Vale is limited but he looks miles better than Hirst. There is a present and directness about Vale. Obviously doesn't seem good enough to be first, second or even third choice but wonder could he be ok as a proper reserve team player? Thoughts?

Think he has the makings of a decent League 1/League 2 player. Expect that once we get a little more depth that's where he'll end up, either on loan or permanently. In the meantime just have to hope he's in the right place at the right time to nick a few goals for us, as Nuttall managed before finding his proper level (although admittedly I didn't think Nuttall would be playing as far down as the National League at just 25).

Almost unwatchable in ESPN. Is it being shown on any other channels at all?

Markanday is a very silky player. Norwich can’t get near him on the ball and he releases in good time. Has to be getting more game time.

BBD should of shot, brilliant from markandy

He was way out of position on the press maybe 20 second before that run. Dack give him a telling off. But that will come and you’re right, he moves forward positively with the ball.

Apparently Norwich are slowly starting to turn the screw in front of their own fans according to this commentator - which is an entirely different game to the one I'm watching.

[Bethnal]

Luckily I’ve got the Cardiff game on in the background, which is a good watch.

[WacoRover]

YES!!! Get in

You can see why he's not got game time though, he's not tracking back at all to help out Carter.

[Mashed Potatoes]

Vale !

[chaddyrovers]

Well done Jack Vale

Yeah, I did see and the fairly “fluid”/totally amorphous shape in front of the back four probably isn’t helping that. He’s not yet a starter but when we’re trying to break down a team late on, he would be very useful.

Ironically, he’s just been instrumental in that goal with his press!

GET IN JACK VALE!!

Huge mistake by canaries, but I will gladly take it. It’s good to see us capitalize on errors.

Well done Dack too.

Many players would have blasted it from that position. 

Great awareness and composure. 

[ItsRoverZ]

Nice pressing by markandy and a lovely pass from dack to let Vale finish an easy goal! Let's go!

Compensation for injuring Wharton? 

Good to see Vale scoring. Should bring him some confidence, even if was an easy finish.

Great combination of pressing, awareness and cool heads - Glad to see it isn't only Rovers who piss about with the ball in suicidal positions!

[DE.]

Can only be a good thing to have Vale's confidence boosted.
