Update on Vale Blog:

"The defence can't be blamed for today. Their second was a superb move, and a great finish worthy of a higher level, and the first was nothing to do with them. I felt very sorry for them infact. The biggest positive for me was the midfield pairing of Davidson and Griffith. The latter is exactly the type of tenacious midfielder we need at this level, and Davidson has an incredible engine, and was the only midfielder who had any kind of initiative to attempt to break Accrington's defensive line."

"Second half we unbelievably managed to do even less, and Stanley's second goal was not only deserved but was a work of art. Pass and move football ended with a fabulous finish."

"I thought that their no 9 Clarke was excellent, he showed the passion and fire"

"Accrington have a good away record and clearly have their system sorted"

"Very, Very harsh to say he has any fault for the second goal, It was as good a finish as you will see in league two, and thoroughly deserved the applause it got from the Vale fans"

"We were given a harsh lesson in league 2 football -Outplayed and outfought by a side the "pundits" reckon will struggle this season - I thought Acc Stanley "who are they?" were better than us in every position from Goalkeeper to Center Forward."
