Match Thread: Port Vale v Bristol Rovers

[Playa Amodores]

Can’t see it being a good advert for football, it’ll be a scrap fest. Expect Taylor if selected to be given dogs abuse by the Gas.

And by the RS if his recent performances are continued

[Fosse69]

Yes but I sit in the Railway and this person is coming with me, otherwise they wouldn't bother.
A sold out main stand with every other seat empty. Only at Vale. 

I may be wrong, but I assume some will move from the RS to the Hamil next season, thus freeing some seats.

Phil, I hope if he does play then the abuse will liven him up. If fit I’d go with Proctor, this will be the type of game where we’ll be needing players of his stature.

Let's hope he scores a Hat trick and really winds them up.

That’s the team I would play.

We need to be careful about over taxing Plant and also over stating his current ability based on one game. Butterfield, Politic and Massey have much more experience in the forward midfield area. Pett, Conlon and Ojo also in central midfield. This is a call for Andy Crosby who knows where he is consistently at in his play. But I hope I'm going to be excited about him and he's on a journey to the top of the game. As a young player he has that opportunity, whilst all the others have reached their max potential.

Because his conduct effectively got Conlon sent off instead. There is no need or reason for a physio to get involved in aggro that influences decisions on the pitch, right or wrong. 

How did the physio giving an abrupt appraisal of the match officials dreadful performance after the final whistle get Conlon sent off after 34 mins?

Capacity farce needs sorting.

I have someone who fancies coming with me today but as of 10:30 the Railway Stand is sold out.

I wouldn't have an issue if it was full but it'll be half empty. Put some toilets in ffs.

Joe,  is it still possible to buy a ticket in the Paddock and get into the stand?  Sure there was a gap? Or hop over the wall?

It’s not about fitness it’s about their mentality and experience in big high pressure games (which today is). I think more often than not managers fall back on the more senior pros at times like this. 

They don’t come much bigger than the league leaders away.

They've been posting a steward to block that gap since last season, but loads of people hop over the wall.

I’m not at all confident for today. Really worried. Feel quite sick 

[Bimbleabout]

After more than 50 years watching Vale, I’m never ever confident, but got a feeling in my water we’ll get another 5 points this season.

you heard it here first.

Has Harrison ever scored against one of his old clubs ?since playing for Vale .
It was very odd v Portsmouth how he was about be substituted then left his leg in and a pen was given giving them a route back into a game Vale were completely secure in .
You play for Port Vale not one of your ex clubs

Absolute drivel
