Thur 19th Nov 2015, Maidenhead v Port Vale, pre-match comments, the match itself

[Fosse69]

Totally disagree!

 

Vale need the cash injection a FA Cup run can give especially as we have a real chance of getting to the 3rd rounds now in playing the non leaguers and Exeter. With the revenue of the wins/TV appearances surely RP will spend it wisely in getting a much needed goalscorer to complement the squad?

 

Why drop some of our better players because we have a game on the Saturday in the League(where we are comfortable at this stage of the season)?

 

Priority for me is the FA Cup at the moment. If Vale go to Maidenhead with the attitude they can "rest" several 1st Teamers then we will get beat!

very true, settle for a point on Sat

[Bucknall Rob]

Team for me if everyone was fit;

 

Neal

 

Purkiss

Duffy

Streete

Dickinson

 

Moore

O'Connor

Grant

Foley

 

AJ

JJ

 

I really don't think there is much between the 2 goalkeepers, Jak made a couple of great saves yesterday but looked nervy on a lot of crosses into the box.

 

It is definitely time to give JJ a game, he can't be any worse than Uche's performances in recent weeks.

Doubt we will - lots of games coming up over the next couple of weeks (a few at home and a close trip to Rochdale). Once they put it on TV, a Thursday night trip to Berkshire didn't seem so appealing!

[Jesse James]

Can anyone tell me if its on at anywhere other than Tommy's & is it confirmed that it is on at Tommy's

[markpvfc]

It was Smurf who said it would be on at Tommies so I'd assume thats correct.

[Jesse James]

you would have thought that they would advertise the showing would you not?

[smithie]

So they bought more than their average attendance to Vale Park, but we can't take 10% of ours to their place.

[Rampant Zebra]

I think the coach is full now! So we are taking at least 55 (?)

I see Dartford have agreed to postpone this Saturday's game at Maidenhead because they are playing on Thursday. Chesterfield take note!

Come on,really?It's the Vale!!!!!

Yes it is on at Tommies, I asked Racco (the owner) at the sc meeting, no tickets needed , just turn up.

I don't blame Chesterfield for not wanting to play Sunday, Page came out himself and said if it was the other way around, he would not have played on the Sunday.

Maidenhead aren't playing on the Sunday - the game has been postponed to a later date.
