New Headline: Hall Reveals Epic Strategy; Excited Fans Look Forward to Vales' Next Moves!

Port Vale centre-back Connor Hall says "it's now or never" if the club are to save themselves from relegation to League Two. Vale's plight at the bottom of the table worsened with Tuesday's frustrating 3-2 defeat by fellow strugglers Blackpool that left them 14 points adrift of safety with 11 games to go. The loss was their 19th of the season and extended their run of tough results to only one win in their past 10 League One matches.

Hall said the defeat was "really hard" and "a big blow" having led twice only to concede two goals in the space of nine second-half minutes. "The basic errors, the errors that you learn as a young kid. They are fundamentals, are non-negotiables and we haven't done them in them small moments in a game," Hall told BBC Radio Stoke.

"Again, it's cost us all season, it's cost us again and it's completely summed us up.

They have played three fewer than Blackpool in 21st spot and Exeter City - in 19th place on 42 points - and two fewer than Wigan Athletic in the final safe spot in 20th and also with 42 points.

"There's a lot of games to go but we've given ourselves a massive mountain to climb now," Hall said. "The only thing we can do is get back on the training pitch and try and get wins on the board like we have done all season. We've tried to do that all season - it's now or never.
