Firstly I've been really impressed with James Plant over the last couple of games. He is starting to look like an accomplished wingback on both sides.

Excellent and important 3 points. It's going to be incredibly competitive between now and the end of April. Today was probabhereon ily the last game for James Wilson as a Port Vale player. Looked very much like a hamstring.  Hopefully Garrity was more of a precaution, we need him fit for the remaining games. 

Monday is now the biggest game of the season.  Best chance of an away win on paper.  

they are all big games from hereonin, win the lot vale!😆 

[Vale Ball]

It was lousy defending... They stood off him. Any Sunday league defender would d have put a boot on the ball! 

Rubbish, on that understanding no goal would ever be scored

Still going, still going, still going and scores.  Get in there Dipepa.  Sounds an awesome goal.

What a week this young lad is having.

2 weeks ago he wouldn't have even attempted that run for the goal. You could tell as soon as he came on the kid looked about 2 foot taller. Incredible what a bit of confidence & backing can do, especially for a young player. Great goal & a very decent performance.

The space between the defender backing off and Dipepa was literally nothing. The BR manager must be furious... But we will take it!!

UTV!

He got Vale winning correct that's all that counts. Beat Northampton and Wigan away sets it up for the Peterborough game. 

FFS three away games

Well Carlisle av proved that Peterborough are beatable at home

Can't understand the negativity after a performance and result like today. I thought it was the best performance of the season. We looked like a proper team and what a difference that made. I said in the pub after the game that DIpepa's goal reminded me of Michael Owen's goal against Argentina, so it's nice to see that others thought that too. Ben Garrity's goal booked better on the replay as he calmly sat the keeper down before slotting it past him. I have to admit that in many games this season I  have been gone before the final whistle but today I along with most of the fans stayed to applaud the lads. It was obvious that something has fundementaly changed and that there is now a togetherness that has not been there all season. I did predict a 2-0 scoreline but to put it in context I always predict a Vale win but this is the first time this season that I have got it right.

Tonight Matthew, I am a happy Vale fan.

Just a goalesss draw at Northampton will be a valuable point.. It puts Vale on 40 points

Trying to get him to play football as we've done this season has been absolutely criminal and totally baffling. If he sticks to the basics and doesn't what he's good at, which is kicking and heading it away, he's not a problem at all.

Same can be said for the other 2 defenders we started with today. 

[blackdog]

A welcome performance that has us at least in with a shout a shout I thought had gone a few weeks ago, the application was spot on, the fight and desire was there and you could sense the togetherness of the team, Moore of the same please !

A special word for the ground staff as well, the amount of rain we are getting I thought the pitch would have played heavy, money well spent Carol.

[DazFred]

So people are criticizing Dipepas goal? It's one of the best I've ever seen.

Today was a complete performance. Defenders defended well. Ripley with no shots to save.

Sang has his best game. Plant full of running,stayed close to his man. Hardly any crosses in from the opposition wingers.

Middle 3 were solid,Garrity played well(hope he's not injured)

Chizzy and Lofty defended well from the front. Lofty deserved a goal...looks a different player.

DiPepa? What a goal.

I've said before that clean sheets will get you a point minimum.

Lots of challenges going in today. The last 2 games have given us hope.

We can't rely on opposition dropping points...it's down to us. We got 2 points closer to Burton and Shrewsbury. 3 points further away from Fleetwood.

It's been a good day
