Morecambe

Port Vale's away record has taken a dip in form of late, their 1-0 defeat at Morecambe on Saturday was only their fourth defeat all season but looks to have put the side's play-off hopes well and truly to bed.
Morecambe took the lead via Phil Jevons on the 18th minute, after the ball had pinged around the Vale box.
Vale defender John McCombe came the closest to providing an equaliser, his sublime over-head kick was ruled out for offside.

Morecambe

Port Vale travel to Morecambe this weekend in search of another away win. The last time the Valiants hit the seaside they secured a 2-1 over Torquay and will be looking to repeat that winning formula.
Captain Tommy Fraser serves his first game of a two match suspension for picking up 10 bookings so far this season.
While Anthony Griffith returns from his suspension for the same offence.
Defender Adam Yates returns to the club he signed from over the summer and no doubt Morecambe fans and players will know what to expect.
Goalkeepr Joe Anyon looks to take his place between the sticks following the 4-0 home win over Lincoln on Tuesday.
Rob Taylor and Craig Davies will hope they showed enough in that game to also keep their places having both found themselves on the score sheet.
Marc Richards was unlucky to find himself amongst the goals on Tuesday but will look to make up for that on the coast.

Brammer vs Adams

Port Vale boss has hit back at former Vale midfielder Dave Branner following his commnents on local radio following the Barnet game.
Summarising for BBC Radio Stoke Brammer was less than complimentary about Vale's performance and singled out a number of players for criticism, a number of complaints have been made.
Here is what Adams has to say on the matter.

Lincoln

Port Vale goalkeeper Joe Anyon marked his return to the side following a 12 month due to injury with a clean sheet in their 4-0 home win against Lincoln.
Vale took the lead after just 25 seconds when Imps defender Ian Pearce slotted the ball past his own stranded keeper and into the net.
Rob Taylor was next on the score sheet after finding himself on the end of Tommy Fraser's pass.
Marc Richards missed his chance to make it 3-0 within ten minutes after he missed from the penalty spot after a Pearce handball.
Craig Davies converted Lewis Haldane's cross to make it 3-0 after 15 minutes and the Vale crowd had to wait unitl the second half before John McCombe sent a fourth into the net.
Youngsters Sam Morsy and Anthony Malbon were given first team debuts on a frosty evening at Vale Park where only 3,231 fans got to witness the Valiants first in nearly a month.

Lincoln

Port Vale take on Lincoln at home tomorrow evening in search of a home win. The Valiants have lost their last two games on home soil, putting their play-off hopes well and truly on ice.
Micky Adams will remain without midfielder Anthony Griffith for the game, who serves his last of a two match suspension for picking up 10 bookings so far this season. His midfield partner and house-mate Tommy Fraser will also have to be on his guard as one more booking for the flame haired captain will see him suspended also. This will only add fuel to the fire of the barrage of jeers he has received from the Vale crowd of late.
The Valiants will be looking to re-capture the form they had at Sincil Bank in December where Marc Richards found himself on the score sheet alongside Louis Dodds, who hasn't found the net since that game.
Goalkeeper Chris Martin will be hoping not to repeat the howler that saw him drop the ball into his own net.
The Imps sit 19th in League Two seven points and four places behind the Valiants. Their last result was a 2-2 draw with lowly Grimsby.
Lincoln boss Chris Sutton will be without defender Adam Watts who suffered a broken leg in the derby with Grimsby at the weekend.

It'll be the same cold weather tomorrow as it was back when these two sides met back in December, the Valiants will also be hoping it's the same score-line.
