Match Thread: Port Vale v Bristol Rovers

[WV]

Can't go to the game as I am working as per on Saturday but will be biting my nails hoping for the best today. Our best chance to cement our league 1 status.

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

We had no other option though.

Don’t disagree, but given a choice he wouldn’t have played had Pett been fit. The option was taken out of crosbys hands by his injury.

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

I share your concern, but will only feel quite sick if we fail to get anything from this game!

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.

I really hope you'r correct, although three points will probably do it and if other results go our way, even a single point could help greatly.

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.

Agree apart from massey he must be one of the the worst signings we have made IMO.  Would rather give the young lad's a chance at least they will give 100% and that will do for me UTV

Remember Man City v QPR and Man City v Leicester. Stuff like this happens. My favourite is the Carlisle goalkeeper scoring in injury time to keep them in the EFL.

We are in an interregnum. But provided it's not accompanied by a lawless society in the team we have enough proficient swordsmen and archers to win this game

Ojo, Harrison and Pett back in.

I'm more concerned about proficient footballers right now 😉
