Isn’t Chambers banned for 3 games ?

Chambers’ red at Norwich was for a professional foul (shirt pull) rather than misconduct, so only a one game suspension.

By my reckoning, only 23 seats currently available. I'm away. No pick, no shovel for this one.

On paper, this looks like a comfortable win, but we should never underestimate any opposition.
I say we go mostly unchanged, bring Chambers on for Fish who looked a little shaky last game. Having Turnbull available will be helpful too.
Some might want to drop Ashford but I thought he did OK, his flair might work against a former League 2 team.
Turner
Bagan-Chambers-Lawlor-Kpakio
Wintle

Ashford-Salech-Tanner

Be a tough one. Promoted clubs first home game back at this level.
I have no clue about their squad but hopefully we can get that first away win at the first attempt and not wait until late December like last season :hehe:
Re: PORT VALE v CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
we haven't lost to them for over 20 years i think...tho not many meetings a league cup rings a bell.
Re: PORT VALE v CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
Know nothing about Port Vale, apart from it's somewhere near Stoke.
We really need to be beating this sort of team, who would be happy just to stay in Div 1.
3-1 win Salech with a hat trick.
Re: PORT VALE v CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
Remember the 2-2 draw there a few years back. City fans were put in a pub just across the road from the ground. If I recall Nathan Blake put us two up and police on horses came on the pitch in front of us, I think they were expecting a pitch invasion (I think the previous away game had seen a few shenanigans at Craven Cottage). Port Vale, inspired by Bernie Slaven, fought back to level the score.

Robbie Williams is now the Club President.
Port Vale recently rubbished rumours that Williams was about to buy the club. Sound familiar?

Was that the game when some Port Vale thug ran on and confronted Blakey?
