I take it you live alone.Port Vale season summary
Port Vale had an awful start to the season: W1, D2, L9 of their opening 12 games, with the 1-0 defeat at the Ricoh sandwiched in the middle of that run, leaving them tied bottom with Chesterfield. They sacked Michael Brown and appointed Neil Aspin, who had been managing in non-league, and although it took a few games their form has improved. In their last 11 games they have W6 D2 L3 and pulled away from the relegation zone.
Home form:
They hadn't won at home in their opening 6 games but have won 3 of their last 5 ,although that run included 2 heavy defeats by Swindon 0-3 and Mansfield 0-4. Despite this minor recovery, overall they have the worst record at home in the division.

They have also been beaten at home by every team in the top half of the league, conceding 15 in 6 matches:

Goals:
Port Vale have conceded at least one goal in 82% of their home matches. They look much more vunerable after half time with 10 of their 18 goals conceded coming between 46-75 mins.

Actually, my family have all gone off to Paris for Christmas. I've been trying to make the best of the situation, jumping on beds, eating ice cream, watching gangster movies, and doing whatever takes my fancy. I'm getting a bit worried though. There's been a spate of burglaries in the area and there have been a couple of guys hanging around in the street who I overheard talking about robbing my place.I take it you live alone.
Love the plan.Actually, my family have all gone off to Paris for Christmas.

Hopefully I'll be ok because I've got a plan - I've got my brother's BB gun and set his tarantula free, have set up some ice on the steps by the front door, heated up a doorknob using the BBQ, put my micro machines all over the floor, set up a blowtorch to go off if anyone opens the back door, placed a trip wire, got a paint can on a rope over the stairs and got an escape route from my room to my treehouse.
I'll let you know how I get on*

Can't see anybody wanting to see that crap! Never catch on, mark my words.....Love the plan.
I think that scenario would make for a great little movie.
Me plus 3 going can't wait.
Easy win will have to sit in the carpark again watching there 10 year olds (and blokes with dental hygiene issues) giving it large.

He's at the Herbert talking about French impressionist painting?There's going to be a Biamou masterclass today.
What, is he secretly a Cordon Bleu chef who's going to be giving a cooking class after the game?There's going to be a Biamou masterclass today.
My ride has dumped me. Are you passing the Ricoh?Heading up later, looking forward to this one with our new midfield.
Any later decision makers, I have a couple of spare seats in the car if you fancy pay on the gate.

Stop being me!!!! Grrr!!!!I think I did read earlier that someone is going to put some monet on him scoring.
I wouldn't say obrien has been a complete failure?Last game involved a fluke and a dodgy penalty, so lets not get carried away. It could have been all doom and gloom on here for the last few days.
Not withstanding that as the couple of games have involved more goals for and against than typically previously, has Robbins changed the plan?
One last thing - given how many players he acquired, I am surprised how few duds there have been. Really only O'Brien has been a complete failure. Moulding a team from scratch is not that easy
Lost our main form of counter attack in Jodi Jones which forced a tactical rethink and replaced a defensive midfielder in Kelly with an attacking midfielder who is comfortable driving forward with the ball at his feet. Much more of a team approach to attacking than previously relying on the individual brilliance of Jones and Nazon which has in turn aided McNulty's excellent form.Last game involved a fluke and a dodgy penalty, so lets not get carried away.

I agree! I think mcnulty has improved by not having jones in the team. Seems the slight tweaks in tactics have improved his game.Lost our main form of counter attack in Jodi Jones which forced a tactical rethink and replaced a defensive midfielder in Kelly with an attacking midfielder who is comfortable driving forward with the ball at his feet.
