Port Vale 4 : 1 Rochdale - Post Match Comments

[Inny]

Two out and out strikers with Foley making forward runs just kept creating more and more chances.

 

Theo proved me wrong today. I was expecting another toothless performance but he was excellent! Lets see how they both do for the remaining two games.

[JRC]

Agree he certainly does, Theo looked the part capped with a great goal credit where its due he had a very good game.

 

If Robinson puts in 2 more performances like today Page will have a difficult decision to make over contracts. I think there is a decent player in there, but he looked devoid of confidence and fitness in January. He has been a decent player at Championship level in the past and I think he's probably a player whose taken his eye off what's important and also his agent has been a bit of a distraction.

Excellent win for Vale, what might have been with an additional striker and/or the run of the ball on the odd occasion.

great performance from the team. robinson and hooper were superb they could have had a hat full Rochdale couldn't deal with them at all. foley was fanstastic covered every blade of grass.do have to say Andrew probably scored goal of the day but take nothing away from another good home performance get those season tickets purchased asap.

Cracking entertaiment.Get them tickets renewed :-)

 

Could not agree more

As per most of our home games this season, it was an excellent performance where we controlled large parts of the game from start to finish.

The excellent performances far outweigh the indifferent /poor ones and as Vale fans and supporters we need to realise this and get behind them by purchasing ST's for next season. Nucleus is there, a bit of trimming from the bottom and replacing with quality at he top and we stand a real chance of play-offs or better next season.

Well done Rob Page. Doing a great job.

Well done vale that was like the start of the season matches, 3 5 2 looks good, and the four forwards can play that system ( i'e Dodds & Aj / Hooper & Robinson).

[mad4vale]

Really good performance today the front two linked up great Duffy was outstanding at the back streete getting better ever game

[hamilboy]

Well done vale first home match missed down cornwall on holiday hope we play with 2 up top at home next season

[Fosse69]

Great to watch, 14 shots on target tells its own story, it now up to JJ & Theo to build up a partnership, the learner and the experience to blend in?

[Howjy04]

Cracking win.JJ hit the target with practically every shot he had.Robo looked a different player than previous.Excellent performance.

[Class personified]

Best performance of the season. Foley superb a fantastic engine. Pirlo Purkiss showed brilliant energy as a wingback. Hooper is coming along nicely. It is all starting to take shape but is it all going to scuppered by the Smurf cut backs?

Difficult to choose a man of the match today as they all performed well in an entertaining game, particularly in the second half. The second penalty was a bit soft but the defender definitely pushed Streets but why I'm not sure. Can't believe that I've seen Theo and Calvin both score great goals in the same game. Shame again about the attendance considering Norman's £10 special offer.

[For Us All]

Excellent game in which Rochdale played their part.I must admit that my head dropped when I heard that Theo was playing but I was glad to be proved wrong,his partnership with JJ was outstanding.

We are going in the right direction.

As I've mentioned elsewhere, shifting ST's surely has to be a priority. Alas the marketing of them has been virtually non-existent.

 

If the budget is largely dictated by Season Ticket sales, it makes it almost scandalous how neglected the marketing of them has been.

 

Anyway.....brilliant performance today and I came away both miffed that we haven't got another 3 points to keep us in the hunt but massively optimistic for next season (if we can keep that group together).
