Match Thread: Port Vale v Chesterfield

[Howjy04]

Remember folks, if we lose today it’s not all bad news. Yes, it might mean we drop into non-League, causing attendances to plummet further and arguably hastening the extinction of the club, but at least there will be a nice new bar on the Railway Paddock

 

Does the season end today?

[Biddulph_PV]

If we lose, then yes I believe it probably does.

[Howjy04]

Was it only partially *****^ up before you read it tench?

Ya worry too much Biddulph.ting it personally.We’ll be fine.

Chesterfield winning last week will have boosted their confidence, of course.

It also makes them less desperate for a win.

From their perspective, a draw today would keep things ticking on nicely.

2 home wins, 2 away draws and 8 points from the last 5 games, just what is needed.

It could be argued that this goes in our favour.

Both teams are playing well and are probably believing that they have enough to stay up, so both would be OK with a draw as this keeps things moving towards safety.

I think a draw is the most likely outcome.

They only have 3 home games left compared to 6 away, so they'll probably see this as a must win away game.

Such a massive game tomorrow, time Vale got a few breaks, tomorrow would be a great time.

 

As long as those breaks aren't legs

Their teenage goalkeeper on loan from Bournemouth is from Chesterton apparently.

 

He's had a couple of shockers when I've seen their goals on telly. We should be looking to put him under pressure.

 

Thats correct. He was the England under 19 keeper when they won the Euros. Was transferred from Sheff Utd to Bournmouth for a million and is now getting league experience at Chesterfield. I understand he did let a couple of dodgy ones in early in his loan but is playing well now (unfortunately!!)

Tonge and Pugh back together in midfield. Now very very worried

You can stick your Twisted Spire up your ar5e.

I bet they’ve never heard that before.

 

the story goes that a virgin got married and the spire twisted itself to see who it was as it had never happened before.

I thought that was the Twisted Squire,bw.

[inner sanctum]

Tonge and Pugh don't have enough mobility and energy to match their midfield

[PVTony]

No use on a prediction for this game. I/we can only hope for a Vale win and at least no defeat.

 

Barnet and Pope MUST score today to stand a chance of a good result.

[davehartshill]

Tonge and Pugh again?

 

Ffs.
