Welcome back Mitch. Shame Byers can’t make it. Think the bench has far better balance this week.

Gutting to be missing Byers and John on recent form. Good chance for Croasdale and Clark to step up though. Utv!

Yeah Byers is the big one. It’s always amazed me some haven’t seen what he brings to this team but there is a huge drop off just in terms of ball retention between him and Croasdale. Not knocking Croasdale as I do like him but I don’t think that can be argued.

Clark will get injured. 

Like Croasdale a lot gets in there .

M Clark well wasnt expecting ,has ability but hope is final ball is better than he as shown so far 

Shame about Byers 

Will head up in 20 mins 

Lets see how it pans out 

The bench has better balance if need replace anyone should imagine MClark for 60 then lomax /Debrah thereafter id go with lomax we have to win the game ,cannot have defensive substitutions .

Big game start it like your lives depend on it (PLAYERS)and crowd do your best i know its hard but  ENCOURAGEMENT the key 

Cannot predict score only had 5 hours sleep and in tonight lets hope the afternoon trek too VP is a enjoyable 1

UTV

You are clearly already sick.

Please would you and your various alter egos go and do something constructive for your own team.

Ahhh here's Mr positive....just like the Grinch at Christmas ⛄ 🤣 🤣 

Wow Clark straight into starting the 11 

Is that a 433 or a 4231?

Definitely a 4-2-3-1 to me.

One thing that might come into play the pitch down the Hamil side looks like it’s going to cut up pretty badly. Knowing how Luke Williams likes to play this MIGHT play into our hands.

Come on Vale 🙏

Letd gooooo!!! 

UTV 💪 

Probably the best team from the players available I think.

 

 not  expecting much in terms of creativity from Walters or croasdale but they should be able to keep things tight in front of the back 4. Hopefully paton can drop back a bit and pick out the runners in cole waine and hall and headley and mitch can proved a few decent quality crosses.

 

3-1 win, there ive stuck my neck out 😁

Great to see Clark back, hope he’s fully fit and not rushed back in, he makes a massive difference when playing. 

Just looked at the table after Burton drew and Blackpool won. We look certs. If we lose today, Moore should be in a taxi at 5 o’clock 

Without further comment or speculating why this crowd looks sparse.

Come on Vale ⚽️⚽️⚽️

<ovf censored> start to the afternoon with Blackpool’s win. We have to win today.

Must not lose.

Huge responsibility on Walters today… he need to step up.
