Would stick with 352. I would cobble this together:

                              Amos

               Jesse.   Smith.   Hall

John.              Croasdale.              Hart

                                      Byers

                      Chis

                    Hackford.      Curtis

Not far off but Harper will play

I've seen a few online saying Tolaj is ill. 

There's definitely something making the rounds at the moment. No idea what it is but it's floored me for the last 2-3 days 

I am guessing Moore will address the speculation after the game

Sorry, your quoted post should be after mine.

More realistically, Rhys hasn’t played enough matches to be anywhere near match >>sharp<<.

The lad is a good pro, and will certainly have been keeping himself match fit.

Do you think Darren would have offered him a 3.5 year contract if he had just been slobbing out with his Nintendo and some takeaways?

Rhys will never, ever get match sharp if he doesn’t play in any matches.

You say you will be surprised if he plays again this season! can you tell us all what the injury is ?

It’s a torn calf muscle and he is in an aircast boot 

Right off to bed when awaken lad be here pick me up for game .

Good luck to the Valiants .

Hope all the support are up for the game just read the ref, is  the same ref as v Crewe (maybe leave Harper on bench ) .

Tolaj be in the team is my prediction he was probably at a event yesterday and the club gave him time off to go it 

Soon see bring on Salford and there small army of support.

Can't quite recall our last home encounter v them think it ended 1-1 think Clark starred for Vale that game and I think did Wilson score for them I'm sure he was playing for them anyway .

UTV 

So what time are we giving it for complete meltdown on here today 🙂 

The usual this is <ovf censored> Vale

Moore is clueless and has to go

Change it Moore for goodness sake Hackford is useless

Noooooooo not for him Umolu isn't even Isthmian league level...................

The old "that's that then" when we go 1 goal down with 80 minutes left to play is always a good one 😂

Just a last word on opposition scouts and that.

I've been 'told' the team before now based on a Friday training session and on the Saturday it's a different eleven.

Sometimes the manager will use the Friday to look at an alternate scenario, a plan B, how we'll play after we make a planned sub etc.

I'm sure they're also very conscious of people walking round doing a Bielsa.

it’ll be in the first half when the meltdown starts. 
 

“Non-league at best” is another belter that gets trotted out. 
 

A “Moore needs to go” is a safe bet.

I am sure at half time Spunk Trumpet will make an appearance 🙂 

Prediction, 2-0 Vale. Let’s go! 

Wonder how Liverpool would fare on occasions without Trent, Robertson, Szobaslai and Salah in the starting X1 ? 

Both full backs, a key midfielder and your top scorer.

Sums up what we are contending with.

Come on Vale.

Whatever you do at halftime is your business.😉

I predict a steady/cautious 1st half appraisal of the opposition with some snoring in the stands then up a gear in the last 30mins of the 2nd and a couple of quality goals. Hopefully Byers & Curtis to notch today.
