TEAM NEWS
Reds hope to have Matt Tubbs and Paul Connolly available after they missed the defeat at Preston on Saturday with injury. Kyle McFadzean completes a two-match suspension.
Top scorer Tom Pope is now Vale's deputy goalkeeper after Chris Neal sustained ankle ligament damage ten days ago and the club were unable to sign another goalkeeper having been placed under a transfer embargo.
VIEW FROM INSIDE THE CAMP
John Gregory: “Port Vale are a strong outfit at home but they do try and play and they have a very big pitch up there which I think will suit us. You know what you are going to get with Micky (Adams)' teams so it's going to be another difficult game for us."
Micky Adams (Port Vale manager): “After losing 5-0 at Bristol City last Tuesday we got a good point at Stevenage on Saturday and we certainly feel good about ourselves again."
