I hate playing Morecambe. Stevenage v2.0.

Next to Crewe, Stevenage are definitely my most hated team in the league. So glad to see them rock bottom without a win, hope we can give them a thrashing in 2 weeks. If they're worse than Morecambe, shouldn't have any major issues, as long as we can deal with their time-wasting & tactics that seem to have stayed in place since the Westley era.

I’d just like to give a quiet mention to Crookes who had a good solid game, he always gets a mention if he makes a mistake so let’s log one in the plus column.

I thought he had a bit of a nightmare actually!

What he gives the team REALLY? He's our top scorer for gods sake he has also had the assist in at least 3 other goals that i can recall including the 3rd goal yesterday. He is a defendes nightmare around the box. What else do want him to  do?

The first half on Saturday was as flat as a witches breast - even after they went down to 10 men. After the break we came alive and started playing with a bit of passion. In the first half it took 8 passes to get to the halfway line but after halftime we seemed to realise it could be done with a lot less and playing in their half means they have less opportunities to score against us. With Bennett on Tom was often left unmarked, ie look at who was near him when he headed the goal. Bennett was drawing the defenders with his runs and harrowing them when they had the ball ie look what happened just before the 3rd goal.   My man of the match was Cranston !!  Because in just a 10 sec move he laid all the plans for the improvement in the Vale - Their best player decided to be billy hard cnut and decided to kick out at Worrall when the Ball was dead ! Not only that but he did it while the most red  card happy ref was looking directly at him. On looking at the replay on the box you can see their players sink because of what Cranston has done. He looked a good player but he also showed he was as thick as sheite .  

So we now move onto Macclesfield and the goalie is already on the team sheet..... Put Pope AND Bennett on the sheet and then worry about the rest nearer the day.  You cant please everyone with team selection but if Askey goes Macc without two attackers then he will make a rod for his own back. Get em both on the field and see how good a pairing they can be.

Andy Hill? Wow, sublime - one of the best defenders I've ever seen at VP so if Atkinson is a throw back to Andy we are in for more than a few treats. Could be the signing of the season...let's see!

Thank you for those kind words it is nice to be appreciated
