Shame to concede late, but a good point plenty to improve on, a bit wasteful first half but defended well at times. Luke Thomas was excellent.

Shame to concede late but that lad who scored was always going to be a threat … surprised he didn’t start given how well he has done in preseason. Could be crazy good this season for them.
Would have taken a point so staying very positive … would have been nice to have done ‘Orrible Pompey on their own ground though.

This will be the case every week under the new rules. Passed me by what are the new rules? Similar to the 2022 World Cup, every second of every stoppage gets added. Lots of games today running well into double minutes of injury time. |

Port vale doing well with Connor Ripley in goal.
Wonder how many zBarnsley will get next Saturday.

Should of been out of sight by half time.
Collins had 3 excellent chances which unfortunately didn't go in during the game.
Maybe shouldnt have been so content with defending a lead and inviting pressure.
Over all good result but should of ended the double hoodoo

Always disappointing to concede late on, but a very decent point at somewhere we usually lose.
Never threatened much after we scored, onwards UTG

How long are we giving Andy Crosbie? PV fans will be calling for DC's return at this rate, that's a strange result given Barnsley seemed to be in turmoil (have they even played any pre--season games?) and PV had recruited well this summer. Some on here saying Vale have recruited well and we should have signed Connor Ripley instead of Port vale getting there first. |

Always feels worse when you concede so late but overall a very encouraging start. I thought 2nd half we struggled to cause them the same problems as we had 1st half.
We definitely look stronger defensively than we did for the majority of last season and particularly 1st half were a real threat going forward.
Would defintely have taken that before ko, plenty to be positive about with hopefully a couple more additions to come

Good point today. I would’ve taken a draw before the game, so not overly disappointed.
In hindsight, I would’ve like to have seen Sinclair and Evans come on for Marquis and Brown, as they both looked knackered.

Good point and if we get another point v Barnsley that will be another good point ?

Well done gas. Cant argue with that start and sounds like a good performance especially first half by the whole team.
Strong bench shows we are better off already on day 1 with window still open.
Let’s knock Barnsley down a peg next!
And sorry to be that person but early season reminder:
‘Lose’ - opposition out scores us
‘Loose’ - not tight

At least Barnsley should be an easy 3 points next game 😃

Pleased with a point.
Gutted to concede late.
Front row, drenched. What was with the weather? Jaysus Christ

If the new stand was built/open we'd probably now have a sell out new week. |

My take on that:
Cox - looks like a good keeper, 2 dodgy kicks straight to them but made up for it with lots of confident catches. Could he do better with the goal? It was a very slow header but right in the corner so hard to judge
Hoole - Good defensively but didn't get forward at all. Avoidable booking
Wilson - strong leader, blatant yellow but will be key this season
Connolly - not quite comfortable on the left, the way we play forced him to either slice a left footed clearance or pass it back inside. Never totally convincing but didn't really do anything wrong either
Gordon - Good game. Assumed he isn't 100% as otherwise he wouldn't have come off but looked more solid than last season
Finlay - Great ball to Brown for the goal, lacked his tenacity after the early booking which really halted the full on display that we expect
Ward - Fantastic to tie him down on a contract, looks like a proper midfielder at this level
Thomas - other than the goal he didn't do a lot, a couple of tidy touches but forced to play deep most of the game. Will have a good season!
Brown - Really intelligent player, great ball for the goal, great ball for Collins chance and he will definitely get plenty of goal involvements this season
Collins - Missed a sitter for his standards after rounding the keeper and very much in and out from then on
Marquis - good strong display, winning some dubious free kicks and definitely having the beating of Towler! Missed a good early chance but the goals will come with that lot around him
Taylor - Not sure why he came on, Connolly wasn't bad. Worried me a few times and suffered similar to Connolly on the left forced on his weaker foot but undoubtably he will come good, really good.
Evans - Didn't really do anything
Sinclair - decent effort from distance the only moment of note
Grant - Great to see him back and looking fit but Gordan was good, not sure why he came on! Hope we can have him fit for the season
Overall a decent point but couldn't' quite hold on. Liked Brown very much and think he will be key this season, like a left footed Collins. Struggled with just 2 in midfield, would have preferred Grant to come on for Thomas rather than Gordon and added another man in midfield as we were getting overrun as the game went on but it's a good opening day really. Gutted with the goal but onwards and upwards. Barnsley next, after their result today expect plenty of goals in that one!
