Player ratings4 Oct 2032

Ben Waine runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 24. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad4 Oct 2032

George Hall in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Port Vale this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad4 Oct 2032

Words at Port Vale training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Ryan Giles is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Match2 Oct 2032

Still nobody has beaten Port Vale

The unbeaten run reaches 6. Some of them were wins and some were escapes, but a side that refuses to lose is a side other dressing rooms talk about.

Squad4 Oct 2032

No hiding place for Julio Da Silva

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Julio Da Silva, and the manager let it.

Player ratings4 Oct 2032

Kyle John takes the honours

Marked 7.70 on an afternoon he ran from the first whistle to the last. Whatever else went wrong, Port Vale had the best player on the pitch.

Squad4 Oct 2032

A place in the month's best eleven for Kyle John

Four or five weekends of consistency, judged against everybody in the division doing his job. Kyle John has come out of that comparison in the side, and Port Vale have had the benefit of every one of those afternoons.

Market4 Oct 2032

Markuss Gomins is free to find somewhere else

“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Port Vale has been clear about where Markuss Gomins stands, which is more than many ever get.

Match2 Oct 2032

Port Vale draw a blank against Accrington Stanley

The crowd waited for a goal that never came. Accrington Stanley defended in numbers and left with what they came for, and the two sides could be playing still without troubling a scorer.

From our football correspondent Steady

Market30 Aug 2032

Edward Lake’s move to Lincoln City falls through

The deal that would have taken Edward Lake to Lincoln City has collapsed at the last stage, and he reports back to Port Vale with a summer to forget and a season still to play. Nobody is saying which side walked away.

Squad30 Aug 2032

Rui Costa in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Port Vale this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad30 Aug 2032

Ryan Giles falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Match28 Aug 2032

Port Vale come up short against Crawley Town

Crawley Town left with the points after a 1‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad30 Aug 2032

George Byers gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Market30 Aug 2032

Ryan Giles linked with a move away

The name of Ryan Giles keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Port Vale say nothing, which says plenty.

Squad30 Aug 2032

Lucas Dilelio has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Port Vale will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

Player ratings30 Aug 2032

George Hall runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 10. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Market30 Aug 2032

Still no ink between Port Vale and Liam King

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Port Vale, another week without a signature from Liam King.
