Tues night rearranged games are either losing games or at best we may scrape a draw .

We are a horrific team on a tues night in league why would want play any league game on that night is beyond me .

I am a season ticket holder and I think from now on I'll give them.a miss .

What is it with tues night games in the league 

Blackpool 0 Vale 0 

Vale 2 Burton 3

Bristol Rovers 3 Vale 0 .

I cannot recall the last time I came home from a tues night league game buzzing about us winning its been years since we won at home in a league game on a Tuesday night .

Should rearrange for a Mon or a Wed our home games as tues the players must ne scared of the dark as they never deliver a win in fact more often than not they concede 3 goals on that woeful night .

Tonight not going so hope the fans who do go enjoy it .

To be honest the players need a break to work on how to score a goal or two and how not to give fellow league one teams a leg up .

I'm looking forwards to Mansfield surely tickets should be out soon .

That's in the cup we win in cups on tues night and we will win tonight 

We beat Mansfield at home on a Tuesday night in a league game in March 2022. We've gone over a year without winning a league game at home on a Tuesday night.

Can see likes of sang & garrity being rested for this one mate

some stat 😂

Don't think McDermott has had any minutes at all at Rochdale so far.  Just a thought, as he could play tonight.

10 days to the next game, then 3 games in the 10 days after. I think we will see Garrity.

Just for the first half hattrick, maybe?

it's more as to why would you risk any injury against newcastle's kids im thinking.

Possibly just as likely to get injured in training.

Likely to see Emil Krafth the Swedish International (42 caps) recovering from an ACL injury. Whether we will see any Vale youngsters with shooting boots on would be more welcome.

I am deeply concerned over Crosby’s lack of any choice of striker and in tge league, which I know this match isn’t, we are sliding down far too quickly for my liking and our status in the league could be worrying

I like that lineup mate but I would be much happier if Uche and Loft could manage 45 minutes each and with a bounce game at the weekend they could be in contention for Stevenage away.

but players have to train so if they get a niggle in training so be it. Why risk playing likes of garrity etc against a bunch of kids i see no benefit from it whatsoever id rather play a few fringe players or kids of our own tbh

You might say it's a stupid competition Darren but 25,000 of us didn't think that in 1993.

Exactly or 2001. In fact isn’t this the biggest cup the club has ever won?

I'd play him again for 45 minutes. I want him to get a chance and take it to put Saturday to bed. Very out of character the number of chances he had without hitting the target.

true, prob the only reason i'd like to see him play a part to give him some confidence i suppose. Same goes for devine tho, who in my opinion could do with the mins more than garrity. half each? 😃

Not 1 player though is it…. Postponed means more time to get Loft and Uche fit who would both be injured  / not match fit alongside the international thomas… basically 3 out of out 4 forwards coupled with our best midfielder so it was an easy decision to call it off I think.

 

1 starter. Thomas is bit part and Devine way off form. 

Worked out well the Burton postponed game. That was the start of our demise.
