Match Thread: Crewe Alex v Port Vale

[Biddulph_PV]

This could be a very disappointing day come 4.55 after the Rugby.
 

I’m not expecting anything from today.

Who were Crewe fans supporting...South Africa??

Askey will bottle it play one up front with Bennett and keep Popey on the bench.

Sit back and hope for a draw.

Bennett playing should give us a chance of a goal or two Take the game to them and no hoofball and a win is a possibility

[PVFC764]

Can only see this going one way.  Playing one up front and having loads of chances, but not putting them away.  Players always seem to bottle it when Super Vale fans travel away in numbers.

Shunters to score off their only chance and Askey to change it late in the game.

Please prove me wrong Vale and come away with 3 points for all the supporters that have turned up.

[PVFC764]

Get in Preston - sjoke in the news for an illegal approach of their manager and they are getting reported for it.  

 

Hopefully Pope will come off the bench with plenty of time to score the winner and Vale come away with 3 points.  Here's hoping for a good game.

We’ve played for better this season with 433. 
442 isn’t necessarily a more positive formation.

Crewe must be the only ground wit a kiddies play area behind the home end goal.

Now now Andy, don’t let reality get in the way of sentiment!

Same 11 and formation that were outstanding in last away game at high flying Bradford. We went 442 at Macclesfield and turned in our worst performance all season.

Is Atkinson injured as he isn't on the bench?

Agree re: Preston.  Hopefully they will stick to their guns as he is the type of Manager who could do well for them.

 

Hopefully Popey will come on when we are already 3 up!

If the good Vale team turn up we're in with a decent chance.

Could be another local derby next season - PNE have reported Stoke to the EFL for an alleged illegal approach to their manager. The tables are turning - c'mon, Vale, three points today will keep us right in the mix 🙂
