Hello and welcome to our Monday evening edition of The Valiant for November 18.

We’re looking at Vale’s climb to the top of the league, Darren Moore’s response to the challenges on the way and the choices ahead as they try to stay there.

The Vale don’t have a game until next Monday and their top-of-the-table clash at home to Crewe but there is still plenty to discuss in this evening’s edition as we take in news, analysis, opinion and nostalgia.
