Tues 3rd March 2015, Port Vale v Oldham A, pre-match, the match itself

[Fosse69]

The dream runs on, and 18 pts are at stake in March. 9 pts will ensure safety with 54 points in a tight league. More than 9 points will probably mean beating the likes of Sheffield U or Swindon, then we will be in the limelight. But one game at a time, can we keep a clean sheet on Tuesday? Oldham are in a mess at present, and football is a funny old game, but surely 3 points are there for the taking.

Hoping so, they have lost the last 3 league games without scoring......... Looking on their fans forum last night, they had as many as 7 first team players out for the Preston game yesterday and are certainly down to the bare bones........

Looking forward to this one, the players are all playing as a solid unit at the moment and long may it last. There will be a few teams from either end of the league who will not be eager to face us if we keep this kind of form.

Let's hope this one isn't a banana skin. Has the potential not only for 3 pts, but also to assist a little with the goal difference in a comprehensive home win.

Potentially a decent crowd expectedly, hope springs eternal, playing a team we should beat. It is times like this the Vale bomb. I hope not but it happens too many times.

Surely we will concede in this one? 4 clean sheets in a row is unheard of for us!

 

I'll go 3-1 vale, pope, O'connor and Williamson.

The game tonight is meaningless unless Twitters is there to see it.

Seriously, I haven't felt this nervous before a game since the Burton romp. I hope that's a good omen:nailbiting:

Don't let's get carried away, Oldham will be stung after their heavy defeat on Saturday and i suspect a few changes in their line-up could give them a fresh impetus?

See post #1. They're on the ragged edge

[bar1]

anything over than a defeat will do me, keep some momentum going

 

think we may just sneak this 1-0, 2-1

September 2010, we won 5 on the spin in the league.Add a JPT win in August ,making 6.I only fear the worst when we have 2 home games in the same week.3-0 tonight.

If we turn up we will win and win well on current form but this is Vale and nothing is ever that simple!
