Correct me if I'm wrong but will this be Jolley's first match in 'bad' weather conditions? (For anyone not in the area, significant rain since the early hours which is set to continue through the match).

Will this effect our line up/style of play?

I've always believed heavy rain favours us at BP but that's because I've always fancied us to "get up and at them" (perhaps unjustifiably).

Port Vale would appear to be suited to route one style of play with Tom Pope (6"3) & Ricky Miller (6"2) starting up top. Will MJ continue with a winning line up or would dropping Clifton out the middle be justified? I think it's going to be a dog fight in the centre with PV desperate to get the ball out wide & the importance today of mopping up the second ball.

I also think today is a huge game for McKeown. Tough weather conditions and going against a team which will look to exploit his weaknesses on the cross. Could be the key man for us.

If it gets churned up in the middle, route 1 is the way to go - Cardwell & Thomas up top in a 4-4-2?

Rain has been steady not substantial - more likely to be slippy than boggy.

The suggestion that Jolley has never been involved in a game when the weather is wet amuses me!

Of course it's not. But we've been blessed with good footballing conditions since April.

I was merely trying to raise debate around if Jolley would acknowledge the conditions, against an opponent to which the wet would seemingly favour.
