Gibson was solid, I thought all 4 defenders had a good game. They had a lot of possession but barely created a chance, which says a lot about how we defended. He had one wobbly moment where he headed it straight out of Turner's hands, but not sure where the fault lay for that.

When you hear Derek's interview, the performance becomes more impressive. The effort the players put in to implement the system and win a game against a very good side was fantastic.
I'd agree. Back four & keeper all looked solid and will get better as they play more games. We didn't look likely to score from open play, and probably 0-0 would have been a fair result, because Port Vale didn't look like scoring either. First half they were slightly better, second half, we were slightly better. Nicely taken penalty and I'll take that!
