Sat 14th Feb 2015, Walsall v Port Vale, pre-match, the match itself

[Fosse69]

Prefer the points rather than a Valentine from our old rivals, who have never been very generous over the years. Clean sheets are not my priority, although an Iron Curtain fan, quite happy if we at least match the Saddlers for goals, even better if we exceed them. Now is the time to dig in.

how much are they??

[Fosse69]

Will the local lads, Moore and Yates, be on at Walsall?

Ive been shouting for Moore to be included for weeks, so hope he finally gets his chance.

 

I think Yates should come back in to - the defence has hardly flattered since he was dropped.

 

Hoping for at least a draw...but think we may lose this by the odd goal :S

For me its an any result game, Walsall can beat or lose to anyone on their day. If we could not concede the first goal for once would help. This side performs we get a result.

...Does anyone think that Page will bring Williamson back in? Apparently he is fit and available again... will the manager revert to his pre-Pope return attack - i.e. Ben on his todd !?!

Either £22 or£23, can't remember which.

I think he will play Ben for his pace probably at the expense of Campion. He does get behind defenses and works well with Popey but unfortunately he needs four chances to take one. I also suspect he will play the Palace lad, bring back Yates and McGivern and drop Robo, Duffy and Dicko.

Whoever plays needs to perform and give 100%. I don't think we've put in a decent performance since Sheff Utd on Boxing Day.

I predict no clean sheet.

I get a hunch that you may be wrong. Moore should start with also a strengthened defence.

 

Wasall 0 Vale 2.

I've not felt so optimistic for a while now.

Send me some of 'happy pills' please! I'm travelling to Walsall more in hope than expectation--so I prefer your optimistic outlook!

Bet 365 = 7/2 for a Vale win. Mmm might get better odds somewhere. Worth a punt?

[soothsayer]

Just been up the ticket office and they have no tickets for tomorrow left - all 500 gone! Pay on the day is now the only option and is £2 more.

[beasty77]

Went get 5 tickets earlier on. Looking forward to this now. Will be in Weatherspoon's in Walsall for 11.00..Should be about 1k Vale there id imagine.

3-1 Vale is 40/1 with William Hill, defo worth a couple of quid..SVA

Can anyone suggest anywhere for a pints before the game?
