Port Vale 3 Wigan Athletic 2 - Post Match Comments

[Guppy 4 England]

Well that was a bit weird.

 

For 65mins we dominated, we then went 2 up and fell apart. I think fatigue kicked in and we desperately needed a sub, it didn't come and the equaliser did.

 

We then got a well earned win in the end , but no thanks to lack of changes. Page seems very indecisive at the minute.

 

Points to pick out. Andoh will have learned a lot today, he was kicked off the park and looked very lightweight, probably his worst game for us, but still ended up getting their man sent off. Streete was a liability and we should have got inniss on to shore us up. Foley , Moore and andoh were shattered at 70mins .

 

Whoever kicked Anthony grant in the head deserves man of the match , he was rubbish until 15mins in, wayward passes, poor touch and bad tackles. After that he was immense, chased every ball, very physical and didn't misplace a pass, thank you Wigan for giving him a nudge !

Uche deserved the winner, worked his conkers off.

 

Overall , great result, but it would have felt like losing if we drew.roll on Tuesday.

This is a thread about a great game of football.

You just can't beat that feeling of that 3rd goal going in! Flamin brilliant! Loved it, shutting their lot up as well just when they thought they were going to nick the win.

Great performance, great support, bring on Millwall. Get down there Tuesday, the Vale are looking good

[Bert Llewellyn]

Grant and Dodds were immense, great performance all round. I travelled over with a Wigan fan and he readily conceded that we were the better team and were well worth the points and - as a bonus - played some very good football.

Two good sides, attempting to play entertaining, productive football with a result that i found very pleasing although Wigan supporters must be sick, having fought back to two all and then to lose in the last minute of proper time. Great spirit and team work shown by all but Grant was outstanding, Duffy covered in defence time and time again, but when he was beaten, maybe fouled, no-one covered him. Other points to look at: Alnwick has done well but needs to command his area and talk to his defence. Dodds had to do too much work in mid field. Streete did well but lacks Inniss's strength and presence. The referee controlled the game well and let it flow when possible. He got all the major decisions right, particularly the sending off, except possibly Wigan's first goal.

Just stating an opinion but I disagree big time regarding Dodds and even more big time about the referee - he was garbage!

[TeenValiant]

I think regarding Innis and Streete, it should be based on who we're playing against. Innis is stronger, Streete is quicker. If the other team has a massive centre forward (like their #10) play Innis, if they are playing someone fast, Streete

Was only replying to someone's question!

[timvalefan]

I've never been a fan of Dodds, I've always had him as the 1st name on the release sheet at the end of every season. This season it has shown Adams never played him in his best position. He is now like a brand new signing. I gladly eat a large slice of humble pie. It seems the position he is now playing in, is taylor made for him and Vale. Long may it continue.:eating:

[ginge]

They'll be back for any big FA games or a JPT final, just like they came out of the woodwork for the WBA game.

The only decision the ref got right was the sending off. Am just glad we still won cos all too often when we have poor officials we have lost

[24November92]

Grant was brilliant from the first minute. I think Streete had a decent game but agree Inniss should be in the team for Tuesday. I actually thought Uche looked shattered at 65 minutes but what do I know?

[Magicman]

Some people just really can't afford, they pick a few games a season home or away they'll attend, and understandably they'll prefer big games

 

But there is always glory hunters with every club, that won't change, and then there is downright miserable people

I am one of these. I would love to attend every match but finances won't allow me too. Am glad I chose today's game though

[smithie]

Unfortunately, I think people may be saving their pennies for Bury away. Rubbish, I know...

 

Did anyone who went notice anything to do with the Refugees Welcome thing?

 

I think we should have a Decent Refurees Welcome event.
