Port Vale fans highlight individual performances in Bolton draw

Port Vale bounced back from defeats to Exeter and Rotherham in the last week to battle out a goalless draw at home to Bolton.

"After his sending-off it might have been expected to be easier for the Vale. Bolton reorganised to deny space for the Vale forwards which might have been there at 11 v 11. Gavin Massey, along with Jack Stevens and Ellis Harrison look decent signings so I am expecting better things now."

: "I would have taken a point before the game, we were just lacking in the final third. It was nice to see their number 17 (Oladapo Afolayan) went off at half time, great player on the ball. Keep up the hard work boys."

"There were some good all round performances, particularly across
