Port Vale match thread

[Awaywego]

Are you trying to say someone else is the problem NI .at least I can’t blame the fans for getting on the team’s back.Still looked positive though.

[Northumbiron]

I’m not “trying” to say anything. Just offering my views and observations as ever!

[WonderGoals]

Cox said Hippolyte will play some part “who knows how big” against Lincoln, as Mick said, it’s a case of getting him up to speed. McGahey is supposed to be back as well against Lincoln with Clarke a week later.

Beestin could be the one was tested positive who McAtee was in the car with, who knows ?

May even could have been Turan but it’s all a bit of a mystery, not sure anybody knows what’s going on.

I did think it could have been lack of international clearance why Turan didn’t feature….somebody at the club needs to come out and clear this stuff up because everybody at the minute are guessing.

So many of the squad missing, would be nice to have some sort of official update as to their whereabouts/injury status:

Where’s McAtee?
Where’s Rowe?
Where’s McGahey?
Where’s Clarke?
Where’s Beestin?
Where’s Mooney?
Where’s Hippolyte?
Where’s Turan?
Where’s Onariase?
Where’s Olomola?

How do we have this many first teamers out before the season has even started!?

[Northumbiron]

Plus KvV of course!

Which makes a full IX!

Apparently it’s EFL protocol not to name players testing positive for Covid. In fact I’m surprised Cox explained why McAtee was absent.

I think we’re all fairly happy with the management team, so let’s leave it to them. Very early days and things are still far from normal.

And you a Schoolteacher NI, IX = 9

McAtee isolation
Rowe injured
McGahey back in training
Clarke back in training
Beestin ?
Mooney ?
Hippolyte in training
Turan probably training
Onoriase physio after op
Olomola injured
Van Veen operation

[WonderGoals]

Onaraise is back jogging/running already. I saw him in a training pic earlier in the week. I think he’s back when Clarke’s due back, about a week from the Lincoln game.

Ha ha! Clearly not a typist. And I failed O Level Latin!

Also forgot Hallam. But I’m not the only one by the looks of it!

[mistertonmick]

Hallam was on the bench wasn’t he.

[WonderGoals]

Yes, he came on 2nd half.

Agree with your ratings Les.

Colclough was heading for a 4 until he put that cross in. Eisa had 2 men on him (occasionally 3 or 4). A better left back or second striker would have made something of the spaces that left.

[Northumbiron]

Not sure how you can give an 8 to anyone in a defence that conceded two poor goals.
