Jake Eastwood has been confirmed to be out for at least 6 months with a severed patella tendon after ripping it on something hanging off the inside of the goalpost.

Horrible injury for him and just about sums up our luck in general with injuries.

Is it that bad? I've seen us win 4 or 5 times there, all be it since the turn of the Century and think we won 3 times in my first 3 visits there which probably pushes up the total!

Been thew last 10 times actually, W4 D1 L5 so not too bad. Had the infamous Micky Adams transfer listing the squad one though!

I didn't start going to away games, like week in, week out, until 2008, so I missed all those.

Seen us win there once and got a 0-0 if I remember rightly. Seen us lose 3-1 when Lee Hughes dicked us, 4-2 when Jamie Forrester took the piss one day, another 4-2 where we just couldn't handle Jamal Campbell-Ryce, the little shitebag, and Jimmy Spencer too! Jack Grealish played that day, I'm sure? I remember a 1-0 defeat after an horrendous penalty decision late on. Think Jon Stead scored it, if my memory serves me well?

Tough one for us at Donny tomorrow. I reckon we'll struggle for the next few weeks missing a number of the spine of our team.

If we play like we did Saturday I wouldn’t worry

Good challenge away to Walsall tomorrow. Fleetwood continue to steadily improve but need to be tested by the top teams. Losing Medley ( out all season ) and Holgate allows other players to step up to the mark so far their absence has not been too keenly felt. A draw tomorrow will be a really good result
Now a question for you Walsall fans. When we last played you which is a good few years ago,you had a top old fashioned centre forward who was real quality. I'm trying to remember his name,something like Potts ?? Who was it ?

 

[codaplenty]

Unfortunately not, I've been waiting on a pretty important medical procedure and the NHS deciding to book me in for the morning of one of the only two Town games within an hour of where I live which was nice of them so I had to choose between waking up in severe pain down in my nether regions and feeling somewhat confused and deflated...or missing watching Town and having the operation!

Hope the procedure goes well for you mate

Remember all those! My first ever Vale game was at Notts in 2001! Stevie Brooker won it late on during that mad unbeaten run we had.

Recall Grealish playing as Richard Duffy pretty much snapped him in half with a challenge and could of… probably should of seen red.

The 0-0 was our last visit, battered them and couldn’t find the winner though but it set the foundation for Askeys run which got us out of trouble as they went down. Proper mixed bag of memories there.

March 2019 the season we were relegated from League one so it was probably Andy Cook at a guess.

Hope it goes well SoC.

Over the last 20 years there have been many occasions when I have woken up confused and deflated after watching Town the previous day…

And I’m not there tomorrow, too much of a trek after work even from the East Mids.
I’ll be represented by my son, who is driving up from his army base by himself to be there. Born in Limerick, when I worked there, near where the original Limerick Mariner, the holy Joe Waters, started out on his football career. I’ve clearly brought him up well…or led him badly astray some might say…
