The criticism Holy gets doesn't make sense to me. I'd be amazed if he was dropped given his stats. He wasn't to blame for Tuesday night's goal, take your pick from Pett, Smith, Walker and Hall. The late goal against Rochdale should have been cleared by Hall but it got caught under his boot and he fluffed it and it was a good finish into the corner..

His save percentage is better than Stone, his goals conceded per game is less than Covolan and Stone and he has 3 clean sheets in 8.

I do understand that Stone has come on twice this season to replace Covolan and the team have been down to 10 men which muddies the stats a little but Holy isn't the awful goalkeeper that people have labelled him to be. 

EDIT: His distribution does need to improve though. He has a cannon of a right foot but he needs to gauge it better, he gives the ball back to their goalkeeper too many times.

Thanks for the stats to back up an argument that I would agree with.  I too, don't see any reason why Holy shouldn't continue as #1 keeper certainly in the short term.  Obviously every player has to be measured on their performances and it's only right that whatever position we are talking about, each one is picked on merit.

Hoping for 3 points but results so far in 2022 suggest a low scoring game, 1-1 seems favourite. Would be great if we stuffed someone and went into the last few minutes  of the game with a comfortable lead.

I also hope , for 3 points today . Vale need to start winning again soon .

Thankfully we share the assists round in our side a lot, so this shouldn’t be an issue. It’s not like Gibbons has set up 4 of our last 5 or anything. 

These are dogs so a win is an absolute must. Draw isn’t good enough.

Rested why has he got a second job on nights stacking shelves at tesco 

No, he’s just been out injured for 2 months, folk were moaning he was rushed back too soon last time, now they moan when he is eased back in, damned if you do, damned if you don’t. Springs to mind.
