Port Vale: Micky Adams considers changes for Dagenham and Redbridge trip
MICKY Adams could be tempted to change a winning formula in a bid to fire Port Vale to the top of League Two.
The Valiants boss is considering changes both to his team and formation for tomorrow's testing trip to Dagenham and Redbridge.

Port Vale's Ashley Vincent is expected to have recovered from a stomach bug for the weekend.
Adams masterminded a superb Boxing Day win at promotion rivals Rotherham by deploying a 4-3-3 system for the first time this season.
But with winger Ashley Vincent likely to have recovered from the stomach bug which ruled him out at the New York Stadium, the manager could revert to the 4-4-2 formation which has served him so well.

He might also consider tweaking other areas of his team as Vale look for back-to-back victories from their second game in four days.
Asked whether he might change things around to keep players fresh, Adams said: "We'll definitely look at it.
"We changed the formation at Rotherham and it worked.
"Ashley was ill and that gave us a chance to look at something else, so the result has given me food for thought."
Skipper Doug Loft was pushed into midfield alongside Ryan Burge and Sam Morsy at Rotherham, with Louis Dodds and Jennison Myrie-Williams supporting striker Tom Pope.
"It was a 4-3-3, rather than a 4-5-1," said Adams.
"A 4-5-1 formation sounds negative, but we were anything but that."
Victory at the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham Stadium could lift Vale into top spot for the first time this season.
The win at Rotherham left them just two points behind leaders Gillingham.
But Adams isn't expecting an easy ride against a team whose defeat against Southend on Boxing Day interrupted a rich vein of form.
"I've not had an easy game yet in League Two and I'm certainly not expecting one at Dagenham," he added.
