Match Thread: FAC 1 Port Vale v Exeter City

[Breadwinner]

Looking forwards to this game .
Vale are playing so well .
Exeter have already annihilated us 4-0 .
That result alone would get me going to this game .
At home great chance progress .
Playing well fans enjoying what they are seeing (I should imagine they are unless they set the bar far too high ).
We look sharper by the game .
Team no idea leave that to our superb manager DC .
Robinson to score and Harrison I keep saying this is due a brace or hat trick .
I hope we have being working on our finishing .
Come on Vale
FA Cup run would be special .
Imagine Harrison dumping bigger clubs out .
I can and that's why I'll be going .

I have wondered this season if we are the only EFL side without any digital advertising boards (scoreboard excepted). I know these things cost money and not having a dig at the club - there's so much to put right with the ground but when money has been spent replacing the hordings on railway and bycars why not upgrade? We are owned by a digital solutions company which makes it all the more surprising to me.

Good point, but all things in good time...not so long back our players were being fed stale pies. I trust the Shanahans to get the bulk of things right, but it will take time to build rather than crash and burn.

I’m looking forward to this one, think it’ll be a good game and we’ll win (sorry). Just got a feeling. We played well at Plymouth on Monday and deserved a draw. Looking forward to the oatcake beforehand too.

I could be wrong but I don't think FA Cup games can be shown on ifollow due to the international broadcast agreement. Unless it's selected for foreign broadcast then the FA Cup games aren't available. Like I said, I'm not 100% but that's what I recall from last season

Hopefully all of our loanees will be allowed to play by their parent clubs.

Lets hope Stevens, Butterworth and Mipo are ok to play. Polotic won't be an issue and not bothered about Small or McCarron.

Played well for 70 mins I thought Fred then tired. Depends who wants it tomorrow. If full strength you’ll find us very tough not like earlier in the season. If not, it’s yours I reckon

Would love a cup run this year but we can be sure the owners wont sack the manager if we don’t, unlike Macclesfield and another former owner we had.

We are playing very well at the moment so we want to carry the performance levels of the last 7 or 8 games into this and should fancy it being at home, bonus is we can rotate 6 or 7 players and still be very strong which not many clubs can do. Certainly should be a completely different beast to our last meeting with these!

Hope we have a better ref than last time that knows what a diving little cheat their number #3 Sparkes is.
