Exiles thread - Port Vale (A)

[soloman]

Port vale don't look as awful as I expected. We are the better team so far but might be a hard one to get back into should they grab a goal.

Not sure what you expected but they are dire.

There are no excuses for coming home without the three points….

What an ass you are

[EliotNes]

We are lucky to be playing, one match in L1 postponed and another abandoned after 10 mins due to water logged pitches. It's persisting down in the Hamlet of Hornchurch as I write.

[Rich Tea Wellin]

We are so sloppy tonight. Forde looks shattered and is giving the ball away whilst not tracking back

That first half showed up Sotirious weakness. He got one on one with a defender at least twice and fell over both times. Ageyi probably would have scored both times.
Doesn’t help the refs forgot his whistle

[Beradogs]

Galbraith and El Miz playing well.

[cymruO]

Very dominant first half but lacking quality in that final third. In spite of watching the match I thought Moncur wasn't on the pitch.

[Hoover Attack]

El Miz and Brown (assisted by James and Galbraith who keep on tucking in Trent Alexander style) are absolutely dominating the midfield.

Moncur and Ruel both quiet otherwise we’d already be out of sight.

At least one of those was a foul.

But yeah, Agyei would have been through on goal.

[cockhat]

Referee and assistants are really poor!

[EliotNes]

Anyone know if RW's touchline ban means he can't go in the dressing room at half-time?

We know what happens next

I think the answer is no he can’t.

[i8ubutler]

No he can't or no he can ?

[cockhat]

No he can't or no he can ?

He can’t!

[Hoover Attack]

This ref is as bad as them

[EliotNes]

We are missing Dan Aggy, he has sharper and stronger elbows than either Ruel or Shaq, to muscle his way past defenders.

[i8ubutler]

This ref is as bad as them

Dulcet Dave thinks he's good.

[Wally Banter]

Ruel misses an absolute sitter, hitting the bar from 8 yards after both teams gave the ball to each other.

[Mistadobalina]

Awful miss from Ruel. That was an absolute sitter.

[EliotNes]

It should have been 1-0 to the Os. Oh well.

[Rich Tea Wellin]

How the f has Ruel missed that. Sitter.

[LPE]

Not good enough from Ruel. Pure and simple.
You have to bury those. A top striker would have murdered that. On a plate and a golden opportunity wasted.

[Wally Banter]

Another highly unconvincing effort from Ruel, saved. Freedom of the box to score again....

[Beradogs]

Agyei would have had a hatrick here.

[Monkey Boy]

Bad miss Ruel

[Wally Banter]

Might be time to give one of the loanee forwards a crack at tucking away a chance.
