'Shots 1 - Vale 3 Post Match Comments

[andy jones]

I can remember the Aldershot night match when the SC coach driver was dead noughty whenbeing asked if he knew the way - they were passing Gatwick at the time.

 

The fans were too frightened of him to ask again until they entered Brighton I believe.

 

They got to Aldershot in time for the last 10 minutes or so.

 

I was at the game (not by SC bus) and remember one lad asking the copper on the motorbike after the match if he had got a chain ? The cop asked why and got the reply 'to tie it to the bus so we dunna get lost again'

That was our last promotion, and 20 games in........

 

Wouldn't it be amazing if we could be another Reading over the NEXT years 😏

Have to say as a very happy with 3 points, but as a game of football it was quite forgettable.

RAF - what you doing watching Stoke today?

[DoyDoyDoy]

Whats the odds on us scoring 100 goals this season? Will be 101 based on the strike rate so far....

[Silfver]

Great performance today. Only 26 games to go before we're back in League One! Keep the faith.

No Mate watching the Vale, don't get me wrong cracking result and very happy as its the first time I have personally seen them win this season.

 

But it was not the most memorable game of football I have ever watched. Neither team looked like they were ever in control or likely too a grip on the game. Bland would be the best word to describe it.

 

Still 3 points is 3 points and second spot in the table is all good stuff, so a very happpy bloke tonight.

I thought the Vale were a class above Aldershot, always dangerous in attack and the defence was only tested for their goal.Don't remember Neal having a save to make.Difficult conditions and 3 points well won.

[Burt]

They spread the play out well in the first half, but we left too much space. Yates was caught out a couple of times, but had a solid second half. I never really worried after our second - even with their 10-15 minutes of pressure before the penalty, I never felt they came too close to scoring.

 

BTW - did Neal actually do anything?

 

Also, what were the officials playing at? Throw-in/corner decisions wrong, them fouling us 5 times in a row with nothing given when they were blatant etc. Really poor display.

[Burt]

According to their forum, the officials gave us everything!! Mental - it was 50/50 really, but if anything I felt they missed a lot of fouls on pope all game...sure I'll have missed our fouls on them though, bias and that.

[Tenement Funster]

Good solid 3 points that in difficult conditions. It is the kind of away game we should be winning if we're serious about gaining promotion but no game is easy in this league.

Bang....great peno by Jeno! So happy with this season!
