MOTM - Port Vale

1. Oastler - nothing got past him, simple, consistent and efficient clearing of lines and never ever gave up chasing.
2. Olejnik - nothing really to do apart from the world class save which is why i have given him no.2 spot. Just like we may give a striker motm for an amazing match winning goal, Olejnik made a save that had he not done so we would have lost the game.
3. Lathrope - solid, efficient grafter whose simple use of the ball keeps us ticking over just nicely.
4. Nico - worked tirelessly with and without the ball tracking back like Oastler. Their wingers couldn't create much due to the hard work of our full backs.
5. Howe - didn't have much of a sniff at goal but put in one hell of a shift for a big frontman which pleased me.
Manse didn't get in the top 5 for me for the first time this season, although he was busy and worked hard i just feel the 5 i have picked played better on the day. Worst player was Stevens, after 10 minutes play i wasn't aware he was even on the pitch. It seems when we are under the cosh a bit and nullified as an attacking force he goes missing.
