Vale won automatic promotion from league 2 last season and continue their good run into the new season Winning 4 of the first 9 games and sitting 3 points off a play off spot. Relegated from the Championship last season, Bristol city have found it hard in their new league, Just above the relegation zone and without a win the robins are looking to finally get their first 3 points of the season and recruited Lewis Dunk in from Brighton on a 1 month loan to help keep that first league clean sheet. Bristol City are the 3rd highest goal scorers on the road.

"We're in transition and we haven't really settled down into a system and thought 'this is what we want to do'. "Results have hampered that, but we're trying to get to a place we are successful and everyone can believe in what they are doing."

Top marks Brett, but are you doing this one at the same time as twitter? (i'm sure Eddie or Ben would give you a hand)
Competitively I meant, Someone told me on twitter, Hull away on tv last season, Think that was our last clean sheet in the league as well.
