Gaffers thoughts ahead of Vale encounter

Speaking up at Hooton Lodge this morning, Robbo said: "Everyone's fit and raring to go, just the usual injuries plus Gregor Robertson - so Eugen's out and Gregor's had his operation this morning.

"Gregor's is an exploratory one and it depends on what they find on how long he'll be out for, if they don't find anything he'll be back sooner rather than later. Hopefully it'll be just a little bit of a clean out.

"Winning breeds confidence and we have to try and take last week on with us tomorrow. There maybe a slight change to the team, but it will be purely tactical so I will make a decision after training."

Giving us an update on Michael Keane's long stadning injury problems, he continued: "It depends on Michael now as to how long he's out for. We are organising a practice game next week so he can play in another one as there's no reserve game arranged at the moment, but he needs games under his belt. He's understandably short on match practice, as is Ryan Taylor.

"Going into tomorrow we've got to be confident. We have to try and tighten up in certain areas but take on that attacking form we displayed last week. I'd ask the fans to keep supporting exactly the same as last week - it was a great atmosphere and we'll give them something to shout about hopefully."
