Re: Port Vale (home)

First full game I was able to catch this year. Seen glimpses and thought this was a slight improvement.

I liked what I saw of Batty. Not the most skilful player, but well suited to playing in a five-man back line.

But our central midfielders are not particularly suited for this line-up. With two wide men, the central guys will have to do a lot of running AND show some creative skill. You can’t expect Seamus to do a lot of running at his age, so the other guy Khumbeni will have to it for him. Seamus knows where to stand on the field, but must find a guy in a red shirt occasionally. Neither of them were very good Yesterday I thought.

And losing a two goal lead in injury time after refusing to use the substitutes does not reflect well on the manager's coaching imho. Sad also because I thought the back line did quite well until everybody tired at the end.
