Match Thread: Port Vale v Luton Town

[Fosse69]

A fantastic win over the Hatters would send all our dreams soaring. even a lose will still be in a league situation few dreamed of a few short months ago, and we will step into a bright new year with a spring in our step and hope in our hearts. Down to business, we may still have a few players unavailable, but can now put out a decent performance. I will leave it to the Maestro to pick and change the team, but who do you think will be in it?. Come on Vale lets end the year on a noisy high.

Clearly worthy of our respect but we aren't afraid of Luton Town. Score for fun, Hylton, Collins, Berry to name a few .

3 months ago 0-4 .

Now I'm really hopeful we can give them a really good game.

Despite our result yesterday for me health permitting Anderson and Worrall come straight back in for Davis and Pugh, will he start with Barnett ? I doubt it myself .

Don't know about a win because this will be a tough one but a draw would be a very good year ender,don't remember their pitch being all that big so that vales wide open spaces might be to our advantageUTV.

Luton are full of pace,throw a lot of men forward and score for fun.It's one of those games where a long ball out of defence might catch them out?

In Denmark we have a saying, that goes something like: ‘nobody is bigger, than they can lye down’.

They have good players and have hit their form, not excactly Messi, Suarez and De Bruyne lining up for them.

Go at them, with a focused backline for the counters. Keep the energi up from the CC game, and I cant see why we shouldn’t be able to pick at least a point

[valiant steve]

We are underdogs for this one. If we can stay in the game it should be a cracker. They clearly have a fair amount of quality in their team. Hopefully another decent crowd and good atmosphere.

I’m expecting nothing from this game, anything at all would be a bonus

Looking forward to this game, even though I don't expect a win. Knowing that we have an organised, hard working team who will give their all, along with enough talent to merit watching is massive progress.

Pre Aspin, I would have gone with no expectations, not even any hope. Just a day out with my mates, the football an unwelcome intrusion.

This is why crowds dwindled and the atmosphere was flat.

It's already past tense now.

The corner has been turned.

The mood has lifted.

There is more than hope, there is expectation, based on good evidence.

This is why I support the Vale and why I will keep coming back.

I will be looking forward to this game, I think the performance against Coventry was very good and with a Luton coming to town, I think we will give them a game.

[SFBT]

I think we will give them a game.

 

That's it. Nail on the head.

That's the difference.

Underdogs and we can be pretty certain we'll give them a game based on recent evidence.

This is what being a Vale fan is about!

Saw the reverse fixture earlier in the season when we were at our most appalling. This was one of our better efforts back then. Luton looked to me more like a Championship side in waiting than a league 2 club. Their ball retention and passing was miles ahead of anything else I have seen this season.

 

I think it will be a great match and although I don’t expect a win, well worth going to.

Spot on just looked at there stats scored 56 conceded 19 .

A massive test for the Vale but we look unified on the pitchand off and as long every player giveshis best then no matter what happens we can be proud .

I just feel something amazing is going happen but we need folk who havent being for a long time to make a effort to attend and encourage .

Its 11 men v 11 men who is not say Harness willwe put clean through in the first minute PEN and there main defender off .

The beauty of football isyou never know look at Burnley at Old Trafford 2 goals in 1 and a half attempts at goalJose said lol .

UTV i hope tickets are selling well atbothends id expe t see 3000 plus Luton fans there they just won 5-0 at Swindon .

Really tough game this one. These are Flying and did look a very decent side earlier in the season. I'd definitely take a point but there's no reason we can't win if we carry on the way we have been playing.

 

I'd make one change and that would be montano in for Barnett, unless Worrall and anderson are fit. If both are I'd bring both in.
