To be fair it was an excellent corner and a fair number of Vale fans admitted their was more than a hint of handball involved in the finish. We were at the opposite end so couldn’t see if that was the case.
It was one of only 2 bits of real quality from Vale in the game, the other being a good corner routine in the first half that ended in them hitting the post. Other than that it was probably Rory’s quietest game for a while.
Our weakness now (no surprises) was a lot of decent play but with the lack of goal threat. Burns ran himself ragged as usual. Green was a passenger when he came on and Sinclair had some nice touches but never really caused them a problem.
Need 2 forwards and a centre back by Monday evening to stand any chance of making a fight of it.
I would give Grant the captains armband now. Was great to see him and Feaney display a bit of nous. Something our team has been without since Bish and Murphy left.
