Re: Port Vale Match Thread.

Thought there were a few positives from the game,and despite going down to ten men after five minutes,we frustrated them and could have easily scored in the first half.
They had two good centre forwards in Pope and Hughes,together with two fast and direct wingers.
We limited there chances by disciplined defending,forcing them to play around us.
Indeed,there first and only corner in the first half was in the 40 min.
The second half was different,and they moved us around,trying to pull the centre backs out of position,and getting runners in.
Also they started to get crosses in,by the fullbacks joining in and we started to tire.
It was a decent effort against the top of the league,and with ten men.
Only real moan was we need a defensive midfielder to plug gaps and be a "ratter",and someone who can make chances/score goals.
Plus points,murph was up against a very fast and direct lad,and he stayed on his feet,and generally controlled him.
If we played that badly,why did there crowd boo them off at half time?,there is a lot to build on IMHO
