Nice cross from CBT bird miss kicks and chance is gone

Not sure about that offside against CBT, looked like he accelerate past the defenders

Hourihane is going to replace him

Adams goes down after bursting down the wing. Hope that’s not serious

Who’s this mysterious man coming onto the pitch?

Goal scorer Gayle off for Wags

confidence too

Nice control and finish from Sibs

Warning shot there. Take note Derby

HT 2-0 Good score line in what’s been a strange half. We started well created a few good chances. Then PV’s keeper goes down and they change their shape and take control of the game with us being slow to react as usual, luckily we sucker punched them to give us a bit of breathing room. We should be taking this lot to the cleaners, they are seriously poor!

Boooooooooooom Gayle header from a lovely Adams cross

Don’t temp him, he loves a good poohousing

Gayle is looking very isolated, we just don’t have the players around him to utilise his talents.

Good defending from Bird cuts out the danger. That back 3 is looking very shaky at the moment

PV would have scored there if Nelson wasn’t switched on to clear it

It’s all gone a bit scrappy. PV getting into the game but at the moment very poor in the final third. Got to get back on top here

Yeah that “injury” was clearly to disrupt our flow

Port vale’s keeper randomly throws himself on the ground stopping play

Barks misses a bit of a sitter, NML flicks on Wards cross and Barks fires over

Barks put NML in and the keeper saves at his feet, he gets the ball to bird who’s shot is saved by the keeper

Great corner from Sibs Adams heads over. Should have scored

Have to say their 16 year old looks like he might give Ward a difficult afternoon

Get in Sibs shot took a deflection and goes in

Yep, at home to Port vale one of those 3 CB’s needs to be sacrificed for an attacking midfielder as a minimum

Hopefully it lines up in a more offensive shape than it looks on paper, but I must admit it’s a bit underwhelming.
