Yep, anyone wanting to get down, or get finky today is disappointed.

It is a great sign we’re back to being a proper football team that the match day thread is on about utter triviality instead of moaning at how clueless manager and players are.

Not sure the Lino on the near side has ever been to a game before.

Early onslaught here. Too early to suggest we’ve got the midfield balance wrong, but the first impressions aren’t particularly good.

So far I understand from Sky that ā€˜Collins’ is on International duty and ā€˜Charlie’ Woodrow just lost the ball.

Vale have done a great job so far.

Holding our incredible attack to nil?

Or putting in what Frequent said is an ā€œonslaughtā€

Quickly checked the dictionary on that one, it’s a ā€œfierce or destructiveā€ attack.

I might have been arguing on the internet with someone and missed that if it happened.

Vale plan is obviously to try and keep Fred in our half.

He’s had 2 lovely breaks already.Unlucky not to set a goal up there.

I had a cheeky response to Frequent’s ā€œFred will go missing, still dining out on last week’s displayā€ post ready too.

Toby Large commentary much better, calling out the impressive diagonal balls from each of our centre halves. I certainly agree. It’s the first time we’ve had variety of angles with left and right foot since we had Tafazolli and Mawson.

We are, however, quite fortunate to still be level. I’d be giving it another 5-10 mins before considering reparatory action. This is such a Josh Scowen game. Lowry has had a bit of a disaster so far.

Can’t imagine Duff will stick with today’s set up to much longer. Getting over run in midfield and outworked all over the pitch.

Our transitions from defense to midfield are extremely poor. We can’t beat their press at the moment with our defenders having to resort to lumping it forward.

Need more composure and protection on the ball and take those fouls from their press but we are panicking.

All good here so far

Lowry needs taking off at half time, totally unbalances the team in a game like this

I am, keeps cutting every so often.

10 shots at us in 25 mins. That’s more than a decent cluster of sides get against us in 90 mins. Time for a reshape Duff man! I’ll be amazed if Lowry makes it past 60 mins at this rate.

Keepers going down is very much a shithousery tactic every team has adopted

This is pure and utter cheating though. Not even shithousery. If the ref had any balls he’d yellow card their keeper.
