Matchday Thread: Port Vale v Grimsby Town

[Fosse69]

Oh! To be in Burslem as the dawn of a new era breaks. Keep the winning team to build confidence? Maybe the odd change but nothing drastic unless we have already been assessed. Onwards and upwards UTV.

I have no idea what kind of formation Aspin has played in his managerial career. So does he stick with 5 at the back and then look at the team properly next week? Does he take any notice of whatever Adams was doing for Smurf? Will there will be some changes from last night? Of last nights side arguably the back 5 did themselves no harm in particular with their performances, although I could see Denton coming in for Yates on Saturday.

A reporter covering the Newcastle game, stated that whilst at Gateshead Aspin preferred 442 but would sometimes switch to 352...

[Heatwave]

I suppose all bets are off until Aspo has read the report Micky wrote on the team and he's seen them in training. I would imagine the first we'll hear about formation is when they line up on Saturday.

I just hope Grimsby don't spoil the party.

Just spoke to my Grimsby mate who I am going to the game with, he thinks they wont. A draw looks fav to me.

I don't think we are that far of winning some games, if he and his team can instil some belief into the players and supporter, together we can move to a safer position in the league. Let's keep the expectations level down and all aim for steady progress over the next few years, together we can achieve our aims. U.T.V.

Good cod! I hope not.

1-1 as I don't think Aspo can polish this turd so quickly .

I know he will have effort and passion as a given. Grimsby aren't that good. Mid table outfit .

4 points from next 2 games will be a nice start

[connor hackett]

Amazing how much a change of atmosphere can effect players. I’m expecting us to look a totally different outfit. 3-0 win

You are 100% correct Connor.

Reason I advise us not get ahead of ourselves is Chesterfield 0 yeovil 2

Jack Lester ex legend given a heroes reception followed by 90 minutes of the usual turd.

We are bereft of confidence , quality and effort.

Aspin will address the latter the other two will not happen overnight.

However I am more than optimistic we will steadily claw up the table.

3-0 would be fairytale stuff

[Boslem's Brazil]

It will be interesting what team starts, and I guess it depends on how many games Aspin/Rudge have seen.

 

I'd go with pretty much the same team from last night.

 

Roos

 

Gibbons

 

Davis (Anderson if they have a big lad up front)

Smith

Gunning

 

Denton

 

Whitfield

Pugh / Tonge (Depending on who is freshest)

Worrell

 

Barnett

Turner

 

Subs:

 

Hornby

Davis/Anderson

Pugh /Tonge

Harkness

Yates

Pyke

Pope

 

Thoughts?

I'm expecting a markedly visible difference but I can't bring myself to think we will manage something as overwhelming as 3-0 yet. Maybe 1-0 for me

Boslems Brazil.....they have a certain Mr Hooper up front. Last spotted crawling off the pitch at Fleetwood as he had no guts or heart

Not sure it will be 3-0, but the atmosphere at the last few games has been akin to sitting in a café, with a low murmur as people chatted amongst themselves.

Hopefully, it will feel and sound like being at a football match on Saturday.
