Sat 15th Nov 2014, Port Vale v Rochdale, pre-match, the match itself.

Moore's brief appearance against MK was orders of magnitude better than what Birchall managed in 70 minutes, he was appalling.

 

Both were crap. Moore is fast but appears to have next to no footballing brain, and I am yet to see him put in a cross or shot on target for us yet.

[bar1]

Forgot about McGivern.

 

Have to put Duffy in at CB then.

Duffy's suspended as well

 

It will be Robertson I guess, or possibly Veseli

[bar1]

Wont be an easy game this.

 

They are top of the form table with 6 wins out of the last 8, and have one of the best away records, scoring the most.

 

3-0 Vale :D

[tonyh]

So, everyone's for dropping one of the men who have scored 3 goals in the last 4 games.

Damned if you do .......

Rochdale's Matt Lund has been drafted into the Northern Ireland squad

Let them worry about us! We are going to have a new back 4, again so we need to help the lads by getting behind them.

Peter Vincenti is out as well, so there's another wide man gone.

[Birches Head Fred]

I think now that Streete has returned to Newcastle then Brown must play to protect the back four. Rochdale will give us a real game but hopefully they will have one eye on Tuesdays cup replay.

No idea what line-up Page will go with but I'd plump for something like :

 

Neale

 

Yates

Robertson

Veseli

Dickinson

 

Brown

 

Lines

O'Connor

Marshall

 

Nguesson

Campion

 

Anyone who scores a hattrick for the reserves deserves to start given our lack of goals and we have plenty of options on the subs bench to change things (Midfield and up-front at least) if/when required.

[LancyTony]

"given our lack of goals".

 

10 goals in 4 games???

[Robbie Earle's Perm]

Any team which beats Preston 3-0 must have summat about them.

Its a good game they will bring around about 6/700 so that might get some of our fans interested in attending .

Its a clean slate for Robertson as for Veseli lets hope they both contribute in a positive way .

Id bring in Moore for Birchall .

Possibly Campion for williamson .

Brown for Lines .

Looking forwards too this game as it as all the makings of a terrific contest.

Daniel deserves be in the team aswell but unless he can play left back then there aint really anywhere i can put him unless we go 3 at the back.

Neal

Yates Robbo Veseli Dicko or Daniel

Moore Brown Oconnor Marshall

Campion Mcguessan

That team has enough about them do summat i feel.

But knowing Page it will.be the usual suspects.

Just hope we get in.there faces and dont let them.have a inch of space too hurt us badly .

 

You do know Dany's not Scottish don't you? ;)

[Inny]

Neal

 

Yates. Robertson. Veseli. Dicko

 

Brown

 

Lines. O'Conner

 

Marshall. N'Guessan. Daniel.

[cheshirevaliant]

Neal

 

Yates. Robertson. Veseli. Dicko

 

Brown

 

Lines. O'Conner

 

Marshall. N'Guessan. Daniel.

 

I think that would be my team as well. I'm pleased for Daniel if he does start. I thought he was a bit of a donkey when he first came, but he has been impressive the last couple of times I've seen him. He deserves a chance over 90 minutes.

[Howjy04]

Neal

 

Yates. Robertson. Veseli. Dicko

 

Brown

 

Lines. O'Conner

 

Marshall. N'Guessan. Daniel.

 

I'd go with that lineup.Didnt Robbo and Freddie partner each other in the reserves last game? Deffo Brown to protect.

[Jinkin John Jeffers]

Would love Robertson or Veseli to step up to keep Duffy out of the side, for me he is the weak link, does alot of shouting and pointing and seems to panic himself and the back 4.
