Port vale academy were the much better side, by a huge margin. Looked like they’d been infected by the same virus as the first team. Constantly on their heels, losing most of their tackles, passing to the opposition galore, just not pressing effectively, and leaving their players unmarked in large numbers. We should have been beaten by more than a goal. I hope the coaches are going to pore through that game in all the ugly details. On the bright side, by some fluke, we won.
