Matchday Thread: Port Vale v Bolton Wanderers

[Fosse69]

Can Turner become a man and turn our season around? Or will it be so near and yet so far? Although 4 successive defeats create a pessimistic mood, things are still tight for the 2 last drop places. We are not the only ones struggling and my heart says there is still a chance and the bounce of the ball can make all the difference. Will Brown finally get the formation right, it is a tough order, but time is running out and the team and fans will have to dig deep.

My team:-

 

Mehmet

Smith-Streete-Bikey

Taylor-Pugh-Reeves-Foley-Kiko (only if Tanser not fit)

Eagles-Turner

 

My guess is we'll continue to see 4-4-1-1 with Hooper out wide.

[Keyvale]

Brown will put the same team out I will be very surprised if he changes anything. Bolton are fighting to go up therefore I can only see a victory for Bolton. 2-0 or a 3-0 win for them. We're going down no doubt about it lads and lasses

I don't think ive ever seen Vale beat Bolton, though we not played them for 17 years. And this game will be trouble galore.

There's two reasons why we'll lose this match - i) we sold our outstanding goalkeeper in January and replaced him with a Falkirk reserve ii) We've failed to score in 5 of our last 6 matches. Can't score, can't keep a clean sheet.

Could really do with Bolton to beat Bury tonight, they'll be doing us a favour and also put themselves 4 points clear of 3rd placed Fleetwood, with 2 to go.

Bury could send us down tonight with a win at Bolton. Well not mathematically, but Bury are the only team i think we can catch now, and that's a tough ask tbh.

Very unlikely to happen. Even more unlikely than us winning away again I'd say.

Who thought Swindon would win away at Fleetwood a couple of weeks ago. Everyone can win away, except for the Vale.

[Heatwave]

I can supply the first part of the scoreline now: Port Vale 0.

There is always hope... bob and no spring to mind... I fear we will get a drubbing and will have to rely on other teams to save us because we dont have the ability to do it ourselves... F'n sad really

Summary of game. Port Vale 0 - Bolton - 4. Played one up front and he had little service from anyone wearing a vale shirt. Memhet kicked the ball out of touch numerous times and let a goal in when he should have caught it. Defence and Midfield blame each other for allowing Bolton players to walk through the ranks and score. 2 goals from set pieces (corner and a free kick).

 

1 attack and the ball went out for a throw in from that attack.

 

Same side and tactics.

 

Fans sang their hearts out and supported the players. Players showed signs of trying, but quickly gave up when they scored.

 

Brown given a red card by the Ref for abusing the 4th official.

 

Highlight of the game. Ball kicked out of the ground by a Vale attack from 40 yards out and a lad passing got a free ball to play footy with.

 

Please, please, please Vale players prove me wrong and many others thinking the same thing.

[For Us All]

Bolton have conceded the least number of goals in League One this season and Vale are fourth worst goalscorers so I'll go 1-0 to the Valiants.😁

[Andy Proctor]

2 nil bolton i reckon. We wont score unless they kick one in the net for us.

[beasty77]

Bolton sold just over 3700 tickets up to now.
