Genuine question, would it actually wind them up?

Play Nazon on the wing. It's not his natural position but he will offer more than Kelly Evans. Do we actually know that Vincenti will be out yet?

No way, he’s not disciplined enough for that role especially away from home. Our midfield would just get overrun.

Who would you suggest?

Beavon seems the only option on the right. Think he could do a job there. Unlikely to get bullied.

Has Robins said Vincenti won't be available?

Saddens me to write off one of our youngsters, but DKE is not up to the mark in a very physical league, a big heart gets you so far.

I didn't want to mention it for fear of 'love in' and 'boyfriend' accusations.

We are just assuming with the way he went off that he won't be available.
Be a big surprise if he is.

If people can't accept you have a crush on Beavon that's their problem.

It was a one night stand, he didn't leave my bathroom towels straight, that was the end of it!!

I think the team will be up for this. Fairly local game with the chance of going into the autos. Vale not particularly strong this season.. 2-1 win with Exeter losing.

Unfortunately I think we will have to utilise DKE should Vincenti not be ready, unless MR changes the shape which I cannot see one bit.
Wycombe game was quite possibly the worst game to kick off such a compact festive period with lack of protection and consistency from the ref.
Be a few limping/walking bruised players
I don't see DKE playing much of a part here again, will end up at Stratford or leamington

I fear that too and as I keep saying, upon comparing them, Dion looks to be a much better player than Devon, yet it's Devon who has been getting the game time.
Dion is more ferocious and combative and seems to have a better touch on him too.

Of course it wouldn't, but it is a joke.
Just like when fans sing '... Is a shit hole, I want to go home'.

"Jingle bells jingle bells jingle all the way" you all know the rest. As has been mentioned I would concur that Beavon coming in for Vincenti is the way to go, his lack of goals being on a par with Vince, and he could link up quite well with Grimmer. 3-1 and Biamou will finally get a league goal.

I don't think we'll get 500 on the gate.

Neither, but you never know. I know a fair few who are going who haven't got tickets because it's easier to pay on the gate for this one.

We'll probably get 1700 but could be a Crewe where loads turn up on the day. Would be good to break the 2k for the first time this season.

Heart says Cov win but we are talking of Cov winning consolidating 4th position so I guess we are up for losing yet again....GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Me plus 3 going can't wait.
Easy win will have to sit in the carpark again watching there 10 year olds giving it large.

I hope we win but can see it being a real battle. We deservedly beat them at home but they nearly sneaked a point late on after being outplayed. They have changed manager and improved a lot since then. I think it will be tough.
Otis

I think it will be tough too. Would settle for a draw if we could then go on to beat Carlisle and Cheltenham. That would be a great return from the Christmas fixtures.
Certainly can't afford to lose. Momentum starting to build after back to back wins and a loss would stop us back in our tracks.
Need a positive result, be it win or draw.
Port Vale is in Burslem isn't it?

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.
Port Vale's main threat is Tom Pope who has scored 8 and has 3 assists in his last 12 league appearances.
