Darren Moore

[Iberian Red]

Exposed. Tw@t really did leave us in the shite.

Correct, but I think that might be contested by someone on here.

Who might that be,and why don't you name them?

Who said I had any one in particular in mind.

Absolute conman Moore. He had Whiteman, Sheaf, Jacob Ramsey, Niall Ennis, Dieng, prime Sadlier, prime Anderson, Reece James, Copps, Josh Sims... Any manager should have gotten results with that lot.

[adamtherover]

Port vale getting hammered. 

[karldew]

Darren Moore in the bottom four does roll off the tongue easy

[Chris Black come back]

Lost again. Hammered 3-0 away at Derby. Didn’t have a shot on target.

That’s four games played, four games lost.

Actually, yes. A point!

Port Vale haven’t lost four on the bounce. That’s something that’s been made up. A fantasy.

When you put it like that we should have been up there. Don’t forget he had prime Marquis too.

......And Alfie May on the bench!

I think him and Marquis overlapped by a few weeks only and Marquis left before even playing in a pre-season game. Wider point is perhaps that there was a Marquis windfall of sorts and he still didn’t sign a proper striker for another 5 months when Fejiri joined. In between he signed Kwame, Rakish and that lad Sterling on loan from Spurs who got injured pretty much immediately.

They do tend to yo-yo between L1 and L2 anyway so no surprise they are down there.

And Niall Ennis.

Trip to PV next season looking good . Nice away end there

[Metalmicky]

With 4 losses and a draw against his name already, I wonder if the chairman at PV is now reflecting as to whether the 5 and a half year deal he gave DM was a little excessive...

I note they play Leyton Orient in a week also - should be a good battle of wits between 2 ex-Rovers managers...

I’ve only been there once, in the mid sixties, on a Yorkshire Traction Bus.
We lost 4-2 and despite losing we had to run like the wind back to the busses with PV fans in pursuit.
I remember having crouch down in the aisle as housebricks came through the windows.

[Bentley Bullet]

I went to Vale Park in the sixties when Stanley Matthews was PV's manager. The pitch was awful. Rovers won 1-0.

[scawsby steve]

I've been 4 times to Vale Park. W 2-0, L 0-3, L 0-3, L 0-3.

The good news, guys, is that I'll probably be there next season.

[BillyStubbsTears]

I've been once. L 0-5. We were lucky to get 0.

[Campsall rover]

I've been once. L 0-5. We were lucky to get 0.

Been 6 times.
Won 2 drew 1 lost 2 if my memory is correct.
The other game early 1980 was postponed at 1-30
Ref from Burnley called Scott. Never forgiven him.
Things I remember eh crazy.

[Campsall rover]

I've been once. L 0-5. We were lucky to get 0.

Night game.
Cusack was manager. Got soaked on the Kop.
Yes it was a whitewash. We were awful.

Nope. Easter Saturday 1988. Mackay was the manager. We played most of Beaglehole's kids and we got absolutely trounced.

It was part of a run of 1 win and 8 points from the last 18 games as we whimpered out of Div 3.

Never wanted to go back there since!

[BillyStubbsTears]

I think the night match was the year before when we lost 4-2. I wonder what our overall record is there?

Sorry think your right BST
Memory playing tricks. 
The 4-2 was still awful though. We were well outplayed.

The 1988 game I did not go to.

Our record at Vale Park not great.
Lost 17, Drew 3, Won 5

[Chris Black come back]

It is not all down to Moore but they have won once in 14 league games and lost nine in that run. Really not heading in a good direction. League season didn't start well for them either getting hammered 7-0 by the Dingles.

[tommy toes]

I went one Tuesday night with the late great John Barker. We worked at the plant so went on the train, knowing there wasn't one back and we had work in the morning.
Must have been 1971 or 1972.
We lost 1-0 to a late goal I think.
We set off thumbing it, eventually this bloke picked us up and dropped us off near Uttoxeter.
Started walking towards Derby.
The first car to pass picked us up and dropped us off at Derby Station, so lucky.
Caught the first train back to Donny, just in time to get to work

Hiya Tommy, your post reminded me of the great times I had with friends back in the sixties when we hitch hiked all over the country, often to get to Rovers away games.
We went as far as Torquay as 15 year olds, before the days of the M5 too.
We were lucky enough to get home on one of the supporters buses, getting home at 9am Sunday then playing Sunday League football with a 10.30 kick off.
We once got a lift to Grimsby from Tudworth Corner with the match referee who even got us complementary match tickets.
So many great times.

[tommy toes]

Yes hound.
Some of the best times of my life were going away with the Rovers when we were young.
Wouldn't have missed them for the world.
I could go on forever with some of the stuff we used to get up to.
So many laughs and scrapes.

[Chris Black come back]

Lost again yesterday. 2-1 at home to Shrewsbury.

Now 7 points from safety. Absent a very major turnaround, if he keeps his job we will be facing him next season.
