One to watch
LUKE RODGERS: Luke joined Vale in the January transfer window from South Cheshire neighbours Crewe Alexandra, where he didn't manage to pin down a regular first team place. He was previously with Shrewsbury Town, where he showed a good eye for goal, that he has rediscovered for the Valiants. Luke is Port Vale's current top scorer notching up ten goals so far this season.

From the boss
Kevin Blackwell:"I am not concerned about Port Vale. We are looking to extend our run and we have to do everything we can to keep that going."
