“We just give ourselves a mountain to climb all the time. I know it’s early days, but you can’t come to these places and give two goals away in the first ten minutes. If Goody hadn’t saved the penalty, God knows what could have happened"
Vale boss Brian Horton from the official Port Vale website.
"We still haven't walloped anyone at home but it looked like we were going to do it in the opening 20 minutes tonight. City were 2-0 ahead after nine minutes and could have been three goals up by the 15-minute mark but Graham Kavanagh missed a penalty. The standard we played in the first 20 minutes you just can't sustain for 90 minutes but you've got to try and do it for 60 minutes."
Lennie Lawrence in the Western Mail.
"I'm like a Duracell battery - I just keep going on and on."
Andy Legg in the South Wales Echo
"I hadn't seen Andy play for years before I came to Cardiff. He's still as fit as a fiddle, he's a little terrier in front of me and makes so many fantastic runs. He just didn't stop - and what a fabulous finish for his goal."
Gary Croft in the South Wales Echo.
"To be fair to the lads, the way we started was fantastic. There was no way we could keep that up for 90 minutes. It was like watching Real Madrid."
Andy Legg in the South Wales Echo.
“I’m just disappointed with them to be honest. I could have made wholesale changes, I didn’t, but there’s one or two who are maybe lucky to be left in there tonight"
Brian Horton from the official Paort Vale website.
