Port Vale (A) Sat 23rd January, 3pm

I think i will be watching this one, i have a feeling it will have a bit more of an edge to it, i wonder if the players get as excited as us fans at it being a derby ?

If they don’t get excited every game about being paid for playing a sport they love then they are in the wrong job in my opinion.Should be a good one though as you say I’m guessing I’ll cave in around 2.50pm.

Let’s see what the fuss about this Wright is shall we.

I did a very witty ‘bolster’ pun. Nada. Zip.:expressionless:

Nolan must be injured.Poor lad after two good performances.It will be interesting to see Wright play though .I see Bates is back in replacing Sinclair.

See you have 4-2-3-1. How about 4-2-4 and do what the game is about score goals. Oh sorry it’s 2021 and DC is the manager not Buckley.

Vale 11 looks much weaker than December game. No Tom Pope which is half the battle won and Devante Rodney who’s been in good form this season also not involved in 18.

Fancy a win here now.

I’ll be having a few beers as it will cushion the blow if we loose

Good chance for Wright though as Vale Park is a big old pitch so plenty of chances for counter attacks if you can pass it quickly enough to stretch play.

If DC shoves Gordon or Osadebe on the wing instead of Wright I shall be a tad grumpy.

Well at least Wright gets to start the other two on bench. UTS.

Where"s the tinkering? Is DC unwell?

I suppose it will happen during the game.

Just been listening to wm in the car and they had an interview with Nolan on sounds a level headed kid WM themselves have no information as to why he’s not at the ground hope DC hasn’t just dropped him.

If the starting XI comes from the magic sorting hat, I think DC gets his formations from Countdown - “I’ll have 1 from the top line please Carol, 2 from the middle, and the rest from anywhere!”

I know where you are coming from. I often ask my self the question “Duvet appreciate my superior punning skills on here”

WM’s pre-match intwtviews are usually recorded so may well have been from a few days ago not real time.
