Absolutely battered them second half. Their red card was a stinker, but how did Blackpool's number 5 stay on? He committed 3 fouls after picking up a yellow, so swings and roundabouts!

The subs Hall and Curtis were magnificent. They should both be starting every week for me. Find a system that suits them both. Byers ran the game when there was more space on the pitch but he needs to be doing that against 11 men. Shipley is improving all the time too and looked a player today.

Do we change were it not for the red ?

At last a smile on faces though. 

5 is dreamland. 

I think he changes anyway because we were losing at the time of the red.

10 points because of the goal difference 

Not really, because our GD will improve when we are winning games to pick up the 9 points.  We've already made a big dent in that today.

Beat a not in great form Barnsley next up and we're kinda back in the race to stay up.....

Only 9 points off safety now.  This is definitely on.

Exactly so.

And the many narrow losses mean our goal difference is competitive against the other bottom half teams.

Haven't yet written off my top half finish bet ... 🙂

Am looking forward to seeing Ian Evatts post match interview. This should be entertaining at least, am sure he’ll take this in good spirit.

Tight league, only 6 winners today. Definitely a game of 2 halves  at VP

Confidence is everything.

Well done Vale. Enjoyed watching that. 

Bring on Barnsley!!

Still have the game in hand too

I would offer you better odds on John Lennon parachuting into the stadium with the ball for kick off than Vale scoring a goal.

Not on Burton though, unfortunately.

I’m sat in a bar in Belgium with Bowers in my ear. Every goal that’s gone in I’ve jumped out of my seat in front of about 400 locals thinking what the <ovf censored> is this guy on. Leffe blonde all round for everyone. What a result. What an indictment on Darren Bore Moore. I know they were down to 10, but Curtis shines. 
 

let’s get to work now Vale. Less of a mountain to climb and only Mow Cop

Don't expect much coverage on Radio Stoke. The <ovf censored> have won, let the Stokie love in commence....

Yes, getting the winless/goalless monkey off our back was important today.
