Port Vale 1 Scunthorpe 0

KEITH HILL called for patience as Scunthorpe’s sixth straight loss sent them bottom.

“I’m trying to build something; I’m bringing Keith Hill players in and we have to give them time,” he said.

Nathan Smith scored the only goal, and Vale boss Darrell Clarke said: “Hopefully the clean sheet last week and then again this week is putting us in the right direction.”
