Sat 3rd Oct 2015, Port Vale v Sheffield Utd, pre-match comments, the match itself

[Fosse69]

Will the team that played Wigan please turn up, after some corner practice. We need a win to start the month off, here's hoping.

You are spot on about set pieces but dont think we have anybody who can head the ball since the departure of the Pope.

[Michael]

If we can beat Utd then I suppose it's 7 points from the last 9 which is ok, obviously we have to take it for granted they are gonna score from a corner so we'll need get at least 2.......

if we play with the pace , attitude and apathy of last night we will get battered no mistake , and with the blunts bringing as many fans as home fans it will be a right flashback to the 80s!!!! Need to be up for this , cos they will.

Was it in the 90s that Dean Glover was sent off, I seem to remember some hard fought games, Bertie Bassett era.

Love these kind of games ,decent away following over 1k i should imagine .

Team id pick i aint the foggiest as when i go with someone who turns up one game they dont turn up another.

Inconsistent is what Vale r .

Uche has played himself back in .

Soft goals r a no no stop giving teams a leg up Vale.

[Tenement Funster]

For the first time as a fan with an opinion on team selection I haven't the foggiest what I'd go with for Saturday as a there's a few names on the teamsheet that I feel I'd be putting in there for the hell of it. Maybe.......

 

..................................Alnwick.................................

 

Purkiss..............Streete.............Duffy..............Dicko

 

Dodds................Grant.............Foley................Andoh

 

.........................Daniel..............Uche......................

 

 

Moore has been very poor the last few games and although I hate to see Dodds on the wing Foley really struggled to cope with the midfield on his own seeing as Grant plays very deep. Up top I thought Daniel and Uche looked ok together in fits and starts and at least we'd have a presence up front.

If o connor was fit i would start:

 

.............................. ....Alnwick................... ..............

 

Purkiss..............Streete.. ...........Duffy.............. Dicko

 

Moore................Grant.... .........O Connor............. Foley

 

........................Andoh..............Uche........... ...........

[valiant_593]

Alnwick

 

Purkiss

Streete

Duffy

Dicko

 

Oconnor

Grant

 

Andoh

Dodds

Foley

 

Uche

 

Thats if Occonor is fit. If not then Foley into the middle and Daniel on the wing; or brown in for oconnor.

Should get decent gate with all these free vale tickets from mccoys crisps..

[Guppy 4 England]

The same tickets some scrotes were selling outside the ground ?

[colin]

Dodds for Ajay, Uche for Daniel

Probably. It's a great thing for those who can't afford, but I find it pretty disgusting if there being sold on.

[jjvale_03]

Blades have sold 1500 so far.

 

Would expect 3000 away fans on Saturday.

That was the 94/95 season. Violent conduct in an off the ball scuffle with Nathan Blake (I think) which led to us conceding a pen.
