Matchday Thread: Crawley Town v Port Vale

[Fosse69]

1-0 to the Vale, keep it tight lads.

[Birches Head Fred]

No prediction from me.....to early to tell and it's a bit of a lottery first game but hopefully a good start and more importantly a sign of things to come.

I fancy us for a draw today, I don't expect us to be trying to play free flowing football but I think we'll see a surprise in his team selection today as well.

[mikey]

Will be happy with a draw, but I think this is winnable. How good would it be to get an opening day away victory after lasts seasons dismal away record?

[vale@rocks]

Desperate to see Michael Brown and the Vale get a good start. Three points to the lads. Come on Vale put last seasons ghosts behind us.

[Andy06]

Will be a close one I reckon maybe a 2-1 win

4-5-1? Have we played that once in pre season?

Might work with Tonge and Pugh in that system with ADF pushing on. Maybe a way to go away from home to keep us more solid I guess.

 

Monty fit is a boost!

Daffy in the number 10 role with the two oaps holding?

 

Odd that Pyke scores all those goals and then gets dropped.

 

Good to see Forrester back.

So brown all season has said he want some to play two up top and reverts to one immediately? Strange but looks fair solid away from home. Really don't think both Pugh and and tongue should be on.

More like 4-3-3 when we have the ball.

Glad to see ADF starting think hes had a great preseason. Is Montano injured or was it all a bluff to throw them off the game plan?

 

I don't hate the formation, do wonder about the creativity in the middle but fingers crossed we can grab an early 3 points away.

For those of you using iFollow.

 

We will take the live match right out of the arena that includes all of the ambient sound noise – so you hear the cheering and all of the background sounds – and virtually the league will have their commentary in a central location so the stream goes through a virtual announcer workstation where the guy is basically watching the game streamed across his computer with a headset and a microphone. There, they call the game and provide commentary and the audio then gets overlaid and mixed with the video stream, which is then pushed out over the network to a fan watching it on a PC, mobile or tablet.

 

Apparently the video stream goes live at 2:30.

 

I have a season pass from last season that is active until December so I should be able to see the commentary stuff but I can't get in. Anyone else having problems?

 

Emailed them. Seems like they've very predictably ballsed up the transition from Valiant Player to iFollow if accounts are not being ported across with the correct access rights.

 

Who's going to be brave enough to sign up for the video package in the UK and find out if works with a VPN or not? I can't see why it wouldn't, the EFL don't have the knowledge or the funding to blanket ban VPN provider IP and DNS settings, but £110 on a non-cert is still a gamble...
