Hopefully, now, Stevens and Taylor starting will put an end to that ridiculous 100k rumour.

Really glad Wilsons starting. Hopefully his class will show today and win it for us


 

Looks to me like a team who will pass their way through the thirds. On their day, some decent, technical players in the side, who I think will try and break Accrington down with short intricate passes in and around their box.

Two things for me in an attacking sense to consider:

1. I hope that we don't keep trying to walk it in - have a shot if it's on.

2. If we do revert to lumping it up (hopefully not relentlessly anyway) who is going to make it stick?

Well, Stone has had 2 of his best games in his last 2 games so had to be dropped. Just like Politic has not started since being MOM and scoring at Shrewsbury.

Does seem odd to drop Stone as I would say he's played well in the last couple of games.

It’s a technical team, Wilson is more of a footballer than Harrison for instance and is set up to take advantage of their nice new pitch I would say.

The only issue is that we have to keep in on the deck and use our footballers rather than have Donnelly boot it down the channel all game to no one with any height.

Jack Stephens and Matty Taylor starting… it’s not been a good week for the conspiracy theorists.😂

Always thought that one was a bit daft.

I originally thought that and defended him for 6 months but after seeing him put some effort in for a couple of games yet was still crap I have now revised my assumption of him as lazy (most the time) and useless 

lazy, useless AND crap - dunna wrap it up mate - in fairness theres a big part of me that agrees with you, but I just think he has had a raw deal in being played out of his correct position - He is probably crap there too 🤣🤣🤣🤣

good points mate:

1. Wilson and Butterworth will shoot on sight - but probably not on target 🤣🤣🤣🤣

2. No one

I really like the look of the team - Keegan-ball result today 4 -2 to us

Big sporting few days with  Vale vs Accies to start with.

Come on Vale. 

[Powerline]

Understand dropping Conlon who was rubbish, and resting Stone and Harrison because we’ll need them for Oxford. But I don’t understand dropping Worrall.

[PVFC764]

Who else is worried when they take a corner or free kick against us that it will end up in the goal.

Come on Vale.  

[bomber]

Whos worried if they take a shot it will go in! 

[Powerline]

That Butterworth free kick was diabolical. He really is <ovf censored>.

[Powerline]

This is absolutely terrible. Going to lose playing like this.
