Match Thread: Port Vale v Northampton Town

[toyahw 280]

Sloppy last ten minutes threw away all the good work. Didn't look like a corner to me, the ref and Lorne St liner are (family site) suboptimal.

[Lornelounger 74]

Must be very frustrating for Askey and the players to concede in that way just on half time.  Let's hope they can get back on top second half.

Dodgy ref are us at Vale park again by the sounds of it.  

[PVFC764 121]

Manny off - not been in the match much. 

Come on Vale get the killer goal as your playing against 13 people today.

[Fosse69 262]

Cullen on

[Bycarsbill 110]

45 mins+ second week running!  And yet again from a corner--when will we ever learn?!!!!!!

Lardies will be taking over praise and grumble tonight and their first call will no doubt be for the sacking of their manager after 2 games this season.  Oh what joy to be a Vale fan.

I wish Joyce had been in the match less. Not vintage Manny though. Hope he is not injured.

That is the one thing you worry about Manny, so talented but seems a bit prone to injury. 

Just hope it was one of those games where he was marked out of the game and could not show his talent.

Cracking comment - think the ref is using sonar, as he is not using his eyes.  Best comment of the day.

Come on Vale get that goal you deserve.

[Fosse69 262]

1-1 FT

[toyahw 280]

One team tried to play and deserved to win. The other just played to get set pieces and  launch an aerial assault, ably assisted by a linesman and the referee. Disappointed, we have to stop switching off for periods. But at least we didn't lose, which with that ref was something of an achievement.

[Bycarsbill 110]

Bad news?  Should have won!  Good news? Unbeaten this season and undefeated again having scored first!

[Iron Curtain 505]

Vale played very well second half and had some excellent chances... the ref has robbed us.

As Sproson said, one of the worst I have seen.

[Paul6754 173]

Good performance by Vale in difficult conditions. Agree with Phil Sproson that they were lucky to finish the game with 11 men and the officials weer awful, the tackle by the center back on Conlon could have ended his season.

Amoo is an exciting player, he's gonna attract supporters.

MOM for me was Leon Legge, immense in that wind.

The Stokies are going at it already. Nathan Jones you won't last too long......lol

 

[toyahw 280]

My MOTM would have been Amoooooo. Much better than last week. A few bits of bad decision making but looked dangerous. Which is what we want to see. No finer way to spend a Saturday tea time than listening to the lardies in meltdown. Already in a relegation battle apparently... let us hope.

There seems to be a great partnership developing down the left with Crooks and amoo. First half pretty average second half brilliant should have won 3-1
