I think Rodney is carrying an injury

He’s not carrying anything else.

Oldham will be a different team second half no doubt. The boys need to keep their concentration and composure. Seriously can't believe we haven't scored first half. Come on Lads!

Guthrie had had a lot of criticism tonight in what is probably been his best game for us. I don't think he has played well but unlike previous games he has done the things he should be doing.

 

He has closed them down with intent unlike the casual trot towards them he usually does.

 

He has won more headers in the box tonight than he has done since he signed, albeit win the same powerpuff outcome.

 

He wouldn't be in my side but surely people know what to expect from him now. 

 

Dominated them so far but the longer we go without a goal the more worried I become.

Long time since we got to half time without an injury

No give him credit he has been decent today 

He really hasn't, he's been caught out multiple times, both by long balls and by turning the ball over and then being miles out of position. Watch it back. 

A wide diagonal down our right carves through him like he isn't there. Far too slow, far too narrow.

Has he? He should’ve buried at least one header, so far for me he hasn’t done what he’s being payed to do.

I'm sure Guthrie has a marshmallow head, he seems to cushion everything, FFS put some power into it.

Thought I recognised him!

I didn't say he had played well, I said he has been better than he has previously. 

 

He should have a goal, which is more than I could say about him in previous games

He has been absolutely atrocious

I think it would be a mistake not to make some attacking subs and try to up the tempo even more. Get Hurst or Amoo on that side and take the pressure off Worrall.

[osprey]

Come on Vale

Early goal please
Longer it’s 0-0 the more likely you know what happens

Unfortunately at the wrong end 

[valiant_593]

Id get Amoo on for Guthrie and stick Rodney up top, attack down both wings, have the wingers attacking the back posts where there has been space at every cross
