Port Vale: Rival talk
Wednesday, April 08, 2009, 09:00
"WE WERE down to the bare bones tonight, especially defensively, and Dean Howell was really our only option as an emergency centre-back.
I thought he was outstanding and I'm very pleased for him. He hasn't had such a good season after doing extremely well for us last year, but he is a good player.
He gave us height and a bit of pace, and helped us keep a fantastic clean sheet.
Nikki Bull also pulled off some good saves and the rest of the lads gave a fully committed performance. I'm certainly happy with what I saw."
