MORSY TO MAKE AMENDS

Midfielder glad to be back in the thick of things

Sam Morsy is glad to be back playing first team football after a spell out of the side, a period when he feels he has learned a hard lesson which will drive him on.

He said: “I was delighted to get back into the team at the weekend. I had missed a few games after getting suspended and I thought it went well and we were happy with the point.

“It was me who made the mistake in getting sent off and it is up to me to put it right. Rob Page has made sure my head has been in the right place while I haven’t been playing.

The young midfielder is well aware of the importance of the next couple of weeks when Vale play a number of games in a relatively short period of time.

He says: “We need to keep picking up points now and keep putting in performances over the Christmas period because we have a lot of games to play. 

“If we can come out of it all with a good, solid amount of points then we will be in a good position.”
