Matchday Thread: Bolton Wanderers v Port Vale

[Fosse69]

Please post on this thread your pre-match, match, and post match comments.

 

Amidst all the signing and management meeting speculation, surely the priority is an investigation into the personalities of the team. Please can we have Hyde playing in the first half instead of Jekyll.

 

Difficult game coming up, however football is full of shocks and surprises, which gives us pain and joy so how about a 3-3 draw?

Bury V Bolton on Monday night.Can this game work to our advantage as Vale don't have a game?

Maybe, but would it be even better if we were playing them on Tuesday?

I wont pay money out to watch us play anywhere away at the moment as were garbage away and im expecting that to continue next week. Plus 26 quid is a rip off.

Can't see us getting anything, but will enjoy the day out esp in Manchester on the train SVA!!

hope we go 4-4-2 and play more direct we need to try something different away

No chance of that away if we don't do it at home!

4-5-1 away under Rudgie worked at the time,we know he wont go 4-4-2 away from home and his favoured system isn't working

Well im sure this game will be well attended by the Vale following so hopefully we r at it all 90 as usually when we take over 1k away support Bury Wigan we fold like a pack of cards .

My daughters birthday so i aint going but the lads i usually go on awaydays ( very few as its a waste of money ,good days though)r going so i hope we manage a draw at least for them although they will be to drunk care .

id go with after that defensive horror show again .

A strange formation but the energy levels of thomas and Mbamba up the field v Oxford and positivity once receiving the ball were two of the main reasons for the excellent comeback on sat .

Utv Hart is no left back play him there expect get hammered and Mcintosh is no right back although v Charlton he wasnt to bad but on sat he ruined that theory .

Purkiss and Knopps reinstated id go with Taylor has the ability to play anywhere so a midfield role for him .

We can carry no passengers for this game or any other but lately 5/11 r not at it for the whole 90 and they need be or else.

Is it all ticket or pay on the day?

I'd love to see a boycott by Vale fans for this £26.00 outrage.

Important Train Info:

 

If you're going by train you will need to go via Victoria station.

 

Due to engineering works around Eccles there are no direct trains from Manchester Piccadilly (and therefore from Oxford Road or Deansgate) to Horwich Parkway this Saturday.

 

The lines that serve Horwich (the Blackpool & Barrow trains) are all going from Victoria instead. You need to either hop across town or look at a connecting train from Piccadilly.

Just been get my tickets. About 400 tickets we sold for this game so far. Was expecting double that tbh so far.

Think its all ticket.

Im happy to play 1 up front but we need to be compact and hit them on the break. Pace very much needed.

Hope Forrester is back fit soon because think we could do with him to lead the line. Hope he will be involved in a few up coming reserve games.
