From the Stoke Sentinel
GOALKEEPER Chris Neal made his return from injury in yesterday's reserve game against Burton Albion, but couldn't prevent the Valiants losing 3-2 – and with it their unbeaten record.
It was Neal's first appearance since picking up an ankle injury in the pre-season friendly against Notts County back in July.
Coach Mick Ede said: "It was good to see Chris back, he did well and has 90 minutes in his locker from his first game back."
Home side Vale started well and took the lead in the sixth minute.
Sam Kelly sent over a cross from the left and the ball fell to skipper Ryan Lloyd, who made no mistake from 10 yards. Mackenzie Faulkner headed a Kelly free-kick wide, but Burton drew level from the penalty spot in the 12th minute.
Faulkner brought down Sam Austin in the box and Zeli Ismail converted the spot-kick.
Ajay Leitch-Smith had a shot saved by Dean Lyness as Vale sought to regain the lead.
Just before the half-hour mark Neal showed that he was up to speed by saving one-handed from Ismail and soon afterwards denied Austin.
Two minutes into the second half Burton went in front.
Matthew Palmer had a shot well blocked by Neal, but the rebound fell kindly to Aurelien Joachim and he drove the ball into the net. Lloyd had a header saved from an Adam Yates cross and then Omar Haughton forced Lyness into a diving save as Vale hit back.
The visitors' went 3-1 ahead, though, in the 54th minute.
Burton sub Mirsa Sejdic came on to the field just as they were preparing to take a free-kick wide on the right and as the ball came over he hit a shot that was deflected into the net.
Lloyd sprayed the ball out to Haughton on the right and his cross was thumped against the bar by Michael Brown.
Lloyd headed the ball into the net, but had been flagged offside.
Vale pulled a goal back with six minutes to go.
There appeared no immediate danger when the ball fell to JJ Hooper 20 yards from goal, but he turned swiftly and hit a powerful shot past Lynes and into the top corner of the net.
A minute later Hooper was sent clear but Lyness parried his effort and Jonathan Kapend fired over.
Ede added: "We dominated the possession, but never really got anywhere. We huffed and puffed, but it didn't come off for us.
"JJ Hooper took his goal well which will only add to his confidence."
Tonight Vale play at Brocton in the Staffs Senior Cup (7.30pm).
Port Vale: Neal, Yates, Deen-Conteh, Lloyd, Faulkner, Reeves, Haughton, Brown, Hooper, Leitch-Smith (Kapend, 60), Kelly. Subs not used: Pickering, Steele, Attrell, Turner.
