"It's a bit of a pain in the bum, to be honest. It is really because what it's doing for us is adding to our fixture list and as you saw we lost one of our best centre-halves and we haven't got the size of the squad to cope with the amount of games at the moment. It's a privilege, but it's tough as well."
"Port Vale remain 11 points from safety despite an improvement in performances since Brady replaced Darren Moore earlier this year. However, the victory over Sunderland provided a major boost in morale during a difficult campaign."
Port Vale achieved a historic 1-0 victory over Sunderland in the FA Cup fifth round, securing a quarter-final spot for the first time in 70 years through Ben Waine's 28th-minute header. Despite celebrating this memorable achievement, manager Jon Brady acknowledged the challenge of balancing the extended cup run with their struggle against relegation in League One. The club remains 11 points from safety and faces squad depth issues following injuries, particularly the loss of centre-half Cam Humphreys. Brady emphasized that while the cup run is a privilege, the additional fixture demands complicate their fight for survival. Sunderland's defeat ended their hopes of reaching the quarter-finals since 2014.
