MATCH QUOTES

"We have got to start winning the ball in the air. “Sides that give away as many goals as we have this season. finish up with nothing." Vic Crowe. "I was allowed to do it [play as an effective winner for the final ten minutes]. “As a defender I just couldn't believe the way Villa's back line let us get a point. "It was disgraceful really. “There was little or no physical challenge at all, and you don't get out of this Division playing like that." Port Vale scorer and full back Tony Loska.
