I wanted him gone last season as I didn't think he was the man to keep us up. That time has been and gone. It is his squad now so must have time. The play is a million times better than last season, and even at 3-1 down I thought we could still win today. I thought we actually played some good stuff.

People say the goals were crap defending, I thought two of their goals were great. Good game for a neutral, entertaining, better than Crosby ball. It will get better. It isn't time to panic.

Are you on a wind up 😂

Can anyone name one quality performance under Moore since he's been here?

He actually isn't. It's frightening.

So you don't think we set up too negatively then 🙈

How was the setup negative? There was a lack of execution or irritatingly when Paton was on the pitch hitting the ball in the air to him. That’s not setting up negatively it’s just being stupid.

Didn't you see how many times we passed the ball back or the lack of cutting edge and major fragility in defence where we conceded goals for fun or was all that just a bad dream 😳

I don’t know what people are expecting. It’s been clear since he first arrived that he’s utterly clueless. I’m unsure what people who say give home time expect to change. 
Imagine if we had interviewed for the role. We would love to have some of the names who were in the mix now. 

Seems like everyone wants to blame the manager and the tactics but ultimately two of the three goals we conceded were on long balls that were just completely misplayed by our CBs. That's not the manager's fault. We had our share of possession and chances at goal as well we just didn't do well with them.

You can't have been impressed by that in any shape or form.

Vale didn't come out for the start  of the 2nd half, Donny were clinical and suddenly we're 3-1 down, they just then managed the game and kept falling over to get to the end..

There's no cover in front of the back 3 for Vale and their players were running directly at out back 3.

Wish Vale would go to 4 at the back and play a 4-3-3 or 4-2-4 with 2 central defenders, two attacking full backs, a defensive midfielder who stays back and at least 1 winger on the pitch.

Stockley's has to start up front, BBB real bright spot for Vale today, DM has to be more positive from the start.

Vale still look like a collection of individuals but will come good.

Their player Molyneaux was quality.

Managers players. Managers tactics. Managers team selection.

Will have a read of the thread late for comedy value from the usual player z is <ovf censored>, Vale are <ovf censored>, DM is <ovf censored> posters.

Better today in spells but you can see we lack connections on the pitch and our thought process with movement and passing is 1 yard too slow.

I can’t believe how poor Heneghan and Hall were today. I will be amazed if they play that bad again all season.

Enjoyed watching Benicio, more of that please and I thought Cover had a decent debut.

Byers cameo looks like the player we are missing in the midfield.

Curtis didn’t look right today.

What was up with ref? Dreadful officiating, zero control of the game. The standard so far this season has been very poor.

Donny will be right up there. Look a good team at this level with the excellent Molyneux as an outlet.

I thought it was a million times better than last season, and given time to gel, we will come good. It is way too early to call for his head when he only finished assembling his squad yesterday.
