MATCH THREAD: “ PORT VALE v CARDIFF CITY " MATCH THREAD

We have lost every dual from a corner and the keepers feet have been planted. We could easily be 3 down here.

I’ve never rated Bagan and he’s not doing anything to change my opinion.

Three out of our four wide players (Willock, Tanner and Bagan) are just not good enough even at this level !!

Without Wintle and Joel Colwill we’d be out of this game by now!!

It’s all Vale

Only a matter of time

Corners are free hits.

We need to invest in a quality CB

Fish, Turnbull and Ashford coming on

A very good run from Liam Gordon, sees the resulting shot nip off Lawlor for a corner

A good delivery sees the the resulting shot go wide

We are riding our luck here, but this game will come to us as time goes on

LATEST SCORE: PORT VALE 0 - 0 CARDIFF CITY (57 mins)

This is embarrassing. We could be 6-0 down , crossing from wrong areas , too soft at defending corners , wingers who don’t know which areas to attack from

On - Fish, Turnbull, Ashford

Off - Lawlor, J Colwill, Tanner

Chambers is NOT a centre back

On - Fish, Turnbull, Ashford

Off - Lawlor, J Colwill, Tanner

All three smart moves by BBM. He can clearly see what we are seeing!

LATEST SCORE: PORT VALE 0 - 0 CARDIFF CITY (61 mins)

The only thing keeping us in this game are the officials, and you won't read that often on here.

How on earth is Willock still on the pitch?

We have been hugely ineffective tactically and to a man. Tanner has been appalling.

And my best player Rubin gone missing

We need him to be the main man this season and carry us over the line a few times when needed, hopefully he can be that man.

Vale hit the bar

Offside given

Fish on for Lawlor.

Turnbull on for J. Colwill.

Ashford on for Tanner.

Vale hit the bar

Offside given

That linesman is saving our bacon so far, that wasn't offside either.

Good strength by Salech to win a free kick

Wintle with a dreadful free kick

Good strength by Salech to win a free kick

Too much strength by Wintle with the free kick

what a waste of a free kick

Port Vale hit the bar but it’s given offside anyway!

A little unfortunate for them, but we survive again before Salech is fouled in the middle of the Port Vale half

We’re riding our luck here, but Wintle pretty much sums up our evening so far by putting the ball out of play!

Omg I’m amazed how he’s still on the pitch. What a shovel of shite from him

Being totally bullied by PV. Welcome to League 1.

Why is Wintle on free kicks? Couldn’t deliver the post! Turnbull should be on them

2nd offside that wasn't offside

It's been a bit better since the changes were made

someone get willock off the pitch
terrible tonight

Terrible cross by Willock

Ruined a good sustained attack

It's been a delivery disaster masterclass today.
