A fracture rules Connor Hall out for 116 days
Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Port Vale will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

The interest is real enough to have reached print. Port Vale have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

Daniil Lukin is a better footballer than he was
Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 20 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

The afternoon belonged to Kyle John
7.69, and no serious argument from anybody who was there. Port Vale had eleven men on the pitch and one of them decided how it went.

A long bet from Port Vale on Ellis McMillan
He is 19, and nobody at Port Vale signed him for this season. Deals like this are judged in four years, by people who may not still be in the building.
