81' Blocked on the line!
Port Vale, and most of the stadium, thought that was in as Jayden Stockley's shot found its way through the defence and was cleared by Walsall!

Half time: Port Vale 0-0 Walsall
Locked in a goalless stalemate, with only a handful of chances for either side.
The conditions are playing their part as both teams try and adapt to the other's style of play.

7' Rekeem Harper takes aim from range and his shot flies just wide of the post.
It's been a relatively even battle to start so far.

Interesting from Mat Sadler saying that he's not taking anything for granted this weekend as you would probably expect in the FA Cup.
However with Notts County and Port Vale looming, many fans seem to think a squad rotation is the best idea.

Birmingham City have been drawn against Exeter away on a Tuesday night for the EFL Trophy. 😅
It's a competition Chris Davies still intends on taking seriously, as demonstrated by the demolition against Fulham U21s.
Meanwhile, Walsall have been drawn at home to Reading.
