Bit of personal news, please forgive the self-indulgence. Very excited about the new job but I'm also really going to miss the old one. Thank you so much to everyone who has put up with my ramblings over the last 24 years

Hope this doesn't get lost in all the talk about the next manager. John Askey always conducted himself with dignity and is a good manager. It hasn't worked out and this decision felt inevitable but he did a fine job in his first two seasons. Good luck to him #pvfc

We'll read all sorts of stats this season but not many that tell us as much about Port Vale under @pvfc_carol as this. Vale broke their record for producing meals for the community last week - 1,482 in a single day. What a club. #pvfc #portvale

Congratulations @Tom_Pope9 . Two goals today make him Vale's record post-war league scorer (on 90, two clear of Stan Steele). He's now on 105 in all competitions just three behind his hero and post-war record holder Martin Foyle. Feed The Pope. #pvfc #portvale

FT Burton 0-2 Vale. Brilliant Vale. That performance was impressive in its own right but to do it without ten senior players through injury or international call ups is outstanding. See you in the second round Stevenage.

Good point Vale. Deserved it after shading the first half then showing plenty of industry and organisation in the second. Following a 7-0 mauling with back to back league clean sheets is some effort, as is selling out 1,900 away from home in the first game on road since Barnsley.

Just my opinion but the Vale are overachieving. Not because 10th in League Two is where the club should be long term, but because it's damn good after relegation then two 20th-placed finishes. That's fair enough isn't it? #pvfc #portvale
