The reason I stopped going was the utter dross served up by Moore once he arrived.

He had 17 games,we won 2 and he binned off the most creative player we had in Chizzy.

A five year contract was always a risk. Lovely man,but as stubborn as hell with his set up. WBs are only as good as their fitness...Clark and Gabriel for two.

I think Cole is the only hope this season.

And if there can be 4 teams worse than us.

I posted previously to say if you don't win any of your first 7 then you can't afford another bad run. It's no wins in 5

Before coming to us Devante Cole had scored 51 league goals in 8 years. 
He will be 31 in May. 
I didn’t get the hype when we signed him. 
A massive downgrade on Tolaj.

So many problems with Vale at the moment. Devante Cole really isn't one.

Also just read that captain fantastic didn’t travel back with the squad either and flat out refused to get on to the team coach. 

If this is true then this is the clearest indication yet that the players have lost all confidence in DM and that he has well and truly lost the dressing room. They have simply had enough.

Oh come on ,do me a favour it was the same old clueless team selection with players being asked to play in the wrong position and the only thing justified will be Darren getting binned off  because he's out of his depth and lost the dressing room

Vale crikey the only club who take a good following and give up at 1 -0 down .

I hate league 1 we are so dire in this league ,dont bother going up again if going have bellies tickled by the likes of Stockport /Bolton 

Disgusted in the players 

Is that the best you can do ?

Moore is under pressure now, looking in if have  half playing for him ,and half want him gone he has to be gone 

He is proving he is a very poor league 1 manager .

The results speak for themselves 

If people are falling out he needs be gone 

Yo yo club sick of it

But he still scored 4 in 4 Spunkers 

No one else has

Darren's on borrowed time, The clocks ticking

I'm afraid to say that the clock is ticking for Moore.

3 points out of 6 might save him, in the immediate term.

Anything less - gone!

Nah ,He's got to go , can't defend the indefensible

It felt more like a 3421 today rather than a 343. Headley & Garrity seemed to be playing as attacking midfielders. 

DM’s refusal to play with anything other than 3 centre backs is worrying when we only have (arguably) one League One quality centre back in our squad. 

Whether 343 or 3421, you’ve got 3 CBs and only 2 in CM. That 2 needs energy, grit and a bit of guile. Not sure Walters and Byers gives you that.

One last point I’ll make for the night and Carol really needs to look into this…….

Darren Moores Port Vale managerial career stats in league 1……..

Played 32. 
Won 5. 
Drawn 8. 
Lost 19. 
Goals 22. 
Goals against 48.

23 points from 32 games with a goal difference of minus 26.

Any Vale supporter of any worth would want this man sacked tonight but the media spin is so good that you’re told it’s all good. 

It’s not.

It’s absolutely atrocious.

Anyone owning a business, with someone putting in those numbers, would fire them.

Nobody but nobody can defend what you see on your eyes and the numbers that back it up.

Sacking him would not be ruthless by the way. It would be absolutely obvious and the best for the club.

Over to Carol.

Will she make the same mistake twice?

 

In the modern game stats and analytics are everything, based on that I just can't see how DM can carry on,  if it's going to happen I just hope its quick and Vale Park doesn't turn toxic.

Yep, the clocks clearly ticking now as it seems like the players have lost all confidence in him.

Dread to tell you that the same recruitment team is busy working on the January window.

Would you be happy giving Moore another window with Carols money ?

You say that as though my post you were replying to wasnt criticising the absolute shambles of a transfer window we had.

Not sure I could stomach the Robbie Savage show, Steve Evans yes, but for a steady hand who seems to have good comms skills, id try and tempt Bowyer from Burton - finance wise, probably within our grasp

Nah, I'd rather have Savage than Mr Blobby

Stockport and Bolton are probably 2 of the best 5 teams easily in L1. We were caught in a whirlwind today and just couldn’t stem the tide. I understand why he went with a high press and it was working, but their quality shone through.  It’s leaking goals to really poor sides that needs to stop, Wigan, Leyton Orient etc. 

You Conner keep making excuses because it's happening against other teams 

So your argument is flawed mate and Darren's gotta go 

We’ve managed to use 29 players so far this season. It’s so bad it’s impressive.
