Popped into the club this afternoon.  Tickets gone back but can be bought on the day from Cheltenham.  £2 extra but getting a student ticket so will still be only £15.

Just hope the team put in a performance today to make up for the earlier home fixture, to break the hold DC still seems to have on us.  Got me thinking, there’s always talk about the managerial merry-go-round, but isn’t DC the only former manager we’ve come up against in over 40 years? Makes you wonder if coming to the Vale was the pinnacle of any manager’s career and they then just couldn’t see the point in going on to manage any other league team. 😉

They all ended up retired or at the likes of Hartlepool & Gateshead 😂 never even noticed that good point! Just goes to show some of the crap we’ve hired over the years. Haha come on Vale!

Change of tactics today folks try & bring a bit of a good omen to the new gaffer! No oatcakes or Dalmatian plate, McDonald’s on a sad looking standard one. UTV!

You'd think after supporting the buggers for so long I'd have learnt wouldn't you? Why, oh why do I get up this morning filled with enthusiasm and hope knowing that by 5.00pm I'll be swearing and kicking the cat, if I had one! The dog knows to keep out of the way on a Saturday afternoon.

Like Valiiant says though as long as they give it 100% and cut out the U13's defending I'm okay.

Come on Vale! We owe Clarkey one.

Don't feel like there will be much change today, in terms of formation, starting 11. Reckon DM will still be observing and analysing etc.

So I reckon DM will go:

                           Rips

          Jesse.      Lapata.      Jones

                         Ojo

                  Weir

Massey.                 Chis.             Grant

                      Loft.     Wilson

 

Would like us to go 4231 but will be a few square pegs in round holes

                         Rips

Lowe.        Jesse.     Lapata.      Grant/Jones

                     Gore.       Ojo

  Sang.                 Chis.               Mighten

                         Wilson

Lopata is injured isn’t he? And gore I thought was out for another week or two 🤷‍♂️ 

[Vtid]

Darren has used & liked a 3-5-2 formation quite a bit in the past so I can’t see a change of formation but you never know 🤷‍♂️  

                             Ripley 

               Lowe     Smith       Yak 

 Massey       Sang          Ojo          Grant

                             Chislet

                       Loft           Wilson 

 

This is how I think he may line up 🤔 Plenty of experience in that side
