Can someone tell me what Vale offers?  He wins no 50-50s, can’t hold the ball up, not particularly quick, not got much by way of movement.  He really has a lot to prove for me at the moment. 

he`s not ready for this level

[Dan]

FFS take Vale off now. 

[imy9]

Hedges needs to come on

Hate knocking a young lad, but I've not seen anything particularly good from Vale. Personally I'd have Dack up there, might not be his ideal position but at least you know if you get him on the ball he has quality

Dolan, Pickering, Vale and Szmodics been crap.

 

[booth]

Dolan and Vale aren't starters. Nor is Pickering to be fair.

[Sweaty Gussets]

This may be the game for the Dack resurrection. 

[Fraserkirky]

It’s so funny to watch. When we are passing it across the back, the only time they press is when it goes too Pickering. They know, they have done their homework.

How did Buckley survive that sentence?

[JohnD]

Vale must be hooked off

It wasn’t Pickering it was BBD losing his man! Rovers look tired and lethargic as I predicted!

BBD was caught on his heels, brought his man down and got booked for a free kick that led to the goal?

Weird how he was wearing a Pickering mask at the time

He's a warm body at the moment. Will be loaned out if our summer business ever happens.

Vale is nowhere near good enough for this level 

[simongarnerisgod]

reading are just sitting off waiting for the loose ball,bit of direct football is what we need at the moment

The way he totters around up front, I doubt he’s that warm.

Everyone has been crap except maybe Ayala. 

[BankEnd Rover]

Lol getting bullied here. Sorry but Jack vale is not good enough..

[Tugay-is-God]

Pass it along the backline for a few minutes, as soon as we play it into midfield, they press once and take it back

[JohnD]

We musn't concede another but it looks likely

[bluebruce]

We are playing very poorly against a bang average side who have conceded in the first ten minutes in every game until now.

Not sure who that was who gestured for a free kick instead of chasing the ball when he could have applied pressure and maybe won it back.

[BankEnd Rover]

Sorry forgot the middle 2…Buckley probably the worst player on the pitch.

[BigBar]

They look alot more up for it.

[Dan]

Gallagher, Dack and Hedges at half time please. This is as poor as a Mowbray death spiral match. 

[Tugay-is-God]

BBD even having to tell Vale to chase the ball after he'd given it away.
