Our first friendly in front of fans - hopefully a good performance, some goals and a nice afternoon. Expecting a tough game against a Port Vale side who have made some impressive signings, but will be interesting to see how we line up with all of our new signings

I'm assuming we can pay on the day?

I'm assuming we can pay on the day? I'll answer the question myself after a bit digging: You can pay cash on the West and North stands. |

Port Vale have around 400/500 coming.
Hopefully it's a decent crowd, maybe 2500/3000.

A little concerning to already have 7 players with knocks or injuries, with some maybe out for longer.
Hopefully most will be back within a fortnight.

It seems we signed players that were already carrying injuries.I'm disappointed that Webster and Cooper-Love will be missing I was looking forward to seeing them this afternoon.

A very injury hit squad today, with quite a few youth players on the bench, hopefully we still get a result though, plus a chance for fans to see a few new faces in action.

Think we are lining up something like this
Crocombe
Akoto - Godwin-Malife - Sweeney - Williams
Gilligan - Chauke - Whitfield
Bodin - Orsi - Kalinauskas

We warmed up with a back 3 from left to right: Williams - Sweeney - Godwin-Malife, with Akoto and Kalinauskas on either wing

Will be interesting to see how Kegs does today. Presume he'll anchor with Gilligan and Whitfield getting up to support Orsi and Bodin.
I hope he takes his chance, probably enforced due to injuries but sometimes that's the break you need.
Anyway, c'mon you Brewers!

According to the Port Vale fans forum, we are leading. Is that right?

Pretty decent so far, great play for the goal and some of the work on the training pitch is clear to see. Chauke has played very well so far, finally showing what he can do

I appear to have wandered in to the wrong ground.... I've just watched 11 players moving off the ball, showing options, passing it to feet, receive it confidently, defending tightly in people's faces, having shots, working openings.
Just what I hoped for!
Yes we are playing it around at the back, but we are looking for openings, drawing them in, switching positions, overloading, you name it.
Nice finish for the goal.
Kaulinauskas is supposedly left wing back but spending most of the time further forward and Williams spotting in to left back. Likewise, Akoto and GW.
Kegs has been fantastic, biting in to challenges, always offering, chance being taken!
I appear to be smiling and enjoying not enduring.....
Something definitely is brewing!

Good to hear we are playing well.
Robinsons first test, the half time team talk.
