Shell-shocked County Crash Out

County bowed out of the Paint Pot Trophy with a whimper after falling 3 goals behind to League 2 Port Vale after just 10 minutes at Vale Park tonight.

The Valiants were ahead after just two minutes when former Bristol Rovers winger Lewis Haldane shot past keeper Paul Gerard.

And Vale were two up two minutes later when Haldane teed up Louis Dodds who placed it past Gerrard.

And four minutes later it was all but game over as Marc Richards nodded in over the former £1 million keeper.

Liam Bridcutt pulled a consolation back in the 20th minute when his speculative long range effort was heavily deflected and in.

So County crashed out in the second round tonight, but more importantly, we find out no Pure FM that the 8th October ISN’T the important date that County fans were told to look out for.

It basically means more and more waiting and sitting on our backsides.

Why do we bother?
