Phoenix in for Campbell otherwise unchanged I think.
Interesting fact, Vale are exactly 100 years older than us.

First time we have ever opened with four straight wins in the EFL, and fourth time in our history.
Joint-most goals we have ever scored in our opening four games in the EFL. The most goals we have ever scored in our opening four League One games.
The most we have ever scored in our opening two away games in the EFL, and just the third time we have won both.
Revell now has 20 wins in League One (from just 52 games, a 38% win rate), putting only GW ahead of him.
We hadn't won after coming from behind away from home since Jan 27th 2024 until opening day. Now done it in consecutive away games.
Jamie Reid now has more goals for the club than Carl Alford.
We are top of League One still.
Had worse nights.

Six consecutive wins is our longest EFL streak, which we have done twice. At the end of our first season in the EFL, and across two seasons as the final three matches of our L2 promotion season and first three if our League One season under Evans. 15 is our longest winning run in a league, in 1990/91, and 1992.
12 is our longest EFL unbeaten run.
Eight the longest losing run, both in the EFL and in our whole history.

Attending games this season has felt a bit like 2011. Under Evans he'd been there before and set the team up to do what needed to be done.
At the moment it feels like a group of players who fight for each other and end up surprising themselves with what their raw determination can achieve. You can look at the opposition's form, the match situation, injuries, performances, but you end up walking away with three points regardless and nobody cares how you did it.

And a likeable team, like the 2011 group, which makes a big difference. The behind-the-scenes marketing content we're pushing out helps in that respect

Yes, on 67 minutes Vale make their first subs, we're losing and looking ragged and I wonder why Revs isn't changing it. Few minutes later he does just that and it ultimately wins the game. He's come on a long way in a year.
Some kamikaze defending at points and an allergy to passing forward at others, Vale played some tremendous stuff at points. But we graft and we believe and you get results. White is a good example; pissed me off a lot with his decision making but worked his arse off and came away a winner.

Seemed to get them a lot further into the box tonight, maybe Vale have really taken in the sides of the pitch. Did seem quite narrow, which wasn't helpful to a player like Patterson who had no space to run in.

Don’t agree. I thought Robbo had a lot of input to the match. He was fouled a hell of a lot by some uncompromising defenders but I certainly thought he was putting the effort in.

The thicko Vale fans weren't happy they didn't get a handball (outside the box) when it was exactly the same as the one we didn't get given (inside the box) earlier. Now booing the officials even though they have favoured Vale somewhat.

I think he was fine. You can see him walking in tandem with Goode just in front of him (onside) as they build up the play, and when the pass is actually made it looks like he just reacted quicker to it than Goode who didn't start moving until the ball was ten feet in progress.
