Come on then Stags, let start as we mean to go on this year!

This might be a daft question, but if it has been forecast to start snowing heavily at 1500 for the last 2 days, why did they not bring kick off to 1300?

It Is nice to see Perch back.

Personally would have started with Cook but we will see, wasn't going to watch but the snow is bad here and nothing else to do.

COYS lets start the year off with a win!

White all over in Ravenshead as well in last 15 mins

I can see why he put Perch in. Experience over youth. Had we been 5 or 6 places higher in the league I think O'Keeffe might have got his shot. Being 3 points off the relegation places means he won't take the risk. If we are losing later in the game I can see O'Keeffe getting on to try and win it.

Had the stream on for half an hour before game and it did snow fairly heavily for about 10-15 minutes.

Clarke 1-0

Perch throw in to Lapslie. Charsley picks up the ball and the keeper tips his shot onto the post and Clarke makes no mistake with the rebound.

[Sneag]

Hope we haven't peaked too early.

[Rob]

Pitch looks OK to be fair

[Spiritater]

We need another.

[Wh_Stag]

Vale keeping the ball well, they are going to have to have a real go now

What a good start, great goal

[gazza1988]

Close for Vale. Low hard cross across face of goal stopped on the line by Benning and gathered by Stech. Stags go up the other end and win a corner. Corner cleared back to Maris who crosses, Reid heads it a yard or 2 wide of the left post.

[wink68]

Bowery trying a first time shot from outside box. Confidence up.

[wayno cordiniho]

Reid adds nothing, no height, doesn’t make runs and doesn’t battle
