Shame the Yak didn't bury his chance 'cause that would have been the goal of the century

This. Great football leading up to it, and what a first touch! Considering he was just supposed to be a big presence at the back, he's turning into a full-on all-action replacement for Hall, right down to the driving runs and overlaps. 💪

MotM for me, with Clark, Arblaster, Plant, Ojo and, dare I say it, Massey all not far behind.

More composure with final ball and finish (as well as better officiating) and we'd have been fairly comfortable today. As it was, did enough to deservedly grind out the 1-0.

In (not so) sunny Newquay at the mo. We seem to have started well. Are we attacking the Hamil or Bycars?

Lorne street…

Cracking win today! Following up an excellent away win with a win in the following home match against less fancied opponents is the key to a good season.

I feared we'd only get 4 point in August, so 10 points is immense! 

I think there could (potentially) be quite a few outs and ins this week. A very important seven days in the transfer market could/will define our season. 

UTV!

Enjoyed the game after the trauma of actually getting in. Season ticket Car park pass for synectics car park but told to park elsewhere at 2.30 as full. Great start! Went to go in paddock by the the normal entrance by the railway stand and it's all blocked off with a metal fence. What the **** Had to queue down Hamil Road and just about got in by 3. A bit of communication might help Vale. After that all good, great performance

I've read in a few places that the digital turnstiles were down again. The mind boggles at what they actually do during the week up Vale.

I owe AC an apology yes it could all go wrong but the squad he is building is young fit and talented. He clearly had a plan, the way the team has bounced back from Barnsley is unbelievable.

 

 

Have we started the collection for a statue yet?

Good win to back up last weeks results. We could have had a few more with a little bit of control. Two close offsides and Tak's acrobatics.

Balls into the box from them worried me slightly.

Thought Mitch Clark was Player of the match.... great performance.

Beat the Crewe next week and a plumb tie please. ⚽️🤞

Crewe lost today and played 13 mins of added time. Good.

We really should be selling the LS and Hamil out on Tuesday.

Great win no complaints with the effort and at times we looked very good.  My moan is I  took the grandson as he wanted a shirt being soft I said yes.  But the shop was a shambles, we were in the same queue as anybody wanting a ticket, from 2.15 till 2.50 to buy one shirt is ridiculous go back to tickets at one window and let people buy merchandise at another.  Moan over  will never use the shop before a game  again  utv and KTF

Very debatable, as were a number of baffling decisions by a largely incompetent referee. Chizzy being pole-axes by a 2 footed tackle, then going up the other end and nicking the ball in the area, both fouls apparently.

Chizzy MOTM for me, though maybe he lost it having only played the hour. Taken out by nasty challenges multiple times, real attacking flair. Keep these new signings for and we’ve got a serious squad on our hands. 

Grant injured or just rested? That’s concerning given his record.

Did Edmondson get a decent reception?

Yes got clapped as he came on, and after the game. As did Butterworth.

Yes. Rightly so.
