Joe Gauci 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.

Match29 Aug 2026

Cardiff City take the points off Port Vale

Beaten 0‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad31 Aug 2026

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.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Words at Port Vale training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Eli Campbell 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.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Port Vale pick somebody else ahead of Kyle John

There is no complaint available here and everybody involved knows it, which does not make the walk to the bench any shorter. Form is the only currency in football that cannot be borrowed against.

Market31 Aug 2026

Oliver Cook told to find a new club

“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Oliver Cook has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at Port Vale.

Onel Hernández, 33, rolls back the years — 8.01

There is an age at which every good afternoon gets described as a throwback, which is unfair and also accurate. 8.01 at 33, and nobody on the pitch was better.

Nobody could get near Ben Garrity

Successful dribbles: 24. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Port Vale

Joe Gauci was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

Rico Richards in the eights

A performance of 8.37 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Kyle John 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.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Too much change too quickly at Port Vale

5 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

Match22 Aug 2026

Honours even between Port Vale and Exeter City

1‑1, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.

Market24 Aug 2026

Tom Scragg 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 Tom Scragg stands, which is more than many ever get.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Port Vale pick somebody else ahead of Tom Scragg

There is no complaint available here and everybody involved knows it, which does not make the walk to the bench any shorter. Form is the only currency in football that cannot be borrowed against.
