Port Vale V Forest
Only One Change Was Made. Injured Lester Off For Grant Holt Which Means Scott Dobie Gets His Sit On The Bench. Needed To Get Back To Top Spot And I Was Hoping This Would Be The Day. A Very Open First Half Gave Lots Of Chances Which Could Not Be Diverted Into The Net. We Started To Look Beter Than Them And We Got What We Deserved In The 39th Minute When A Poor Clearance By Port Vale Keeper Left James Perch To Blast It In An Empty Net From 25 Yards Out. We Were Looking For A 1 - 0 Lead At Half Time But In The Dying Stages Grant Holt Put Tyson Through 1on1 Which He Was Not Going To Miss. 2 -0 Up And Cruising. I Told Them At Half Time To Keep It Up And They Did Exactly That By Dominating Them And In The 56th Minute A Quick Free-Kick From Southall Was Nodded In Front Post By Sammy Clingan. 3 Up And It Was Game Over. It Came To The 69th Minute And I Decided To Make The Usual Subs. Tyson, Grant Holt, Perch For Stewart, Dobie And Gary Holt. We Kept Our Composure And Ended The Game Nicely.
Port Vale 0 - 3 Forest
