waffer cup 07 Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 Port Vale fans are great at booing anything and everything, but don't get behind their team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boogs Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 Hard fought but well earned three points. Clinging on for lat 20 mins. First away day for a while and just glad we got a return from it. Also good to briefly meet @royal white in the pub before the game. Enjoy your evening mate 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farnywhite Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 The two subs held the ball up last 10 and took a lot of pressure off . the lack off being able to change the midfield in the second half could of cost us all 3 especially Dempsey kept giving the ball away in bad areas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aldo Raine said: A huge win, not just because of their good early form but also in the circumstances of our injury troubles Absolutely. They defended so well in the 2nd half. For all their intent in the 2nd half Port Vale didn’t really create 1 clear cut chance. Hope we have less talk about fitness, squad players not being good enough to get us points in this league and Evatt making excuses. Win on Tuesday and the league table will be looking pretty good after 10 games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulhanley Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 That's the type of win that's required if you're serious about the top two. The Reading game was the opposite. You'd hope that the Reading game led to the learning that went in to getting that result over the line today. Now it needs replicating several more times. To continue to prove they have what it takes there can be no "after the lord mayor's show" on Tuesday. A scruffy 1-0 win would be fine. Saturday/Tuesday/Saturday - great and determination as well as the skill and the quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TM Trotter Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 Great result, excellent first half but would have loved us to have tested the keeper more. Proper resolve as the game went on, fantastic. Thought the 2700 of us in the away end gave a decent account too. Dion's goal well taken of course, but in general, I thought Nlundulu did really well at holding up and distributing - may have found his niche. Excited for the week now!

Was linking up play nicely in first half when we were on top, he was seeing plenty of the ball and got a couple of shots away. Then in the 2nd half he did what he didn’t do against Wigan, he tracked back, he hassled, tried to break up play, getting a booking for his efforts.

Wanderlust Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 I know this may sound like sacrilege to some, but currently Dan is better at holding up the ball and playing others in than Bod ATM. Ball is sticking to him and he's holding off defenders like a good 'un whereas Bod has struggled to do that both today and on Tuesday. Obviously Bod is the better finisher and more complete striker and Dan doesn't shoot enough, but there are phases of games when the other stuff - including Dan's superior workrate and target man skills - are needed, especially playing Evatt's way. Dan's improving and I can see why Evatt picks him in Vic's absence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted September 30, 2023 Site Supporter Share Posted September 30, 2023 Bod made a big difference against Peterborough, and held it up quite well. Released some pressure. Hanging on at the end a bit in both games, so likely that neither of the two would get too much of the ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captainmed Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 First half totally in control. Second half not at all. We have a prolific striker and he’s won it for us. It negates the Reading result as we prob deserved 1.5 points from each. Glad to get back without aquaplaning on the M6. Horrific driving conditions. Win the next 2 home games and it’s been an excellent start before the international break, especially considering the injuries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mounts Kipper Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 Solid performance today, the back 3 and Baxter were were excellent, Cogley excellent going forward and though Morley had great game, 3 home games upcoming and 9 points would be fantastic.

The home/away imbalance is extraordinary. I know cancellations play a part but I've bever seen this before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
