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

We’ve had some special managers over the years.

You can put Darren on that list as well  mate 🤓👍

Wow, the last 8 comments all by NN, all saying the same thing basically.  Good to see you back, I was getting a little worried whether you were ok

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. 

Found Lee Sinnott's burner account.

 Last night I watched  Garrity , John and  Sang stare at Moore  with a “ What are we doing”?  look, particularly Garrity .

Of course you did. So you’ve never noticed before that players often ask the bench for instructions when something is happening during a game? When something  is causing the team a problem that they need to sort. This isn’t something unique to DM,  i think it’s something that’s been happening in all the years I've been watching them. I think you’re just looking for stuff to pick up on and twist to a narrative. 
 

The reason the game changes is because he realises it isn’t working and tweaks it to something that works better with the players we have. That could be down to many things……   players not carrying out instructions, some of them just not performing, the manager getting it wrong, the opposition getting it right (which is something that most fans never acknowledge)…..  and all of that probably happened on Tuesday. But why he starts so conservatively is anyone’s guess. Very frustrating.

Since he started taking a shot of jager every time he mentions the words “Darren moore” or “manager” hes been too plssed to post. And of course he doesn’t pop us as much when we win.

Nah, <ovf censored> that. Pick a strong team , go out and get into them straight away and let them know who you are , and where they are . Never mind all this  science bollox. Moore doesn’t  know what he’s doing . Vale Park  is like a library at times. 

Hope Moore learns something from that first half and rectifies it in last 8 games .

If we are going into a game at home there's no reason to me why he cannot go all attack .

You cannot have 5 men back, and expect get any kind of fluidity in the play, and from.corners how can hit a team with a quick counter if you got everyone back and have not  one of your players on half way line .

Corners the lack of quick decisive movement needs working on you surely have a way of unlocking oppositions if the movements good. 

On Tues Tolaj nearly got John in more of that if you playing as wing back what's stopping you legging into opponents penalty box 

That's what annoys me about Vale we don't seem have that guts get past a opponent and get 1 a penalty have we had 1 at home this season I think not but won't have if folk don't try get past there opponents. 

Thst first half was terrible in the main .

However the second half was better so pick up from there sat .

I think that's at the root of the frustration with Mr. Moore - we don't seem able to review what happened in the previous games, adjust our team selection and tactics, and then win. It's Groundhog Day all the time...

I don't think anyone would have an issue playing like this away, as long as at home we were actually proactive. 

 

Even when we win at home it is normally by a single goal and more often than not we are utter <ovf censored> in one of the two halves. We've not had many games where you come away thinking I can't fault that performance. 

 

I have to admit there's part of me that thinks the shine would be taken off a promotion this year because I know I have to sit through this turgid <ovf censored> in a higher league next season. The games I've missed this season is criminal really considering we've been at the top for 90% of it. I just have zero excitement and no expectations going into any game. 

 

I give managers a lot more time than most, historically, although Crosby and Moore I think I was ahead of the curve on. I'm not sure I actively want him sacked, but if he got poached and it was announced this afternoon, I'd be happy about it. 

 

 

 

 

Yet we are still 4th in the league...

100% agree - thank you for articulating this better than I have been able to.
