Robins left chirping as Vale crash at home

Port Vale crashed to their third successive defeat under new boss Jim Gannon this weekend and his first defeat at home.
Gannon ringed the changes bringing Jay O'Shea into the starting line up following the departure of captain Tommy Fraser this week.
Vale looked to be evenly matched against an average Cheltenham side but when stand in captain Gareth Owen tugged back Wes Thomas the referee was left with little choice to send the former Stockport defender off.
Cheltenham must be Owen's bogey side as he was also substituted after a 20 minute shocker when he was under the watchful eye of Gannon at County.
Vale offered little up front from Justin Richards who was always going to find it difficult playing the lone striker.
Jeff Goulding netted for the Robins in the 56th minute after a cross from former Vale defender Keith Lowe
New West Brom loan stars Kayleden Brown and Romaine Sawyers were brought into the fray but were left with little time to make much of an impact. The substitution of Rob Taylor also sparked a chorus of jeers round Vale Park for Gannon's bizarre substitution but has today defended his decision by stating it was because Taylor had picked up a calf injury.
