Sun 3rd May 2015, Port Vale v Fleetwood T, pre-match, the match itself.

Safety at last, now we can see what we have on the sidelines. Will we make it 5 games unbeaten?

 

Time for something different make the staff and squad do a public apology for a rubbish season via a large white banner carried round the pitch saying Sorry we were *********

[Yardley Valiant]

It may have been mentioned already but are there any pubs opening early before the match?

[valeparklife]

I'd like to see Andoh and Deen-Contah start on Sunday. It's a no pressure game so a great chance to see how they cope. They have both been signed on 2/3 year deals so they should be knocking on the first team door soon enough? I'd also like to see Johnny Kapend on the bench too.

[Rampant Zebra]

I don't think Deen Conteh is ready. Is it a good idea to put him in now and risk him having a poor game with no chance to play again this season to regain confidence?

[fairportnick]

Above all else I expect Page will want to finish with a win and expect him to start with what he considers his strongest eleven.

 

If we get a decent lead going into the last 20 minutes we may get a couple of 'possibles' given a run out.

 

On a different topic who remembers the pre seasons where the match was 'Probables' v 'Possibles'

 

When I started it was first team v Reserves. In those days the first team was almost cast in stone and you had a reserve for every position.

This is extremely important for us exiles- the thought of watching the vale without the aid of a couple of pints is quite scary. Can anyone supply an answer?

They'll soon have their confidence shattered when the Vale Park haters get on their backs!!

[Robbie Earle's Perm]

This is one of the reasons for me only a couple of them should get 20 minutes or so if we are 2-0 up.

[keeled56]

Agreed REP.

I have been told that there is one opening at 9 for breakfast. A Bulls regular thinks that they will be open but cant say definitely

[fairportnick]

I have just been messaged by said Bulls Head regular that their breakfast Barbie starts at 9 AM

Brilliant news you have made my day! Many thanks

Absolute no brainer, if Vale kicked off at 4 in the morning Bob would open up 3 hours before and away fans would still be welcome.

[Bucknall Rob]

If the youngsters don't get a start in this game then something is wrong. The result does not matter, why don't we give younger players a chance.

 

Can the left back really perform as bad as Dicko has in some of the games, surely the young striker can't miss as many chances as Ben.

 

I am not saying playing 11 youth players, just give a couple a game from the start for a match.

[fuzzyvalefan]

Its a low pressure end of season game so no reason why a few cant be given a chance. Also an opportunity to see Coulibaly given a start. Cant imagine he will get a sniff at Bournemouth in the top flight next season so may well be a summer target.

 

I would go for:

 

Johnson

 

Vesseli Collins Duffy Deen-Conteh

 

 

Andoh O'Connor Brown Coulibaly

 

 

Pope Kapend
