Matchday Thread: Port Vale v Grimsby Town

[valiant_593]

A think with the appoint of aspo and rudgie it's sent a shock wave through league 2 so let's show them how to play come on vale

 

Sent from my SM-G901F using the onevalefan mobile app

 

How has it sent a shockwave? Most fans are taking the mic it's a great appointment for us but I don't think fans of other clubs will understand.

[valiant_593]

Anyway think we will win this 2-0. Think we will start slow and grind it out against a poor side. Can see pope scoring today.

[elav trop 1876]

Thought he was one of the best performers against Newcastle. Has an issue with losing the plot but has the sort of fight Aspin will like. Just needs a lesson from Aspin on how to manage his aggression. We need a bit more steel at the back.

 

agree think gunning has energy and strength , I would to start

gunning

smith

Anderson

whitfield

Worrall

turner

gibbons

roos

pope or Barnett

tongue

denton

 

edited as missed denton dohh

 

think these are our best effective players

 

 

 

which ever formation they are best effective, we have no centre mid poss 4 2 31 let 3&1 run riot and keep it tight at thr back poss concedimg our weakest area midfield to bolster the defence n attack

Sat here in 26 degrees in southern Spain wishing I was in Burslem . Hoping that we win, but it might take a few games to turn this side around.

 

I'll go for a 1-0 or 2-1 win, and celebrate with a Mahou or Cruzcampo later!

[valiant_593]

Think I would go:

 

Boot (all our keepers are useless, he can't be any worse)

 

Gibbons

Anderson

Gunning

Smith

Denton

 

Worrall

Adf

Tongue

 

Pope

Turner

[blackdog]

[paulvaliant]

Roos

 

Gibbons

Anderson

Gunning

Smith

Denton

 

Tonge

Worrall

Whitfield

 

Pope

Turner

 

Subs :- Hornby, Kay, Wilson, Pugh, ADF, Barnett, Pyke.

Rudgie and maybe Aspo saw the Vale play last week and also in practice, so the speed and diagonal runs of Turner would have been noticed.

 

Aspo will start Turner and the Vale will get off to a good start.

Vale 2 Grimsby 0.

Blimey, there are police and riot-vans everywhere - have I missed something or are we still playing Grimsby?

[darren1810]

They got a reputation Bluedevil and a few idiots anticipated.

On to the game I was in the Bycars on Weds for the full scale practice match.

I have a gut feeling Harness will start . Aspin had a couple of one on ones with him , not offered much so far so I'm probably totally wrong .

Me too, I'm hoping to get radio Stoke on the Internet. I am also going for a Vale win, a scrappy 1-0 will do for now.

See

 

I was there! I'm pretty sure we'd been knocked out of the FA Cup the week before and we were 3 down at half time.

 

Did Tommy McLaren get one? I remember it was December and very cold.

 

Grimsby sent us down in 1992, police horses were required to keep order as the Vale nutters made for the away end.

 

Very little changes over the years!

 

I was there too, a euphoric night! Vale were 0-3 down then scored 4 second half goals in 12 minutes. I thinly Micky Mahon might have got a couple.

 

A magic night!

It was a 3-00pm Saturday game

[The French Connection]

It'll be interesting to see how sides people have suggested here compare to the 11 that start.

So the floodlights were obviously on in the 2nd half!
