Port Vale Post Match Thoughts

……..club record Sir Paul Warne (cheap option) 😂

Made hard work of it but the undefeated run goes on and we even managed to survive the spectre of penalties along the way despite some of our MMad fans having little faith in a couple of beleaguered Millers. Yet again, a good run out for 16 players and the tin pot is still there for the taking as well as a year's supply of a 14" Pepperoni (don't tell the Mrs. ).

Thoughts?

Thought they were good in the second half and the goal was coming.

Mixed feelings about the win though, could cost us promotion

Game of two halves. Ax looks a real prospect in midfield ala Patrick Viera. JJ ran his socks off and if only he could get a goal!! Sadlier drives me crazy - for every excellent bit of football, he counters it with a piece of shocking football and, with limited pace, I struggle to see a future for him in a starting XI. That said, congratulations to Warney on achieving a significant record - anyone know when the previous one was set? And such a consummate penalty shoot out - who'd have thought it?!

Appreciated gm_gm! I was a regular contributor to this site when based in Australia under the handle '10555 miles to NYS' (obviously!) but I couldn't use that account after return to UK.

To answer my own question, the previous run of 16 unbeaten games was under Steve Evans in 2014, but they were all league games. No defeat in the next 3 home games would surely see the crown pass to PW without question.

weren't we the first to win on some league or cup a few years ago.

In 1950/1951 (4th Nov -03 Mar) and 1969/1970 (13 Oct - 7th Feb) is our record League unbeaten run of 18 matches.
