Match Thread: Port Vale v Cambridge United


Fosse69

Recommended Posts

Have to say a little disappointed with the players mentioned we are trying to sign. The impression I had from Vale Park all summer was to establish a small squad who will be very competitive in the league which we have done. Next try and get some lads from higher to come in on loan to improve the 1st team. Cant see that happening with 3 mentioned - although hasten to add I'm no scout so I could be completely wrong!!

Anyway..... expecting a good reaction from the lads tomorrow. Sooner or later we are going to take our chances and give someone a good hiding ourselves. Think this could be tomorrow.

Final point the talk about Smith is ridiculous, he's been magnificent so far this season except 2nd half Grimsby. There again you could say that about 80% of the team in that 2nd half. He will bounce back to his scrappy best.

Tried to clean this up a bit. Can we stick to talking about the game please...

 

After having to miss Grimsby (thankfully), I'm looking forward to a reaction today! Monty back hopefully, I'd go with the same team that started against FGR if so, which is only the one switch (more just a change back to our better side).

I’m more excited about today’s game than any match in the last 32 years. 

 

The reason being my son is mascot. He’s 5. Following in my footsteps as I was mascot when I was 5 on 18th April 1987. A 3-2 home win against Mansfield. 

Hope he brings us some luck.

No surprise about Lloyd. For that 3 up front to work it needs 2 players with pace either side of the forward and Lloyd just doesn’t have it. 

I would have liked to have seen Pope start today too. 

Whether he can do a job in a midfield 3 is debatable. Completely agree about his lack of pace in a front 3.

You’re right. This is exactly how I feel. The players we are looking at are at best lower level league 2 players who in many cases have reached their peak and unlikely to better that. 

I’d actually rather we took gambles and had fewer players of better quality.

Cambridge have just had a counter attack, the cross was put in and Sam Smith rose to head just wide - Crookes was marking and didn't even jump. Awful defending. 

Vale then have a counter, cross in from Montano and Bennett brings it down with a touch Messi would have been proud of. Quality.

This is why we need to start putting our chances away.

Every time I hear them (well any team) counter attacking I always think our defence will allow them time to score.

Come on Vale.
