If you're looking for a positive note, at least James Baxendale's late goal made sure Vale were put out of their misery before fans could start to dream of any kind of extended run.There are numerous diversified high heels at christian louboutin shoes for sale.

Walsall, second best for much of the night, took the lead just before the break through Ashley Hemmings.

Defender Chris Robertson deservedly headed the home side level, but Baxendale's 84th-minute winner meant the Valiants were out at the first-round stage again.

Boss Micky Adams resisted the temptation to change the team which drew 1-1 with Brentford on Saturday.

That meant Doug Loft continued on the left of midfield and the skipper was soon in the thick of the action with a crunching early block tackle on James Chambers which sent echoes around the main Lorne Street stand.

Vale had started brightly and very nearly took a seventh-minute advantage when Tom Pope rose highest to meet a Chris Lines corner.

His thumping header was nodded off the line by Walsall captain Andy Butler and Loft skied his shot having picked up the resulting clearance.

The visitors, who beat Tranmere 3-1 on Saturday, posted notice of their own threat when Ashley Hemmings threaded a pass down the left of the penalty area only for striker Craig Westcarr to smash his shot high and wide when well placed.

Vale, operating at a breathless tempo and dominating possession, created another chance after 15 minutes, but Loft could only head Adam Yates' cross straight at keeper Richard O'Donnell.

The game was held up for a couple of minutes as referee Andy Haines tried to sort out a bout of handbags between Carl Dickinson and Milan Lalkovic – there would only have ever been one winner there anyway – and the home side were pressing again when full-back Dan Jones pressed forward to unleash a shot that was held by O'Donnell only at the second attempt. Gavin Tomlin did beat the Walsall keeper only to have his diving header ruled out for an earlier push by Pope and as play swung to the other end once more, Westcarr somehow found acres of space inside the Vale box only to send his header skewing over the bar.

Dickinson was wildly ambitious with a shot from fully 40 yards which O'Donnell was able to watch drift well wide, but with Lines now running midfield, the Valiants were by far the better side.

Pope's header from another Yates cross was well held by O'Donnell, but it was somehow Walsall who took the lead two minutes before the break.

James Chambers scampered down the right to deliver a cross and twin brother Adam's header was pushed against the crossbar by goalkeeper Chris Neal. Hemmings was on the spot to hook the rebound over the line from close range, leaving defenders appealing for an offside flag that never came.

The Premier League referee, from Biddulph, was in the directors' box for the evening and might even have been among those having a pop at one of the assistant referees who signalled a goal kick when Tomlin had clearly won a corner for the home side.

But Vale were level less than 15 minutes after half-time anyway. Lines' delivery from a free-kick on the left was inch perfect for Robertson to send his header looping over O'Donnell and just under the crossbar.

The introduction of Kaid Mohamed enabled Loft to move into central midfield, but it was Lines' fabulous ball that sent Yates scampering down the right and his delivery was headed only just wide by Loft. And as Vale built up a head of steam, Pope's header from close range was only just blocked on the line by O'Donnell.The latest trends and best prices on Michael Kors Bags 2013.

Pope was off target when he tried to catch the Walsall stopper off his line from distance as we moved towards the 70-minute mark, but hearts were in mouths soon after when James Chambers ran virtually unchecked into the home area and then when Westcarr's effort was blocked by Neal at close range.

The excitement proved too much for one Saddlers fan, who aimed a kick at one of a group of stewards dragging him towards the police cell in the corner of the ground.

Hemmings was looking for his second of the night when he rattled a shot from 20 yards only a yard wide of the right post, but Tomlin showed Vale weren't finished with a strike of his own that was well kept out by O'Donnell.

Vale were appealing for a penalty when Robertson looked to be man-handled in the box,Find a great selection of Michael Kors Satchel Bags 2013 New Arrival at hotmkbags! but Walsall then raced down the other end to take the lead once more.

Baxendale found space to cut inside and ran on towards the edge of the box before curling a great right-foot shot beyond Neal and into the corner.

It was tough on Adams' men, who had played well and deserved more. But it was a result which seemed to sum up Vale's luck in this competition.
