Glen Little returned to the starting line up replacing Wade Small who reverted to the substitutes bench. There was also a return to the bench for Aaron Morris after he represented Wales Under-21 during the course of the past week.
Vale were awaiting their first home league victory of the campaign after a faultless record on their travels. Included in their line-up was former Woking striker Justin Richards who has started the season with five goals from eight appearances. Yorkshire-based referee Mark Brown was officiating in his fourth Football League fixture since he was promoted at the end of last season.
