Good result and far more satisfying for Franchise and Preston dropping points. 7 from 8 now? Keep grinding them out Town.

Great performance from the team up until the last 5 or so when we gave them a sniff they should never have had. Luongo outstanding, had their midfielders on toast.
Don't want to dwell on one of the few negatives of that performance but Branco had a dreadful afternoon with ball in hand and at his feet- decent in the air though. Hopefully a one off.
Big crowd but quiet again- not impressed with TE silence after DRS asked them for a song, followed up by we'll sing when we want. Stick sloop John B away and get the Red and White Army going

Another grinding 3 points! vale looked competent without having a shot on target (that I remember).
Obika had a goal chalked off for offside and the. Williams scored a header and then we stopped playing and soaked up some pressure. 3 points all that matters.
Luongo was sublime and deservedly man of the match. We are going to miss
Him badly in January. Nobody else shone or was terrible. Gladwin was much improved and great to see toffolo back who played well.

Good performance that - going forward anyway. Anything they got we gave them but to be fair Vale looked a better prospect than Donny.
If they had had the bollocks to play 2 up front from the start they may have got something - but faint heart never fucked a pig.
Branco needs to go to throw-in school.
Luongo is going to be a bigger miss than I thought, although maybe Louis could do it.
Still not convinced by Gladwin from a consistency point of view - languid describes him at times.

Hopefully we can grind out another win at Fleetwood and go top while shitty play in the cup next week. They will have to give up their bus parking at home which will suit us.
Let's see how shitty handle that psychologically after being top for so long.

After a slow start we controlled the game in the first half with plenty of possession and numerous chances too. While Vale weren't exactly a 'park the bus' team they did have 6 or 7 in defence at times which obviously made it hard. However I thought we worked the ball well and got into wide positions from both sides of the pitch, but couldn't find the way through. Just.
Second half we started off just as brightly, and were eventually rewarded when Byrne jinked his way to the byline and stuck the ball up at the far post for William to finally power home. And so there we have t, Vale had to attack us now and leave gaps for us to inevitably punish them. Except that's not quite how it worked out. Vale did come out their shell and sort of had a go. I wouldn't say we were stretched multiple times, but we became ragged, conceding ground and conceding stupid free kicks, one or two caused a bit of panic inside the box as a half chance here and a ricochet there went unpunished.
While the last 15-20 turned into a damp squib, we were worth the win.
Luongo has hit good for at just the wrong time - transfer window open and off at the Asia cup. He had a fine game with surging runs and good skills passing. Byrne was also a MOM contender with his normal busy nature down the flank. Toffolo too, but with less quality in the final ball/shot.
Williams was pick of the strikers, though Obika had a great first half showing strength and wiling. Disappointed with Smith's cameo though.
At he back Turnbull and Stephens had fine games. Branco probably didn't. Good one minute, scary the next!
But all in all a great result, and an enjoyable first 70 minutes. Now we hit the tough month, personnel wise.

Decent crowd, decent 3 points, excellent from Luongo and great wing play from Byrne finished off nicely by Williams. Branco was a bit of a worry. What position was he actually playing in the first half? Vale just seemed determined not to let in another 5 rather than actually attempt to beat us

Another ground out win. We had enough chances but we managed to hit the keeper quite well including Williams effort which hot the keepers arse as he was prone on the floor. Vale didn't look too bad an outfit and we had to be patient. After the goal we then did everything we could to fuck it up. The defence today - well mostly Branco - were fucking awful with not a great deal of tracking back by Gladwin or Byrne. The midfield, however, worled really well and Luongo was a deserved MOM followed not that far behind by Louis who made some great driving runs.
Another 3 points and the table looks good tonight as does the prospect of plenty beer.
