MATCHWATCH : Port Vale (a)

[Brogue]

[Mid Sussex Royal]

Potentially ok, but that defence just has a losing habit, if we lose again I'd like to see changes for Tues..

Wonder what win ratios the Tom's & Yiadom have over the years?

Abbey this weekends mysterious injury?

Abbey this weekends mysterious injury?

Rumours of that being the case

[Royal_jimmy]

Was hoping Dean might start. Can see why we're starting with the side they are.

As for Port Vale I've not heard of a single one of their players.

[Esteban]

Shame for Abbey if he's injured. Is Rushesha injured too? 1, possibly 2 more needed in forward areas, but really pleased to see Vickers on the bench again.

No Bouzanis, I wonder if he might be on his way out?

[Snowflake Royal]

Not much midfield options on the bench.

4-1 reading

[SCIAG]

Not much midfield options on the bench.

In a 4-4-2 it’s more or less the midfield options I’d expect, a central midfielder in Wing, a wide player in Vickers, and one who can do both in Camara.

The lack of a proper forward is more of a concern to me. I guess we can always try to get one of the wingers to play through the middle.

[Snowflake Royal]

Not the highest quality start.

[Pepe the Horseman]

Port Vale are awful.

[Pepe the Horseman]

Carroll looking like he's got a bit of a beer gut going on.

[Brogue]

Penalty

[Brogue]

Missed

[Snowflake Royal]

Stuart Lovell looks different.


Carroll massively telegraphed that, and perfect height, not hit hard.

[Pepe the Horseman]

Ffs

[Pepe the Horseman]

Carroll is gonna be Tim and Mick's escapegoat this season by the sounds of it.

[Brogue]

Keeper was off his line

The bad luck this club gets

[Snowflake Royal]

oxf*rd me, great pull back and Carroll's on his heels, doesn't move and a Vale player steps in to clear it.
