Pitch looks perfect. Weather looks awful. Forgot how dark it gets at 3pm too.
COYS!

What happens with ifollow if the game gets abandoned? Refund or we get to watch the rematch free?

Hello Freez and Glen, first time I have been on this season. Now back in sunny and bright Nerja Spain.
18 deg C here. Saw the first few home games at the Globe but from what you are saying I'm glad to be here. Hoping for a good result today and progress up the league. Keep up the commentaries please.

Considering the conditions, it's been a pretty good game with the ball largely on the deck. Appears to have stopped raining. We're on about five corners to none. Could do with a goal while we're on top.

Get in! Superb goal

Get in! I'm not a fan of Cranston at full-back so great decision to put him in midfield, he's been excellent today.

Good weather and a slick pitch should help us as well. Let's make the most of our dominance, and especially our set pieces and we can score more

Probably Cochran's Bar/Restaurant Glen. Just heard the goal, great stuff. Come on you REDS.

Superb goal!

Cranston cleared in our penalty area. Their midfielder headed the ball and Cranston picked it up himself. He then powered the full length of the pitch at speed. He glanced up and saw A-Jay to his right. Popped a ball perfectly in to A-Jay's run for A-Jay to finish superbly!

Almost scored a second a few moments afterwards.

Playing well!

We are looking like Brazil. Superb set up today, just need another goal to keep up the momentum.

Magic goal! Pleased for Oswell.
First league goal of many, hopefully.

Absolutely! Kenyon had a shot, then picked up the clearance/block/rebound. Second attempt was a nice chip in to the area. Oswell read it well and arrived to stick his head on it. Lovely first goal for Oswell.

Did somebody say we needed to be 3-0 up at halftime? Let's do it!!

Playing really well. Not like us to be making the good work count.
More of the same in the second half and a nice quiet night on the forum.

Their keeper has made two superb saves too, including Cranston's free kick that was going in the top corner.

First ten minutes of second half, Port Vale were on top but much more equal since. One good effort to PV, well blocked by Old, one great shot from Mandeville from distance, well saved and another from Cranston, just over. Next goal is a big one depending upon which end!

Feel like today is the opposite of our usual games. Two teams playing fairly well, we've been clinical in the final third and created some great chances, they've had a lot of possession but struggled to test the goalkeeper.

Oates on for the injured Cranston, who had been superb today.

Footballing Gods couldn’t let everything go our way today!

How did the injury look?

He walked off, so hopefully nothing serious.

FFS!

2-2

Sick, sick ,sick. Why oh why do we switch off??

Penalty! A-Jay missed.

Glad we had an amazing first half because we've been poor second half. Sadly I think they've deserved 2-2.

Also watched the first back and it's not offside, seems like they wised up to our tactic.

Do we not practice penalties in training? Do we not have set kick takers? They were all arguing before the kick, most other teams have a clear list of takers, and AJ can't be top of that list.
