Match Preview
Triple boost for Yates Jack Butland, Luke Garbutt and James Spencer are all back for Cheltenham's game with Port Vale leaving manager Mark Yates with several selection headaches. Goalkeeper Butland missed the FA Cup victory over Tranmere as he was away on international duty with the England Under-21 squad, while on-loan duo Garbutt and Spencer were denied permission to play by their parent clubs. Yates has no injury or suspension concerns, but must decide whether to stick with those who impressed in their cup win over Rovers. He told the club's official website: "The returning players will come back into the reckoning because they have been a big part of what we have been doing. "But the players who played last week have also done well. I expect a decent hard-working performance whatever team I put out." Port Vale defender Gareth Owen has ruled himself out of the trip. Owen was injured in training last Friday and missed the FA Cup tie against Grimsby the next day along with Clayton McDonald, who also suffered a knock in the same training session. McDonald could come back into the reckoning but Owen is out and he may even miss the first-round replay against Grimsby at Blundell Park on Tuesday night. Anthony Griffith and Gary Roberts will also be missing on Saturday. Both players must serve one-match suspensions after being booked for the fifth time this season against the Mariners. However, Liam Chilvers is available again after missing the cup tie under the terms of his loan from Notts County. Manager Micky Adams has his fingers crossed that leading scorer Marc Richards can recover from a badly-bruised ankle in time for the trip.

Match Report
Robins still flying high Cheltenham cemented their top three place in npower League Two with a convincing 2-0 victory over an out of sorts Vale side. Second-half goals from Darryl Duffy and Luke Summerfield did the damage to make it just one league defeat in eight games for the Robins. It was the home side who had the pick of the first-half chances, with Jimmy Spencer sending an effort bobbling the wrong side of the post before Russ Penn also stabbed an effort wide. There was another chance for Spencer to break the deadlock late in the half, but he failed to direct a header after Luke Garbutt's cross had skimmed off the head of Duffy. The Valiants' best chance came at the midway point when Tom Pope played Sean Twigg in only for the striker to be denied by Steve Elliott's challenge. The breakthrough finally came 10 minutes into the second period when Louis Dodds' trip on Penn allowed Duffy to fire home from the penalty spot. Summerfield struck a second in the 69th minute as the home side turned up the heat, the midfielder firing home after goalkeeper Tomlinson had failed to collect Garbutt's cross. Kaid Mohamed almost added a third a minute later with a fierce 25-yard effort that fizzed just wide.
