Port Vale manager Jon Brady has called for more support in the transfer window after a 1-0 win at Leyton Orient boosted their survival chances in League One. Kyle John's second-minute goal was enough for the victory, but Vale are still bottom of the table and 10 points from safety.

What happened?

Port Vale won 1-0 at Leyton Orient, with Kyle John scoring in the second minute. This win comes after a recent loss, with their last result being Port Vale 0-2 Lincoln on 2026-05-02.

Why it matters for Port Vale

Brady said: "With what we've got at the moment, I've only got two strikers available and right now in the window we need support in that area." The team's current standing is 22nd in League One, with 38 points from 41 games, and a recent form of WDWLL.

What comes next?

Brady added: "It is just a foundation, it is a start. I don't think we played brilliantly, but what we did was we worked for each other and it was really connected." Leyton Orient head coach Richie Wellens was disappointed with the result, putting it down to Port Vale's game plan.
