Port Vale 3 Chesterfield 2, post match comments

[stennerlad]

My missus and 8 of her friends, all Chesterfield fans, came today ..... funny that they didn't want to go to the Kismet for a curry this year! Thank you Rob and the team, great result!

I'm wondering what the next excuse will be from Vale "fans" for not attending, after today's pathetic attendance.

 

This was a reasonably-attractive fixture and we were on the back of 3 wins and a draw in the last 4.

 

What was today's excuse - too cold? Snow on the pitch? Too tired after watching the Maidenhead game on Thursday on TV?

 

If we manage to beat Exeter and pull Man United away we'll have no end of "fans" wanting a ticket.

Hi all,

 

I don't often post on here any more but I'd thought I'd just make it known how happy I am with today's result and the last week. We seem to have found a little bit of grit and consistency. I can't believe we pulled that out of the bag after playing Thursday, I thought it was a nailed on loss. Very happy with Page the lads and the support team this weekend... Very professional. Long may it continue.

I thought the Vale would lose to Chesterfield, seeing how they had played at Maidenhead.

A very good result, pity they did'nt get a clean sheet.

we need the same performance against Blackpool, now they've got their confidence back.

disagree Valiant, he is a poor man Bogie matey.

 

ah i guess thats why clubs like Hull have made bids for him then,

One thing I dont understand is that we played like an away side today, countering excellently as they had the majority of possession, yet when we actually play away from home we dont do this. Surely a set up like today would work when playing away.

Lads done good. Earle Sperm quiet. Up the Vale!

Just seen the highlights. Should Yates have cut out the pass that set up their second?

Decent game in tricky conditions.Some good goals,well done Sam Kelly,Ajay ,aka goal machine ,and Doddsy.MOM for me was Ryan McGivern.

 

I felt Ant Grant just edged MOM, in front of McGivern who, with Duffy, was very solid at the back. Don't be petty by saying his header to their player led to a goal - you have a split-second to decide where to put the ball for the best, and a player running in often isn't seen until too late. Good all-round performance, and, even went it went to 3-2 I never felt we would drop points! Good value for the win, as we had more of the game than them, on a tricky surface. Didn't think too much of Morsy - glad Dan Jones had a stinker! UTV

For those on about the pitch being covered. I honestly don't think the pitch is ever covered when Snow is forcast, as they leave the Snow cover on as late as possible to provide insulation and prevent Frost.

What has happened to AJ? Scored 4 goals in 3 games. We knew it would come for him. Maybe he could be the goalscorer we need. Well done to Sam Kelly on getting his first senior goal in professional football and set up AJ's goal.

 

I wonder if Crewe are regretting letting Grant and AJ go now..... Grant looks like our best signing of the summer.

 

On wards and Upwards. Come on Vale :)!!

Still pinching myself after the last few days! Just hope we can for once keep the momentum going , and turn up for every game.

I have a season ticket but I was working, was meant to give it to a family member but forgot, I hope that is a good enough reason

Attendance well considering the weather which was horrible and cold was average but u can understand why folk didn't come I had two pairs of socks on and I was freezing .

We don't have the support unfortunately but two impressive home wins v Shrewsbury and Chesterfield and some cracking goals especially from dodds u would think we could attract more .

It's so important that Vale progress in the cup and beat a team they ain't meant to beat that's the key to new support unfortunately we have to many part time supporters like meself .

Good win. We are a better more balanced side with oconnor out of the side. If page can prove me wrong I'm more than happy to eat my words. Long may it continue
