Curtis has to start, he was unplayable when he came on and that strike was a stunner. Ruari did well too, them two are just mad and compliment each other.

Phew! Fully deserved point but made that hard for ourselves, for all the positives defensively Monday to concede that goal tonight was horrific, after that it was all one way traffic and the subs again made a positive impact but looked like we had run out of time. That three minutes must have...

Well of the pace tonight, seem rusty, we have moments but no real periods of pressure and have been sloppy in dangerous areas and been lucky to get away with it. Need a roasting at half time and maybe get Richard’s or BBB on to give us some pace, it’s slow and laboured.

No resting Stockley for the weekend he starts with Tolaj, big boost Kyle John is back after two months out, Nathan Smith makes a rare start after personal problems but still no Byers just yet so makeshift central midfield partnership, with Connor Grant or Tom Sang there (one at Wing Back could...

Should be decent that one from us, at the moment its not showing on Sky despite not being a 3pm Saturday kick off which is interesting? Boxing Day and NYD are.

is it: Sat 26th October was our last Saturday league home game since then 2nd Nov - FA Cup weekend 9th Nov - Away at Gillingham 16th Nov - Away at Morecambe 23rd Nov - No game - Moved v Crewe to Monday night 30th Nov - No game Dec 7th - Walsall - only Saturday game (12:30pm KO too!) Dec 14th -...

Hopefully push 11,000-11,500 plus for this one, no weekend home league game for 8 weeks either side and got 8k home fans for Monday night on sky so surely we will see that many again, would be disappointed if not, 20,000 plus for 2 home games to give DM a bigger war chest in January would be a...

But that may have been the blue print, if any scouts watched what we did then surely teams will know if they mid block, as long as the defend Jatta well (granted not always possible) then you can keep you relatively quiet? Also noted you were very fragile on the break against us and looking at...

But thats the point, it was doing the same thing time and time again and it didn't work, Jatta forced Ripley into one decent save from it. Surely if its not working with someone big like Jatta you try what we did with Stockley and get it long and hope someone can pick up the pieces of it for...

The problem with Notts is they seem so one dimensional, where did Maynard come from? Its almost like Crosby with us last season, loads of possession but no plan B. Even into the dying embers chasing the game Notts never changed the approach, all slow passing play, when you'd be expecting them to...

Cheltenham away, bit of a bogey team for us last season, all be it the start of the obvious decline was made evident in the first meeting, so owe them one here I would say! Potentially massive boost for us with talk that George Byers, Kyle John and Mitch Clark came through a behind closed doors...

Decent pair of results for us there (Fleetwood I still think are dark horses). Caught the second half of Crewe game, fairly scrappy, great block to keep it from being 2-0 and minutes later a silly tackle to make in the box with the player not really in a dangerous position. Carlisle battled...

Yeah it was always Whitsun Bank Holiday end of May, with most of my family and mates being Leicester at that time they generally used to seem to be in that final every season! (4 in 5) with a relegation from the top flight in between! Proper yo-yo side at the time under Brian Little and Mark McGhee.

We had 4 really good games with them, lost 2 won 2 that season but they played some good stuff in the league game at VP before Mad Cov pretty much threw any chance we had away! I expected them to really push on after that play off night and was surprised to see they'd struggled since.

It works for some and not for others though, for every Lincoln, Notts and Chesterfield there is a Rushden and Diamonds, Macc Town or Darlington. Its as you say largely down to luck with owners, you fell on good owners, we luckily did just after scraping survival twice and clubs like the fore...

Not at all, we all have rivalries, fall outs etc at this level, its part of the story but we all go on the same journey of suffering most weeks for our various teams at these levels and need all our clubs to be there for the local communities and the fans who have been part of it for generations...

I dont personally as it has been 5-6 years since Carol came in but was closely tied to the supporters club so best bet would be to go through them: https://portvalesupporters.co.uk/ (Contact details are on there) and I am sure they will point you to the right place, I am sure they'd be happy to...

Worth a go, twice we had the "Black and Gold" set up to oust our owners and its finally seemed to have worked and given us stability.

Just shows no bankers in this league, makes our point a decent one I guess after last night's results.

They looked decent against us but really struggled, not ideal and obviously not going to get many positive feedback from Vale fans, felt like if Carol didnt bail us out we’d probably be gone or at best non league.
