Smith, our best defender has been on the bench recently and has got to start. He might not be able to pass the ball 20 yards but he puts his body on the line every game and loves to defend. Balmer has been unlucky for us - he's got a mistake every game and more often than not, they've been costly.

In midfield, I've been really impressed with Devine in the last month or so, he's added grit and work-rate to his game and yesterday he was superb. We need to get him on the ball as much as possible as he has the spark. Garrity plays best when he's further forward and Chislett impacts the game more when he plays deeper. The question for me is who sits in the holding role in midfield - Ojo is a massive miss. I'd play Walters over Lowe even though he was poor yesterday as he has the legs we need. 

Up front, I'd start Wilson if fit. I'd even start him injured. Loft shouldn't be anywhere near the team and Uche isn't a footballer.

Shorrock was fantastic yesterday and Lomax did well once he came on. They've shown they can play against good teams when we're struggling but I wouldn't start either on Friday I'd continue to use them as impact players. 

I'd go:

                                                             Ripley

                              Debrah                  Smith                 Yak

Massey                                                                                      Grant

                                                            Walters

                                      Devine         Garrity       Chislett

                                                            Wilson

 

If fit, I'd have Sang instead of Walters or maybe Massey but Massey has been much better lately.

Play from the back but hit Devine and Chislett as quickly as possible with Garrity supporting Wilson.  

I'd go with that but put Balmer in instead of Yak.  Maybe bring Yak on once he tires and is more likely to make an error.  Balmer's better at bringing the ball out, has better distribution and gets closer to his man.

We're playing a wingback system with no athletic wingbacks. Sack it off!

And because of the way we play we haven't an out and out right back at the club. Does that even exist in the modern game.  It should do.

Massey has had about 3-4 good games in his Vale career. Not good enough Lomax has shown he's much better in his cameo of a few appearances here & there

I think that the thing that frustrates me the most about us lately is this wingback system.  We look completely isolated in the latter third of the pitch and its not even though we are putting that extra man at the back to good use as we our defending is still awful.

I personally think we need to sack it off and play  4-4-2 and take the game to Blackpool Friday now, if I was Crosby I'd be thinking this too, it HAS to be <ovf censored> or bust for him. He's losing the backing of the supporters very very quickly.

 It says that sang  was left out of the Wycombe match due to injury but Crosby will do same old same old as he doesn’t see what everybody else sees
