Thought Nolan had a better game tonight, seemed to win a lot of 50 50 balls in midfield, and involved in the build up to both goals. Don't think we were far off a decent performance for large parts last night, main problem felt the passing was hit just behind a player a lot, so turning the man around and allowing vale to close us down, also some passing under hit. Need to win 2 in a row now to consolidate our position.

- Start date
Link doesn't work in Lanzarote Mark !...thanks all the same !
Chin up !.. On Stanley On !!.
A.
have a good un mate.
didn,t go but sounded like a bit of luck on our side. if they,d have been third in the league and we were struggling the luck would have been with them. always seems to go this way.
Show off!!
Virtually a quarter of season played now and we average 2pts a game, if we maintain that fer the season, History will be made,
If we just maintain it for the next 4 games, against the Vogons
then 3 teams in the play-off places 
, I'll be ecstatic!After Forest Green the next 3 fixtures will give us a good idea i think 3 really hard matches.If we just maintain it for the next 4 games, against the Vogons
Kudos to Dave in Germany for his most excellent match report.
Chevy - I think the thing about Rawson is that like the other defenders he rarely puts a foot wrong but also his head is on a lot of high balls.
Reading the Port Vale thread and The Don and Clark appeared to be players singled out for praise. They really rate their new left back (I thought he was outstanding for an hour) and, of course, how they would love Coley as their manager.
I ran to the ground from Stoke train station. Jesus, unremitting 3.5 miles of uphill through some very drab areas. Someone last night told me theirs is the second highest ground in England. If I'd known that I'd have got a taxi.

I agree about Nolan too. He's quietly improving and was effective last night.
Third, according to this:
The Highest and Lowest Stadiums (England and Wales) - Midfield Dynamo.
And only 4 feet above the Wham. I suppose it all depends on your starting point.
vale must like being 2nd as i think at one time they had the 2nd largest playing area in england.
Their pitch is massive and too much space between terrace and pitch. Feels like you are miles away from the action.
it actually worse years ago when it was very open and looked like a mini version of the old wembley when i first went there in the late 50,s.
