This is probably our last game against someone with nothing to play for.There are indications that Vale may play some of their fringe players but those players may well be playing for a contract next season and complacency will be our biggest enemy.Of course they could be nice to us and gift us the three points in homage to one of their former (and apparently popular) loanees Lewis Hardcastle.A draw would be a small step closer but a comfortable winwould make me a lot happier. 2-0 with both goals for another Vale old boy Quigs.

Port vale are coming into this game on the back of 6 wins and a draw - don’t be thinking they’ll have the beach towels and deck chairs out.

Yes remember the last game we needed to win against Chester at home and they were in administration so could only put a youth team out against us.
Thankfully Woking got beat at home by Dover who had nothing to play for,but put them down instead of us.
Also in our league days Shrewsbury came to Barrow needing a win for promotion, we had nothing to play for but beat them

Not even sure where he’s got the indication that they are going to play a weakened team from
They played a full strength side v Carlisle at the weekend. No way are they taking the foot off the gas

Vale were going to a record run of wins at the weekend so played a strong team so they could get the win. Now they have nothing to play for the indication is they will give fringe players a run out.
I'm going for a 2-0 win to us with ex-Vale players Quigs and Andrew scoring.

Well I’ve just watched their pre match press conference and there is no indication at all that a fringe team will be put out - they are targeting remaining unbeaten for the rest of the season to give them a stage to build on for next season

Fair enough, that makes sense. I need to stop listening to their supporters for team news. Hopefully we can scupper that plan tomorrow, even if they do play a strong team...

I notice our official Twitter has said we won't be joining the new European super league but I think this is a ploy. I am really worried that we have agreed to join too. Its going to be a tense few days at Holker St for sure.
