Mo Faal starts for the Valiants.

Midfield needs to be on it picking up second balls from his first touch.

That might be the job for Bailey today, just in front of the back 4
Title: Re: Vale V TLOD
Post by: steve@dcfd on August 23, 2025, 02:14:14 pm
When Bailey and Broadbent were together Tuesday night they were superb as soon as Broadbent went off and Crew came on the midfield wasn’t as good. Ajayi didn’t do himself any good either.
Can’t see why Ironside is not given a chance especially with Middleton on the left.

I’d like to see Middleton , molly and gibbo behind sharp and keep interchanging, they would cause any team at this level problems
Title: Re: Vale V TLOD
Post by: Barmby Rover on August 23, 2025, 02:22:58 pm
Ajayi is always more of a threat than Joe, he is too slow and spends his time giving a wrestling match with centre halves without looking to score.

Vale keeper looks like Micky Murphy from Camberwick Green.
Title: Re: Vale V TLOD
Post by: PDX_Rover on August 23, 2025, 03:12:57 pm
We’ve started well. Better team so far. Vale doing some good work stopping our wingers though.

We’ve been putting the smallest bloke on the pitch to mark Faal on corners
Title: Re: Vale V TLOD
Post by: Barmby Rover on August 23, 2025, 03:23:20 pm
The stats would say PV on top at the moment.

Post by: goalkick on August 23, 2025, 03:27:17 pm
Difficult to see where a goal will come from for us.
Title: Re: Vale V TLOD

Losing it in midfield
Title: Re: Vale V TLOD

Same old, same old. 0 shots on target, PV 3
Title: Re: Vale V TLOD
Post by: Sprotyrover on August 23, 2025, 03:33:09 pm
Hopefully the Goal will come from one of our players!
Title: Re: Vale V TLOD
Post by: DonnyRover on August 23, 2025, 03:33:43 pm
So lucky it’s still 0-0
Title: Re: Vale V TLOD
Post by: GazDRFC on August 23, 2025, 03:33:51 pm
Can't keep the ball, TLT keeping us in it, big double save

Defensively we are all over the shop
Title: Re: Vale V TLOD

Can I ask which of the posters here are actually at the game?  Just out of interest..
Title: Re: Vale V TLOD
Post by: PDX_Rover on August 23, 2025, 03:36:56 pm
Port Vale playing very well. We’re second best everywhere. Some work from Grant to do… It’s a shame Ironside isn’t even on the bench. I’d have given him a go today, off the bench.
Title: Re: Vale V TLOD
Post by: Barmby Rover on August 23, 2025, 03:37:38 pm
Rovers are not getting out of their half without a loose pass giving it away.
Title: Re: Vale V TLOD
Post by: dknward2 on August 23, 2025, 03:37:51 pm
Just had a bet on port vale to score next so that should at least get us the nil nil draw
Title: Re: Vale V TLOD
Post by: Barmby Rover on August 23, 2025, 03:38:43 pm
We need to get to HT at 0-0 and regroup.
Title: Re: Vale V TLOD
Post by: Alan Southstand on August 23, 2025, 03:41:27 pm
Their keeper has not had to make a save….yet!
Title: Re: Vale V TLOD

Looks like it's time for TLT to go down with cramp.
Title: Re: Vale V TLOD
Post by: ForsolongaRover on August 23, 2025, 03:43:38 pm
We seem to be missing the Sterry/Molyneux partnership.
Title: Re: Vale V TLOD
Post by: jmt23 on August 23, 2025, 03:45:49 pm
McGrath and Molly are well off it again, but we are not great as a unit so far either. A bit leggy and slow, the press is not really there
Title: Re: Vale V TLOD
Post by: Nudga on August 23, 2025, 03:47:56 pm
Well that was absolutely dog shit. Every single one of them are well off it.
Title: Re: Vale V TLOD
Post by: Prez on August 23, 2025, 03:48:30 pm
That was very very poor. Lucky not to be 2 down. Changes need to be made.
Title: Re: Vale V TLOD
Post by: Filo on August 23, 2025, 03:48:46 pm
Poor first half, lucky to be level McGrath is a red card waiting to happen, can’t handle the lad with pace
Title: Re: Vale V TLOD
Post by: Scooter on August 23, 2025, 03:50:48 pm
I’m at the game. Changes needed. Timmy has kept us in this. O’Riordan is doing ok, the other defenders look like they have just met each other

Molyneux is having a poor game and we have zero goal threat.

We could/should be three down
Title: Re: Vale V TLOD
Post by: goalkick on August 23, 2025, 03:52:40 pm
That was poor will need some changes at half time McGrath  having a shocker.

Maybe if someone scuffs a shot that's going wide and it goes in off one of their defenders.

I said coming back from the Wycombe match, we’ll play worse and win..

Post by: Barmby Rover on August 23, 2025, 04:06:33 pm
They are doing a high press an we are wilting under it, there needs to be a break lobbing it over to them but it needs pace, Ajayi maybe?

I'd probably replace Clfiton and Sharp at this point.

Attacking Substitutes that have come on have not proved they are worth a start as yet apart from Middleton against Wycombe not seen it .

This ref has been s so poor, he has given us yellows for non fouls , told players to leave the pitch when they have not requested physios and not done the same for vale, so so poor.

I said coming back from the Wycombe match, we’ll play worse and win..

Bump..

10 points from 5 games after promotion, plus the cup win at Boro, and still looking to bring a striker in.

Not a bad start eh.?

Left home at half time so saw we made changes and just expected some at last 10 mins but good to see it out and keeps some that fresher ready for Tuesday so expect a few attacking changes doubt billy will be playing as did a full 90 today

In his post match interview Moore must have used word “impetus” about ten times.
