Port Vale manager Jon Brady admitted he was "very frustrated" after his side were held to a 1-1 draw by Tranmere Rovers at Vale Park. He said the team rushed their chances and missed three big opportunities.

Frustration over missed chances

Brady highlighted that Vale had three big chances, including a tame header at 1‑0 and an "unbelievable opportunity in the six‑yard box", but the team failed to convert them. He criticised the decision‑making, calling it "really frustrating" and noting that the players were indecisive at key moments.

Stand‑in goalkeeper Mo Faal

The manager praised stand‑in goalkeeper Mo Faal, who had taken responsibility for the goal conceded. Brady said he "believes in" Faal and that top strikers miss, but they keep coming back.

Team performance and future outlook

Brady acknowledged that Vale have only one point from their opening two games and that League Two is tough. He stressed that it is not a given that the team will win every match, but he remains confident that the squad will improve and that goals will come in the future.
