Hello and welcome to our Thursday evening edition of The Valiant for December 5.

Here we go then. Leaders Vale take on second-placed Walsall in Burslem on Saturday and, even though the game has been moved to 12.30pm for Sky, there’s every chance of the biggest crowd of the season.

We’re looking forward to the game and have talking points from Darren Moore’s press conference this afternoon. But that’s just part of a packed edition full of news, analysis, opinion and nostalgia.
