Match Thread Home v Port Vale Dec 29th 7.00pm

Regarding Zelis contract mutual consent is a strong possibility.
We need a fit flying winger not a cameo appearance bench warmer.
Back to the Vale match should be on.Shackle the usual pain in the posterior Pope and victory is ours for the taking.

 

Tom Pope has Paudie O'Connor's back pocket written all over him.

 

Hope so, Paudie seems to thrive on marking strikers with a reputation

 

Liked it when we were underdogs and not expecting much. Suddenly the expectation is on us to get the points. Let's hope we approach this in the same way as the last 4 games.

 

Ain't it weird, actually looking forward to watching City, it may not end up being the result we all want tonight but at least I think we can be assured of effort and desire now...

 

And a coherent formation and players who understand what they are supposed to do, with and without the ball.

 

Is the game in any danger today? Had a lot of rain these last few days and snow now. What’s the pitch like at VP these days?

 

Defensively Bolton are awful

 

Should be ok, won't be any lying snow down there, we're 200m up and there's only a couple of cm's

 

Don't underestimate PV like us they are in a false postion. I certainly wouldn't write them off as play off contenders just yet either.

 

They seem to have no trouble banging the goals in away from home. Six at Bolton and three at Walsall in a 4-3 defeat. Need to be on our defensive mettle.

 

There is no one to fear in this division, it was only because of McCall that we got to the stage of thinking everyone was level above us, when in truth they weren't.

 

They look an athletic side with some big units across the pitch.
Can see Donaldson starting again like on Saturday.

 

Vale like us earlier in the season and last season have a lot of injuries which makes a big difference to results

 

Are we definitely on for tonight. Ground is frozen solid in North Leeds

 

I felt like that ahead of the Tranmere game, which for some reason seems like one of the tougher ties despite their mediocre league position.

 

Simon Parker just posted a photo of a very cold looking Valley Parade.
No suggestion of the game being in danger.

 

Stevenage are winning.

We're not out of the woods yet, fellas.

 

With our good form and Stevenage currently winning. Ryan will be breathing on the pitch to keep it from freezing if he has too.

This game is on.
