Match Thread: Cambridge United v Port Vale

[Biddulph_PV]

The fact is that some of the players (and the better ones at that) we have are basically made of glass. I agree it’s a gamble but for me, the only question marks are on the striking positions, and no one can say Mipo doesn’t warrant a start. I actually thought we’d lose this anyway, our record there is pretty poor I think and it’s usually the sort of tight, compact, 100-mile an hour attritional game that doesn’t really suit us.

Mipo to bag a hat trick

If you're the guy who sits next to me in the RS you said that last week after he came on!

Surprised by the changes tbh. But I think Worrall and Benning are our best options at wingback and hopefully pushing Garrity further forward gets something out of him.

I still think we can win this, unless charity Vale turn up and gift them the points.

That kids really struggling with his flag isn't he?!

Good job the transfer window is shut, this forum would of sold Wilson & Harrison within the last hour 😂

So was I, but presumably Harrison & Wilson must be injured?

Always a possibility, but I sincerely hope not. Having said that, we do have history of not doing so well against the so-called lesser sides--fingers crossed!  Up the Vale!

What on earth is that team.

Eleven players in Vale shirts--let's hope they deserve to be wearing them!

I was referring about their 4 straight defeats.

2 good chances so far, both teams look sloppy at the back.

Vale team that day featured from the start, Sam Horby in goal, Joe Davis and Callum Howe in defence, Tonge and Pugh in midfield, Angus up front and on the bench we had Dan Turner, Mike Calverly, Harry Benns, Ryan Boot and Tyrone Barnett.

Gosh - that's a poor side!

That's a kind comment based on that side!

[philmpv]

Good effort that from Mipo

Stone on for Stevens.  Today gets better - not we some hard teams coming up.

Come on Vale you have had a couple of shots on goal - need to put those chances away, but Cambs have had a try as well.

Going to be end to end type game by the looks of it.
