem in the middle of a damp, windy and wet winter day, on a heavy pitch and as the Brighton fans called us on their blog, 'neanderthal' fans cheering the Mighty Valiants on on on!

 

So, it's a no brainer. PVFC to gun down the southern seagulls!

 

Gooooooooo on VALE

We play Crawley on Tuesday. We lie 8th in league 1 with a game in hand on Walsall and Peterborough. Where do our priorities lie?

[CambridgeDon]

Even if they play their second string they will be formidable opposition as they have a great squad, with the second best defence in the championship. My head says Brighton 1-3 but, if we play like we can, we could just do it. So my heart says 2-1 Vale with a Lines' free kick to win it for us, just like Ray Walker against Spurs. C'mon the Vale!!! :)

[Angel of Burslem]

2-1 Vale. Vale race into a 2-0 lead catching Brighton off-guard. They score on 75 mins to give us a nervy last 15 that includes 2 off the line clearances and another penalty save!

[smithie]

Pheep, pheep, pheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep!

 

Full time.

 

Vale 11 Brighton 2

Money, but avoiding replays, thus the 5th round.

Remember Spurs, Everton home and away and Arsenal home and away we had no chance in those games, its the cup and anything can happen.
