OK been given the team news for tonight .

This is the team .

         Ripley 

Lowe Debrah Icavetti 

Sang                          Plant 

         Walters Ojo 

            Arblaster

Uche Garrity .

Good team that .

Looking forwards to the game .

Uche to bundle one in then spend the rest of the night overpowering all the Derby back line .

Debrah doing what he does so well putting his body on line and CR saving everything .

3 /4 nil Vale .

Positivity .and possible you don't keep playing well and not getting your rewards no matter how folk dress it up we are a lot better side than we are given credit for .

The amount of negative and bizarre posters on this forum would hoodwink most folk who do not attend into thinking we are absolutely garbage we are not and eventually wins are forthcoming .

UTV 

Oh yeah I missed something out.

Quarter finalists

is that your team or you had information from a reliable source 🤔 i'd be suprised if walters starts, i'd start him myself but for some reason he's not been given any minutes in the league so far whatsoever

The trouble at the Vale is, criticism is given even when it's not due. A section of our "support" is actually the opposite, it's embarrassing. It's as if they want something or someone to boo and berate, with Gav Massey being the latest unfortunate one to cop for it off these imbeciles. 

I'm sorry, l just don't get it.

 

I don’t get the continued criticism of Massey but in fairness some people expect too much of him and often wonder if his positional sense isn’t great but people expect too many goals from him but tonight is a really tough game against an in form team and Collins is a very good player and we have to stop the service to him and positionally we have to mark his presence and we will see what Smith does with him

If I just use Saturday. There was zero reason for compromise. Lowe and Debrah came off the bench so were fit.

Debrah or Lowe Right side. Smith Centre. Yak left. 

Instead we have Smith out of position and our best midfielder at CH .

That's all on the manager. 

Maybe he was hoping to keep Lowe and Jesse out of that game to be ready for the Derby game?

I'm sorry Darren1810...go back to sleep?

It's the team Crisby should pick 1 million per cent .

Love Chislett and Devine but think Walters has potential be something else it allows Ojo and Arblaster push on I think the calmness and the progressive passing of Walters could be just what's needed we need be running in behind BG will do that all game .

Simplify it Vale as I keep saying there goals in us but for some unknown reason they haven't been forthcoming .

A season lasts 46 games and over a season playing how we have I think just outside play offs will be our finishing position .

We have had our bad run with major support this evening from each and every one who is attending ,anything is possible ,he could pick 11 out the crowd and they would be motivated do it v the bar Bolton biggest club in the league .

If not I'd be transfer listing the lot .

Big hearts big love 

Big encouragement 

Let's all turn up and be vocal in support you never know did you really think we could beat Swindon I didn't but I turned up and thought you know what I'm going give it everything and hope we play above ourselves and it was fantastic the crowd were up for it .

Do we need any reason tonight be UP FOR IT or do we choose to stay at home and watch some foreign team in champions league .

Vale is where its at .

Real football with real feelings

Change formation for me. Get Sang whipping them balls in for Uche and Loft making a run on each one with Garrity arriving late. I'm over Chizzy, spends more time on the floor than he does on the ball and can't run for more than 60 minutes still.

Sad thing is if you could you wouldn't play Uche, Loft or Massey but such is the diffency in our squad.

Ripley

Deborah Smudge Yak

Sang Ojo Garrity Massey

      Devine

Uche Loft

You'd play with just Josh up top.and no Ollie?

Disagree we’ve deserved more. Maybe for a couple of games you could say that, but 10? The league doesn’t lie

You can't just isolate the Cup games from this, just because those results don't fit your agenda? It's the same squad / manager / coaches and tactics!

I think you have surpassed yourself with that post, we can't keep blaming luck, the Ref and Uncle Tom Cobley, look at the the league table, one or two results I agree but we haven't won a league game since September we don't score more than one, and we always give a goal away, we are sleep walking to relegation, and even with the injuries we should have done better with those left.

If the ref doesn't give a surefire goal and denies a nailed-on penalty should we blame the commentator, or the ballboys?

I doubt anyone's sleepwalking with all the wailing and gnashing of teeth?

You go with your best team. Most people would anticipate Shrewsbury is easier than Derby and more important not to lose ?

Tonight is a free hit. Shrewsbury are fellow contenders in the bottom half.

If he's saving players for tonight we damn well better win then ! 

Just arrived. Having some nosebag in Chell a cheeky pint then down to the ground. 

2-1 Vale tonight

UTV

It’s looking like it could be a really poor home crowd according to the seats available on the online layout.

You’d expect that playing Derby at home would pull a few extra fans, regardless of form.

It’s nice to be playing Derby at home, in comparison to playing Salford.

I’d go Ripley up front, as the ball tends to find its way to him. That way we’ll be going predominantly towards the Derby goal.

Maybe its because we hardly create anything might be the reason that we do not score goals

I'm going for a optimistic 0-3 defeat.

Spot on. If the opposition keeper was man of the match most games I could understand some of the comments. 

Other than the Burton game most keepers have had little to nothing to do.
