Port Vale manager Martin Foyle was left to count the cost after his side's Johnstone's Paint Trophy success against Scunthorpe United.

Foyle saw his side progress 5-3 on penalties, but also saw Jason Talbot sent off and Michael Husbands pick up a stomach injury at Glanford Park.

He told The Sentinel: "I'll try to wheel and deal to get somebody in because it looks like we need a striker.

"We could do with two players. I think we are down to 14 now and it is not healthy.

"I'm pleased to go through to the next round, but it was probably a game too far for us at the moment with the sending-off and Michael Husbands' injury.

"We need to bring some players in."
