Its so nerve wracking, keep going through all the scenario's in my head! 

Thankfully not the last game of the season or the Playoff final at Wembley.

Whilst Tuesday was a perfect evening results wise, it’s far less likely to be like that tomorrow. Most of the sides around us have winnable games.

Vital to stay level-headed if we’re not in the top three. The chasing pack all play each other when we play teams with little to play for.

That being said - if we beat Walsall I think they’re done. Will absolutely kill them.

Spot on Joe, hopefully the team remain level-headed , you know from experience that this place will implode if we dare to lose tomorrow.

I know just lots at stake, it is kind of better being outside chasing it pressure wise but when your in those top 3 spots you've then got something to lose.

Huge game tomorrow with who everyone else is playing, if we can win it would be huge. Have to just play the game though rather than get drawn into their hatred of us and get the job done.

Notts County play at Colchester, Bradford are playing Crewe, Doncaster are away at Cheltenham, all games are winnable but these are miles away from being easy!

Tricky ones, Notts County playing their brand of football on Colchester's pitch won't be easy, but Col U have dropped off lately. 

Cheltenham fans feel their side has pretty much given up now and are on the beach.

Crewe don't lose many and need a result so could see them nicking a draw, that said Bradford's home record is ridiculously good and dropped ticket prices again so 22,000 home fans there.

I’m not buying into the idea of pressure. Hear it all the time and in a solo sport like golf, snooker etc I get it. Football is a team game and even with best laid plans, a reactionary sport. Once those players cross the white line muscle memory, training repetition and instructions are all they will be thinking. On paper we have a team of experienced fellas, most look fresh due to DM’s inspirational rotation policy 🤣 early in the season, confidence and no shortage of ability. Once they kick off I fully expect a very workman like performance against a good team. Remember, they have plans too and will be coming to play. As the great heavyweight Apollo Creed once said… be more man than them.

Just to spice it up a bit,I have just been reading a few of their fans comments on one of their FB pages,although a lot would be happy with a draw,they also say they have got an easy run in after this game so will be ok.

There are a few who said they have been watching Vale recently and that we are just a long ball team and their defenders will just head them back all day(food and drink for their defence) having said that one did reply with did you see the goals v Bradford nothing long ball about them. Finally with their squad they should easily be able to beat us

Oh i want this win...... hate walsall obviously not as much as stoke but on a par with crewe i think

Player for player, I'd say both squads are good .

Better than our squad, hang it up on dressing room .

We will see tomorrow .

We ain't daft enough say too much, on our match thread .

We let the Vale players do the talking for us .

Importance of the game is not lost on the Vale supporting public. 

If they gave us double our allocation we would sell the lot .

Long ball in a way we are ,I see Stockley absolutely on top of his game ,Croasdale on top of his game ,Garrity will be back to full pelt tomoz and we have the best midfield player in the league in Byers, who should be back on bench tomoz and Walters who quite frankly has being superb in his 60 min stints then we have Chislett if Vale are flowing this boy has a Louis dodds factor about him (bangs in great goals )..

All in all bring it on 6 games left, players for Vale looking fresh as .

All down to the 1997 tomoz if quiet then thst spreads a nervousness. 

Be loud

A don't think we are completely long ball at all, we mix it up a bit and have some very good footballers in midfield especially. The goals and key chances against Bradford largely came from good footballing moves, both the goals and for example the Croasdale chance.

Yes, and Explode if we win. 👍👍👊

Genuinely never seen that type of warning when booking a train ticket. Is that us?
