'When this place is in full voice then it's a joy to see'

PORT Vale boss Darren Moore will not allow his players to rest on their laurels as they take on Carlisle United in Cumbria, today (3pm).

A win against Mark Hughes' side would mean the Valiants could clinch promotion on Monday at home to Grimsby Town but the League Two title is the aim.

And Moore says he takes no notice of where Carlisle are in the league despite them being second from bottom, six points adrift and battling to avoid the drop.

"The beautiful thing about me as people will know is the consistent messages I give," said Moore.

"We don't see the position where the team is. We just see the work that they've done and the work that we need to do in order to go up there and get any type of result.

"They are a football club that's turned a corner. Mark [Hughes] is a really experienced manager who has worked at higher levels than we are.

"Credit to him for taking on the role and giving them the belief and the fighting spirit in terms of where they are."
