My opinion won't change that Moore is the worst manager we have ever had. The only thing he has done well is to get a good balanced squad together. However, constant team changes & defensive line ups are appalling. You should always play your strongest team. If someone gets injured, replace them with the next best. There is no reason for ever playing 3 centre backs at home. 

The worst manager we have ever had......... sorry that is just ridiculous

Smith, Butler and Gannon would run him close.

Worse than Jim Gannon, Lee Sinnott, Neil Aspin or Micheal Brown?

We’ve had some special managers over the years.

Did I say or even suggest 4th place guarantees promotion, no I didn't.

Just curious but "Dust teach thee granny how suck eggs".  I'm well aware of the current promotion/relegation system thank you.

The above is the 2nd odd reply to me on this thread, I chose to ignore the first one.

May I respectfully suggest you try and read and comprehend what's posted not what you "Think" is posted, we all have our "Off days" but come on PVFC764.

 

Never said you did.  Just saying if we finished 4th that does not guarantee promotion as a general comment.

Sir Stanley Matthews would take some beating nearly kicked out of the football league with him and he was a Vale fan in his younger days.you have to be a very special person to support PORT VALE FC .Patience and disappointment go arm in arm .

Can Tolaj now be our designated free kick taker please, two superb free kicks last night that he was very unlucky with

Nope it will probably be Tom Sang 👍

Have Vale fans always been this vocally negative in the stadium? It feels like it’s worse now than it has been previously. 

Don’t get me wrong - the first half last night was garbage. Tedious. Crap. I was quietly dismayed.

I was absolutely staggered by the open dissent. Audible groans, whingeing, booing. This was 20 minutes in. Classic wails of GET EET FORWARD. Men on the verge of breakdowns. 

The atmosphere was utterly horrendous and, whilst I accept that that was largely because of the performance, we’re not robots - we’re allowed to make a racket even if the team aren’t doing well.

Dunno. I can moan for England but I was genuinely shocked, and a bit disappointed, by both the vocal negativity and the absolute muteness of most Valiants last night. We’re still level points for third with excellent recent home form!

I know people will say “well, the performance was bad, ergo the fans are allowed to boo and offer no chanting”, but I find that such a depressing and passive view of being a football fan - that all we can do is react to what’s in front of us and can never even hope to create an atmosphere independent of performance. 

Atmosphere sounded very good from my armchair 2nd half.

His record as a manager suggests otherwise whether we agree or not with his style, selection and formation.

Honest question mate , would you be happy to pay for a season ticket next season watching Darren's tribute act to Southgates ultra cautious tactics cos I won't be going nowhere near as much because I want to be entertained at a football match not bored out of my skull

Agree with all of that,he is the most frustrating but not the worst by a mile(I will say though a lot of his football is the most boring but again not the worst)

He's on par with Aspo

Not having that. He's had one decent spell at West Brom as his first job, then what? Failed at Doncaster, did well at Sheff Wed in League One when they were able to outspend and outmuscle everyone else in the league, failed at Huddersfield, then come here, spent megabucks and done nothing more than Andy Crosby could have done. He's never done well when he hasn't been able to financially out-bid every other team in the league.

I've never warmed to the bloke but I'm now firmly in the "Moore Out" camp. Carol can't keep hemorrhaging money when he's so crap. All of the talk around the stadiumm and on social media at 7pm last night was "what's the team? Where's Tolaj and Walters?" yet Moore says in his post-match interview that we can all say that with hindsight. No, we could all see that before kick off you muppet. He's cost us the points in that game, no argument about it

you try and read and comprehend what's posted not what you "Think" is posted, we all have our "Off days" but come on PVFC764.

You have every right to disagree,as you say he did well at WBA but you say then what,failed at Doncaster,did he?? he left them in the league one play off positions to join sheff wed so no he didn't imo,he then as you say had a big budget at sheff wed but we all know big budgets dont always get you promotion,he got sheff wed promoted to the championship. Yes we can say he failed at Huddersfield(but he didn't bring in any of his players and wasn't given time to build a team),he then failed(again without any of his players) when he came here,he has since been given a very good budget and had 2 windows here and has us sat in joint 3rd ...... so like it or not i will stick with he isn't a terrible manager 

He's a terrible manager he only knows one way of setting his teams up there's no plan B, C or D. , He's tactically inept
