Think this is going to be a game of two halves if we can get in 0-0 i think it will be all us second half conditions look difficult for attacking in the direction we are atm

Don't know why we are playing hoofball against the wind. Very lucky not to be behind so far

The pitch is drowned in sand looking at it. He's probably warned them about it being dry and bobbly. The panicked hoofing is playing right into their hands though.

Proper park pitch and conditions

Remember from the home game that they go down easily

Thanks to Brown we are still in this game.  They are up for it and we are just not there at the moment.

Windy, so what are we doing, lumping it up high and hoping.  Blame the green kit, we always seem to play rubbish in it.  🤪

Come on Vale sort it out and play on the deck and you never know against this physical side.

On this pitch getting the ball on the grass will lead to free kicks in conlon territory.

Reminds me of playing Northampton

Surely there are rules about minimum pitch standards. I know weather / under layer etc. But <ovf censored> me get a pitch fork out or something. National league pretenders.

35 mins and we haven't had a shot!

The ball rolled a bit before Brown's goal kick just.

Laws of the game anoraks. The keeper puts the ball down for a GK after it had gone out of play. The wind catches it and it rolls into the net. Does it count? Genuinely curious as it's precisely the sort of thing that would happen to us.
