    At least Tom Pope wont be around to cause havoc. Yes tough match, but they all seem to be this season.

    I don't think it's that lucky.

    They've beaten us once in their last six visits -

    Perplexed. Pretty much a friendly match now with nothing to play for.

    They have a lot still to play for.
    4 points off 7th with 2 games in hand.

    It’s a match to continue building momentum and for players to continue impressing the manager. There’s a lot to play for and I for one am looking forward to the game

    Realy looking forward to Saturday and my lad, who has been really down on city, this past few months is buzzing for the game.
    I have had to literally drag him down on match days and thats not easy when he's 25 and as big as me.
    He is covinced we will get promoted next year.

    Haven’t we always done well against Vale? Seem to remember that lean spell under Parky where I think we’d only won 1 game in 22 and then we beat them with an injury time header by Carl McHugh? think Parky was close to the sack at that time

    Only danger with City is they build our hopes up and sadly let us down.

    last two performances was like watching a different team. We actually look threatening on the ball, few poor passes in the final third. But, overall now enjoyable to watch.

    If we can finish the season on a high keep some of our better players and have some foundation to build on for next season who knows what we can achieve.

    Actually the facts seem to dispute your assertion. Their away form is not that great at all! Over the last four away games, no wins and 17th in the table.
    So no major reason to be unduly anxious. For sure approach the game with respect, but not in awe of them.

    Remember it like it was yesterday. Andrew Davies had his usual 3 month injury layoff which coincided with our slump in forum which lead to us not winning in 3 months, till that McHugh header

    With Walker returning to the squad and hopefully Vernam too, I'm looking forward to seeing a confident side full of attacking intent and trickery. The whole squad look confident on the ball at the moment and are putting in 6s, 7s & 8s rather than the 3s, 4s & 5s under Adams. If we can maintain this trajectory of performances into next season, Valley Parade will be rocking again.

    Lets say we see Vernham back and he’s a starter ( I doubt, rather a sub)

    Cook up top , Pereira and Vernham making up the wide players of the three, doesn’t that potentially weaken the middle though? I can’t see Vernham getting about like Walker and Evans?

    Impact 2nd half substitute is my guess of Vernham’s matchday role?

    I wonder if that includes port vale tickets? Whilst it's great that there is a buzz about the place again, I'd be shocked if we gained 1500 walk ups, on the back of this week

    How would we know how many Port vale had sold in the past 24hrs, unless they are giving us daily updates which i doubt.
    Also their tickets have been on sale a while, so why would they have a rush, surely that many have not suddenly decided to turn up on saturday

    I would say poor passes in the final third could also be construed as trying to make something happen. No point in having skilled players who can pass and not allowing them to take a risk.

    I note we have the dubious pleasure of Mr. Darren Drysdale as referee for this match.
