Match thread: Port Vale v Rochdale (friendly)

[Fosse69]

Disappointed , thought Rochdale would have brought more fans.

Couple of coaches poor show

Think Rodney is showing very much that he's a fourth choice striker right now! He is fairly strong and pacey though. Can see him being a nuisance off the bench if nothing else yet.

I don't think Rodney looks great either. I think Zak Mills has been decent today.

2 pens 2-0!

[CambridgeDon]

Another cracking peno by Conlon, 2-0 😀

Followed by a great dipping shot well saved by their goalie.

 

[Doha]

Another good pen. Fairly surprisingly given though.

Conlon is giving me a semi this afternoon.

[Doha]

That would have been a great goal, good training ground routine. 

[TylerB]

Love Dave's energy but he really needs a better final ball at times if he's going to be a regular fixture in our front three.

Rodney looking better down the middle this half.

He’s been our best outfield player so far.

I shouted pen immediately. I was watching Brisley and their bloke pushing and shoving in the build up. I kept my eye on them because I thought the ref was certain to give a free kick against Brisley. As the kick came in Brisley got in front of his man and was just pulled back. No question - pen.

Hope we do use up our penalty quota for the season in this game.

Just not sure that it would been given by the usual standard of league ref. Footage was too zoomed in to see if the liner saw it and flagged.

Great listening to Phil Bowers , a Vale fan commenting  on the Vale.
