Similar performance to Notts county. Grown into the game. Had some very promising moments but Tolaj has been awful today. Seems really hit or miss so far. Chislett on at half time, I’d be really tempted to get paton on with stockley as well for Hennegan but that might be a bit too risky at 0-0. 

I'd imagine DM will be happy to play for a point here, I'd be happy but shocked to see him pull a defender

Thought we were the better team for the last 10/15 minutes of that half. These are one of those teams that like to knock it back and forth to each other for no reason. Could and probably should have scored in that last 10 minutes.

We need quicken up playing half dead however Curtis should score Tolaj should also 

There 2nd disallowed goal well we got away with one there 

We do not need 3 centre half's 

Debrah is really struggling needs be replaced .

Gotta watch that lad on the wing Shorrock got better as half went on 

If we go for it we win this need take the shackles off

Overall apart from last 10 of first half very poor

Yeah I agree. I think he might bring chissy on for Tolaj though 

Picked up after my last comment, but it’s still not great. No point having Stockley if he’s got no-one buzzing around him.

I’f rather change to a back four and sacrifice a defender for Chislett.

However, if we stick with the wing back system, which I’m sure we will, then Tolaj off for Paton, which Curtis in the 10.

Weathered their storm, luckily. But these are dangerous and we have to be careful.
Ball retention was like watching last season and some of the decision making in the final third was way off.
Pretty hectic scruffy half but we had good chances, more than Dons.

These look vulnerable on the break.

Poor display for me with the ball. Struggled to put more than 2 passes together. The number of times we have given the ball away is criminal.

Feels like 1 goal will win this game for either side.

1-0 either way this. Get Chizzy on for abit of magic 

Very similar to last week, we pinched it then, hopefully do the same again.

Don't think we were very poor at all. These are a good side and will finish well above where they are right now in the table. They were always going to have spells in the game where they were on top. We've shown more than enough to be optimistic going into the second half.

Some poor decision making and end product from Tolaj and Curtis at times as we finished the half the stronger after a cagey start.

Looks like Vale's plan is to sit back, frustrate and catch them on the counter, it's worked so far given the HT score.

Croasdale been excellent.

Shorrock can't be left 1 on 1 defending against Nemane.

I'd take a 0-0 now.

Fairly even game all to play for second half which is a good place be at half time away from home but we need to keep possession much better and tolaj/curtis/stockley need to sort their communication out.

 

Ive said it before but Im going to say it again Garrity is doing very little in that midfield. Cover seems off it today as well for some reason.

 

I'd like to see chizzie for curtis. Am I the only one who thinks curtis is a tad lazy?

 

Hopefully a cup of tea and a chat with Uncle Darren will get them sparking second half

Goal of the season would have been won there and then by Connor if that had gone in. Great strike anyway.
