Port Vale manager Darrell Clarke said:
“I’ll take the blame; I picked a technical team, we started the game on the front foot and scored a very good goal but we were weak at set-pieces and that is what cost us the game – three set pieces.
“We orchestrated our own downfall; it is not that the players hadn’t been warned about it, they’d scored eight from their last 13 goals from set-plays so it wasn’t like we hadn’t worked on it, but you have to do the fine arts and basics of the game right and we didn’t do that.
