We are down to bear bones due to injuries and suspensions, so the task of improving on our poor away record is going to be tough. At right back hopefully we shall have James O'Connor on loan from Aston Villa. I trust George Pilkington will be fit after his facial injury against Chesterfield. I don't think Brooker will be fit, so it may well be Billy Paynter and Lee Matthews up front.

Gooooaaaarrnnn Vale.

Amazingly both Brooker and Pilkington have recovered from injuries. Villa loan player James O'Connor starts at right back.

HT Bradford 0 Vale 1 (Paynter)
