Anthony Grant starts for Vale.

Worrall benched

For Weston? Shome mishtake, shurely?

 

[bazzashrimper]

Why drop wozza?

 

[Leoblue]

No sub keeper? Seems odd considering we can have 7 on the bench.

 

[HudsonNo1]

Fancied Weston for a start soon but not In place of worrall, don't see that being beneficial at all when worrall can create so much and open up so much space. Thought he would be started alongside worrall and maybe drop the undroppable (Lenny) have two wingers with deegs and Tims in the middle, don't think dropping o'neil is really fair either. Won't be unhappy to see white back though.

Yeah also pleased to see White back in the starting line up, I know Weston got off his mark finally on Tuesday but I still believe his best used as an impact sub. Perhaps instead of bringing him on with 20 or 30 minutes to go, I would have thought PB would have have given him the 2nd 45 mins with a half time change, if things were'nt going our away.

Other than, Im quite happy with the set up.

Wonder if Williams will get some minutes today? Surprised not to see P Smith on the bench. Who takes keeping duties if Bents gets injured? Prosser?

How often do keepers get injured and can't continue? It's very rare and and one off. Maybe P. Smith has a knock

It's understandable not having a keeper on the bench with 5 subs, but when you have 7 what's the harm?

Like I said, maybe Smith isn't in shape or is injured?

We've only got 1 striker on the bench so even with 7 were light in certain areas

Only one person to blame for that! If he knew Hunt wasn't going to be fit why hasn't he looked at getting a striker in on loan? If he's not going to give Williams a chance we need to look at bringing in a striker on loan.

I was thinking the same. P Smith must have a knock...

Hasn't AW played up front before when he was at Colchester.

Hunt seems to be a game by game injury. He should be back soon. No one is going to come in on a one or two week loan. Especially just to be on our bench.
