63 mins played. 
63% possession.
0 shots on target.

Our problem right there. We frequently break the lines and then turn back allowing the CM defence to regroup, rather than risk losing the ball by pushing forward. Doesn’t help that lamp post installed on the penalty spot would be a bigger goal threat than Stockley.

Chuks on for Stockley.

Could have taken him off and not bothered with a replacement and we would be better off.

Vale player currently getting treatment in their box.

SSN: Vale have won all home games this season when scoring first 

And we haven't won a game in about 30 attempts when conceding first. 

aliwibble

Couple of Vale subs now.

Port Vale have been the better team this half, pressing us really well.

Good quick play by Inniss and Dobson leads to a turn and shot by Chuks, we need to attack more quickly and be less predictable 

ross1

We are going to win at least one cup, what more do you want 😂

BigDiddy

We need JFC on now

Try starting him ffs. Get ahead in the game then take him off. 

Bit like CBT who has done sweet FA since starting.

Another one who so often has the easy pass, but decides to take the opposition on when he's not used as a sub 

Sorry, cant agree with this. CBT has been one of our better players. At least he runs at their defenders & tries to create something.

There is a major problem playing all your football off the defensive midfielder with 2 centre backs who struggle to play football. Inevitably we are held in our final third.

Oakster2

we have we have more than enough players with the ability to take the ball forward with purpose, but it seems the entire team is drilled  to pass sideways or backwards at every opportunity - it’s like watching a whole team full of Keith Jones 

aliwibble

Oof. Clare plays a slightly slow ball to JRS, who goes down under the challenge but the refs not impressed and gives them the throw.

How can you be accused of "drawing a foul" it was a foul,, end of

AndyG

I honestly dont know wtf has happened to him this season but Stockley genuinely looks like a bloke that won a competition to play a game for a league club. Trouble is I think it might be a season pass. 
I actually think we would be better playing literally any striker from our youth team than play him every week

aliwibble

Vale come forward, but Sess does well to lever his man off the ball on the run, so it's out for a goal kick.

Great... I'd watch Athletics if I wanted to see that

He created a great chance in the First Half, and then had a crap shot, all because like Rak-Sakyi he doesnt know how to bloody pass as Kirk was free on the edge of the area

aliwibble

Oh! We play it out of defense and Fraser does well to ride two challenges, but then misjudges his ball to Kirk.

Stockley is finished as a footballer, no chance of going anywhere if he's our striker

Zzzzzzzzzz

Well, its not been tried do far this season. But playing crap & losing after 60 mins has.

I'll be happy to be proved wrong WHEN  IT  IS  TRIED. 

BigDiddy

They look so much better than us.

We look like a non league team.

It’s Port Vale ffs!!

aliwibble

Vale come up the other end, and we look all at sea, but luckily the ball goes wide and we end up getting a free kick for a foul.

aliwibble

Bah. Another forward pass from Fraser not quite what was needed so JRS can't get to it so the keeper lands on it.

BigDiddy

They press, tackle, pass, move, attack, jump, mark our players.

We are so bad its unreal

There were two Kirk crosses in the first half that he didn't even make a token effort to challenge for.  100% he would have done 18 months ago.  Playing him every week is helping no one.

aliwibble

Vale come forward but the shot is blocked by Lavelle, and bobbles back to AMB.

BigDiddy

We could be 0-5 down 

stonemuse

making us look second class

aliwibble

Another shot from Butterworth, but this one blazes over.

aliwibble

AMB's goal kick goes out by the dugouts.

se9addick

Chuks casually pushing another man to the floor with minimal effort is todays highlight!
