9 HRS AGO - It was nice of Dan Turner to say he's trying to pick up tips from some of the senior players here, including me.That's all very well but I can assure readers that I didn't teach him that back-heeled nutmeg he pulled out on Derby's Curtis Davies the other night. I don't think I have ever nutmegged anyone in my life. I'll have to ask Dan for some advice.
It was a great piece of skill, but what has really impressed me about Dan and the other young professionals at the club is their attitude.I... Collapse

2 DAYS AGO - Dan Turner won't have come up against many better defenders than Curtis Davies in his career so far.
But the 19 year old Port Vale striker didn't worry about that when he pulled off an audacious piece of skill in the second half of last night's pre-season friendly against Derby County.
Turner, from Stone, found himself facing the touchline with former Premier League defender Davies tight to him. But what followed caused one of the biggest cheers of the night as Turner backheeled the ball... Collapse

3 DAYS AGO - Port Vale have completed a loan deal for Burton Albion winger Marcus Harness.So, what type of player have they signed? We asked the Burton Mail's Burton Albion reporter Joshua Murray for the lowdown in the 21 year old. He said the Valiants are getting a fast, skilful wideman. It sounds like he's versatile too, as Murray explains. "In the first couple of pre-season games he has actually been playing at left-wing back, but usually he is an out-and-out winger. He is quite pacy, and a tricky... Collapse

3 DAYS AGO - Bring on Derby County! I cannot wait for the first home game tonight, albeit a friendly. There is always something so nostalgic at the end of a season, where I have a twinge of sadness leaving the ground for the last time. The close season drags for me, I have no idea what to do with my Saturday afternoons when there is no football on. So, thank goodness we are only 18 days away from the start of the new league season. The pre season is now well under way and we managed a 1-1 draw away to Buxton... Collapse

1 DAY AGO - I thought I must have misheard when I was told Port Vale are heading for a training camp in Marbella. I am certainly jealous because when I was at the Vale our most exotic location during pre-season was Exeter University.That was under John Rudge who broadened our horizons more than his predecessor John McGrath whose favourite pre-season destination was Blackpool. I think he must have had shares in a guesthouse because we were regulars there, getting some kip ahead of training runs along the... Collapse

2 DAYS AGO - Former Port Vale winger Enoch Andoh is having a trial with Oldham Athletic. The 24 year old played 45 minutes for the Latics at Curzon Ashton last night and could also feature in their friendly against Accrington Stanley on Saturday.Vale fans will be wishing Andoh well because he quickly became a favourite at Vale Park before he suffered a knee injury in an away game at Colchester in October 2015. That kept him out of the game until March 2017 when he played in two games for Vale's reserves.Read... Collapse

5 DAYS AGO - Pre-season friendlies aren't often too significant, but Adam Yates will feel very differently about Saturday's 1-1 draw at Buxton. It was wonderful to see the 34 year old back on the pitch again, his first taste of action since he suffered a cruciate knee ligament injury last season. Not only did Yates play, he also took the captain's armband after Anthony De Freitas was substituted.He got a warm reception from the travelling Vale supporters, and quite right too.
