Squad looks ok today but a few need mins

Sheehan ?

[Wanderlust]

Either road it's a cracking start. And Schon won his first FK - first of many i reckon.

Every other game bar us 

[Wanderlust]

2 nil. Complete cock up in the PV defence. Vic scores.

[Wanderlust]

Subtastic time. 4 subs on.

TBF Vale have started this half well.

[Wanderlust]

3 Dion

[Zico]

Back up to second favourites at 7/1 

Previously dropped to 4th favourites at 9/1 (maybe 10/1)

[radcliffe white]

3 strikers on the scoresheet good for competition

Brum look very strong TBF - just watching them stuff a strong Baggies team 4 - 1 with 5 mins to go.

Yep solid in all areas

May could get 30 goals with that supply

I'm not Vic's biggest fan, but do think 3 up top could really suit him as long as he's the one in the middle. Can stay near the box and let the 2 others go out wide and be creative. Collins and another (possibly Lolos) either side of him could be the optimal front 3.

In terms of the rest of what I can take from pre season:

-the defensive shape of 5 at the back should be a bit better as Johnston is back so we have 2 left footed options in him and Ireland to play LCB, so less chance for Evatt to stick Toal there which slows everything down

-2 in midfield will be a real struggle against the better teams in our division. Can see us being overrun a few times before we have to change this

[Tonge moor green jacket]

No Dion in there then?

Brave call.

[Marc505]

Good win EIEIEIO

Hopefully the team got away safely!

Didn't know at the time obviously, but probably not the best day to visit Stoke! 😄
