Matchday Thread : Port Vale v Swindon Town

[Fosse69]

The Great Escape: After an encouraging performance at Southend will Swindon be a bigger step to safety? Injuries will still play a part, but has any player forced his way in?

[Conrad]

I don't think it's a question of has any player forced his way in, with the injuries picked up yesterday it could be a question of who's fit.

Maybe a bit unfair on Turner to expect him to lead the line up front, but I think he deserves a longer stint on the pitch as Hooper and Forrester hav'nt exactly pulled up any trees, and Turner has looked dangerous when he's come on.

He had a decent chance yesterday just after coming on which needed some last ditch defending.

Turner and Forrester maybe with hooper on the bench.

I explained by thoughts on Hooper and Forrester in the Southend thread. They haven't pulled up any trees but it's the formation that hinders them (albeit making us more solid as a side). Turner is nowhere near ready to be starting games, nor are Reeves or Gibbons. Brown needs to hope a few injuries clear up because we desperately need Reggie and Amoros back if not. Also to have a little faith in Tavares may have helped yesterday as Reeves did ok but we lost shape as Foley tried to help the kid out by sitting deeper.

Our biggest game of the season so far. Anything but a win will sink us further towards relegation yet a win will take us above Swindon and looking a lot healthier. Let's hope for a good crowd to get behind the Vale.

Biggest games of there lives .

Lose well relegation is a defo .

Win well i believe it will get us on a run of consecutive wins .

Lets hope the players who r injured make it .

Last three home games we deserved better i saw that Vale were better than Peterboro who mugged us ,Bristol Rovers a worldie saving them and Bradford where all the fans applauded the performance of the players .

So i think we will get better luck as away we have drew with Gillingham who we were miles better than ,yesterday where by the stats we played well and deserving of a point maybe even 3 if guy had won that header which put us in trouble down the left.

So whoever the team is im looking forwards to it

Just one thing when is Regino Cecelia back ?

Massive game. Both sides are poor, so it's going to be about who wants it more/has the most fight. Let's hope Brown can get them fired up.

Really don't see Northampton in the equation, they are 8 points ahead of us.

For me and i'll probably be wrong it is 2 from ourselves, Swindon, Oldham, Bury.

Thought Gills were in huge trouble before they won at Bury.

Northampton could very easily get dragged in to it, especially if they have a couple of dodgy results and then we go and beat them too.

[valeblue]

we will not beat Northampton at their place , can only see one away win , that being Cov but now they've chucked their manager that's looking more unlikely ! Home wins are essential , lose or draw Saturday we down !!!!!

All ifs and buts, 8 points is a handy cushion , if you fancy a flutter Northampton are 16/ 1 to be relegated.

Vale are 8 /15 .
