Hall-Johnson in for the injured Hendrie, Welsh back on the bench

Other than that it is the same as against Notts County.

Dry, sunny, not much wind, big pitch got the making of a good game.😎

Arryarryarry, to help with my prediction league can you have a quick count of the town fans and give us an estimate. Thanks.

Dour 0-0 it is then?

The last time I was away at Port Vale it took us about 2 hours to find the grond, my car got smashed up and there was a pitch invasion at the end of the game.

I see we’re 15 minutes in and 0-0

Any updates as I don’t have commentary at the moment

Town holding their own and playing the better football

Managed to get it on Digital ….. sounds like a bit of a stalemate although Macca just saved us

Even at the mo according to commentary- Vale defo here for the taking if town can get hold of the game and get Thomas involved

Off the line😢😢

What cake you got mate? If its chocolate i’ll come grab some

Blinking iPhone 🤪

Goalmouth scramble in the town box. Scary moments for town

Latest.......Notts County 0-1 Macclesfield

Vale had the better chances so far

Need to go in at HT 0-0

Think Pearson has given Wrexham an early lead in their big game.
Poor old Chesterfield 2 down at home v Solihull. How awful for them!,,, the locals are revolting


Macclesfield, under the worlds greatest footballing brain, have gone 1 up against county

Really missing Vernam and his movement off the ball here. We're not getting it down and playing it about on the deck enough. Need to get control of the midfield.

HT 0-0

That'll do I guess

Podge gets his fifteenth of the season to put county back in it, whilst Simon Francis has been carried off at Wembley with a serious knee injury

Pretty grim viewing that 45.   Vale just aim for Pope and hope for the knock-downs....we are struggling on the ball...Hess is getting most touches in midfield but lacks the quality to hurt the opposition.
If Pringle and Embleton can get fired up we should be able to turn these over but Thomas more isolated than normal so we are struggling to retain the ball or build momentum

When I said it had the making of a good game I didn't take into account two poor teams🙄

Scunny losing again at home. Your getting sacked in the morning!!!

If it makes you feel any better (it wont) I'm sitting in front of a lovely fire drinking a lovely old French wine wondering whether to have more cheese.

Town started 2nd half  with purpose

Quoted from forza ivano

Podge gets his fifteenth of the season to put county back in it

I don't care what anyone says. Letting Podge go was a bad mistake. The guy has the knack of scoring at this level.

RHJ injured

RHJ going off injured

Down to the bare bones

RHJ back on 😁

Nathan Clarke equalises for alifax as Lincoln go 1 down

Vale on top now

Sounds like we are under the cosh at the moment.

Nathan Clarke equalises for alifax as Lincoln go 1 down

Shushhh focus on town

Too many players hiding today. Half the team haven't turned up yet. Some of our passing has been criminally poor and now we can't get out of our own half. Only goalless owing to poor finishing from Vale.

Wes Thomas smashes it in and grabs the lead for us!!!!

1-0 Town... just as it looked like we were about to crumble

:) :) :)

Quoted from Hagrid

Shushhh focus on town

Notts County equalise against Macclesfield   :P

Oh hang on Wes Thomas has DEFINITELY turned up!!!!!

Smash and flipping grab!!!!!

Whooooahhhhhhh. What a fling strike !!!!

flipping get in

Wtf
Wes Thomas finish

Struth That sounds a big contradiction of the game - but im not complaining! :D

Get innnnn......suits us now as they are going to have to commit men forward and we are good on the break

I just did the salute utm

wow hope we can hold on, This would be a great 3 points

what a great goal

WOW !   now that was some goal. UTM.

Lincoln losing 2-0

If they could get Wes the ball at his feet facing the gooal he'd get lots more goals

excrement! He must have a foot like a traction engine.

Akheem Rose on for Wes Thomas....

Credit it where it's due, Wes has given us a Christmas cracker today, so hope we can hang on in there for all 3 points

Notts county now losing 2-1 whilst Chesterfield now 4 down hahahahahahahahak


And are now in the relegation places .if Carlsberg did Christmases....

oh dear Davies injured

Harry Davies off now injured

Mitch Rose comes on

Need to see this out

Picking up injuries galore atm!

Sounds like Akheem has pulled up now.... if we can see this out, it will be a brilliant away day but not looking good on the injury front

Omar scores for Brum

Hold on town dig in!!

Just finished counting, 424.

Come on Town hang on.

How many different pronouncments of McKeown can the RH commentator fit in before the end of the game?

90 minutes up

5 minutes added time  :D

Jeez.... they are piling on the pressure but we hold on in the final minute or two to see us over the line

Great win for the lads!

UTFM!!!

C,Mon Town

Full time v valuable win, putting us 11 points clear of relegation. He's slowly but surely turning it around......

Arghh what a win get fuckin in

Great win......Jolley must be favourite for Manager of the Month !!!

Perfect. Up to 14th and 8 points from 7th!
5 wins in 6
Thomas 8 for the season!

Get in!!!

Great result that for Town

Some of those bets for top half finishes are starting to look pretty tasty now.

get the intercourse in

Brilliant Win. That should boost their confidence no end but too many injuries, Gonna be tough if we cant get these key players fit

Great win, well done players and management,safe journey home everyone.

Robbed !!!  Haha...well done town...rode our luck at times...struggled with the physicality of Vale but to a man they threw themselves at anything.
Wonder strike from Wes which must have been just about our only shot at goal.

Especially good to continue grinding out the results at this time of the year, especially with the injuries we've started to pick up. Safety the priority and you can't beat having points on the board, especially if half your defenders are out injured.

Fantastic result and what a goal

Great win - slowly but surely the manager getting his ideas across?  Momentum is an important thing.....

I listened in online as I'm living down in Folkestone, what a game. Good to see us on the right side of a smash and grab game. I hope Davis and Akheem are OK as this is a busy time and we need as many fit players as possible to get us in the upper echelons of this division.

Looking up :)

Brilliant 3 points that!!

Tough win but deserved, still too many wayward passes out from the back. Fought well and fantastic goal from Wes.

Someone posted a clip of wes thomas’ goal on twitter, what a strike, starting to think he might be able to do a liam Hearn!

So pleased weve actually won these crucial games, we might be in the best form in the league now, ready to take on the challenge of a run of tougher games, and weve broken our away duck when we needed to

Also this good form makes us more attractive to better players in January! I think players would rather join a club who could make a push for the play offs then a club who's in a relegation battle

Great win, opening up a gap now .injurys could hold us back depending how bad they are ,

Bonus 3 points!

Usual BD shocks:  Man City,  Norwich (well, saved by 98th min equaliser), Portsmouth and good old Lincoln.

Plaudits to Spurs and Leeds.  Roofe hits 3 injury time winners in 2 games in a week.

Just finished counting, 424.

You forgot to count yourself  ;D ;D ;D ;D

425

Fookin' great win!! Honestly, who'd have thought back in September we'd have been this happy at Xmas after grabbing this points haul!!
January awaits, hopefully the final pieces fall into place.

I reckon 5 more wins should see us safe , to be honest we’re more or less safe now so let’s just enjoy the ride play a. It of football and see what happens

Quoted from Rodley Mariner

excrement! He must have a foot like a traction engine.

TWHAT! DID YOU SEE THAT?    Back of the net.  What a fecking strike!!!
