Match Thread : Port Vale v Morecambe

[valefan16]

Pope isn’t a bad option if we use him correctly; Morecambe you assume would look to keep it tight and get us on the break so his aerial ability could be key to unlocking them if we get plenty of joy out wide with Amoo and Worrall. Bennett isn’t that good in the air but may not be much room for him to be taking the ball down in the box etc.

Need to avoid long balls though as that will surely suit Morecambe and build patiently to get the balls into box.

Morecambe are a mediocre side...it i all about taking the game to them and playing ball to feet...Bennett may have had a field day today against their defence likewise Archer. Playing Pope actually sets the tone for a hoofball match and that will suit Morecambe

Given both Archer and Bennett's total abilities...I for the life of me cannot see how Pope is starting

The day will come

Stoke take 40 seconds to concede....lol

Agent Jones will be gone then tonight if they loose.

Who thinks AJ will score today?  Usually ex-Vale players score.

Come on Vale a couple of goals please.

 defending.

One nil...hows the Pope game plan working

[geosname]

Not the start I had hoped for

[MelbourneValiant]

As soon as that hit the net I thought of Dennis Bergkamp. Great finish. You can't knock that.

[CambridgeDon]

What a terrible start - they've only scored six all season. C'mon Vale, wake up! 

[PVFC764]

Lost ifollow and saw it was 1-0 and thought no - not crap defending again and please dont let it be AJ.

Come on Vale - wake up time and score.

What’s it got to do with Pope?

[PVFC764]

Who's the home side.  Sounds like they are at the moment.  We seem to have just the one up and the rest of the team are falling deeper into our own half.

They have started to park the bus by the sounds of it.

Come on Vale, push up and give Pope some more support.

No as the Vale side seem to be in our own half and giving him no support.

Cranston is walking as he is straight red for a stupid foul.

Come on Vale.  Hate it when we play a team who's down to 10 men.
