VIEWS FROM THE DRESSING ROOM
Port Vale boss Micky Adams told 大象传媒 Radio Stoke:
We didn't play well - Adams
"We didn't play well, it's as simple as that. I won't stand here and try and kid anybody that we played well because we didn't.
"We started the game very poorly and were 2-0 down before we had got going.
"We didn't give up but we were not at the races. We were beaten by a better team who had better individuals on the day."
