Doncaster R 1 Port Vale 2, post match comments

[The Kalamazoo Kid]

Smith on radio Stoke on about Stoke deserved to win it. How so when the 'goal' they scored was offside, had it been rightly chalked off it may have been a completely different game.

 

Denis Smith is just a massive cheerleader for them, the most biased g1t you could get to do punditry - so typical for that joke of a radio station.

 

The Sun on Sunday asked an ex-player of each Premier club who they should sign in the transfer window and he was their's - his response was something like 'we don't need to sign anyone as the goalkeeper is fantastic (give him that one), the defence is great, midfield is wonderful and the forward options are superb.'

Just seen the goals on sky sports news well taken A J L-S did dodds get sent off or bid he stay in the dressing room second half not mentioned once on radio stoke second half

[Santa]

We're five points better off than we were after the same number of games last season (after losing 2-1 at Barnsley last January).

[Bea Smith]

Great result, but makes Saturday even more annoying now. Only the Vale....!!

 

Vale would be in 6th place if they had beaten Millwall. That's how close we are to being a top team, the chance is still there, keep the faith.

[Bea Smith]

Great win away from home should shut the moaners up for a few days.

 

A few hours would be a start..... :)

 

Nice win though, and completely deserved.

[ELDERBEZZA]

Great win away from home should shut the moaners up for a few days.

 

Didn't take long as Dodds getting it tonight;)

[The Kalamazoo Kid]

Icing on the cake - Stoke just go out on sudden death penos at Liverpool. Tops a great evening :)

 

A great night indeed!

 

And the stripey ****** defeat probably means that our home game with Southend will now be moved to Friday 26th Feb*, as they will now be playing their scheduled Prem game at home to Villa on the Saturday, rather than being in the League Cup final on the Sunday! :rolleyes:

 

* can't see our game being switched to the Sunday as we're away to Oldham on the Tuesday.

Well done Vale chuffed with the win and two goals for AJLS super

[Spunk Trumpet]

AJLS has really stepped up.

From looking like a conference footballer at best, the lad has taken the bull by the horns, so to speak.

However, its only him scoring. IF we can add an extra dimension up top we could have an exciting end to the season.

Two away wins in a month after three in eight months!

Any kind of result on Saturday will be more than welcome.

[Regal Beagle]

Both goals included JJ from what I could see. Looks really promising, although I know it's really early yet.

Good performance from the lads tonight. I thought in particular we looked really strong at the back- the entire back 5 were all excellent. Their goal was an utter fluke so not too concerned about that. Also some promising signs of a partnership building between Ajay and JJ- both played well individually and put in a good shift while they linked up well on a number of occasions. On paper its an ideal partnership- 1 big strong and decent in the air, the other quick and intelligent.

 

Kennedy started well but faded in the second half but he certainly looks a promising addition who i'm looking forward to seeing more from. Also good to see Inniss back in a Vale shirt, albeit only for a minute or so.

 

Cracking evening all round, apart from a couple of prats who seemed to put all their energy into slagging off Louis Dodds from minute 1. Yes he was poor tonight but surely by 8 years we know what we get with Dodds, he has these games, particularly when played out wide. Yes, we all have a moan at players from time to time but the criticism started in the first minute (before he'd even touched the ball) and never let up and quite frankly it ****ed me right off.

 

Anyway moan over, well done lads and lets hope we can keep it up at Wigan who (if rumour is to be believed) might have a certain Sammy Morsy in their squad by Saturday.

When was the last time Vale won in 2 consecutive games away from home??

 

when noah was making the ark:razz:

[bookworm]

a very good result, similar on Saturday and i'll be well pleased.

[valefan16]

40 points up so set up nicely if we can get the four wins to guarantee safety swiftly and push on from there. We can win at Wigan with the right attitude although a point would set us up nicely for three home ties!

[Spunk Trumpet]

When was the last time Vale won in 2 consecutive games away from home??

 

Barnsley and Maidenhead in November.

League victories...... We did 3! Walsall. Notts county. Coventry. February/March.

Yeovil. Fleetwood. Blackpool and tonight are the other 4 seperate away wins in the last 12 months.
