'More to come' from in-form Port Vale - Moore

Darren Moore's side picked up their fourth clean sheet of the season at Barnsley on Saturday

Port Vale boss Darren Moore insists there is more to come after an "almost perfect away performance" brought a third straight win in League One.

The Valiants were second-bottom after failing to win any of their first seven league games, but Saturday's 2-0 win at Barnsley lifted them up to 16th - four points clear of the relegation places.

Moore was particularly pleased with his players' focus following the distractions of a high-profile Carabao Cup tie with Arsenal in midweek.

"It's probably almost the perfect away-day performance," he told BBC Radio Stoke.

"On the back of managing the week that we had, it was really important that we came here and got back into the league campaign, and it's three from three which I'm really pleased about."

Vale brought in 12 players over the summer as they looked to strengthen the squad for life back in League One following promotion.

Finding their goal touch as the new additions bed in has helped turn solid displays into points.

Moore's side found the net just twice in their opening six games, but have scored two goals in each of the last four league games, including three in four appearances from deadline-day signing Devante Cole.

"Everyone will always look at the results, but we always felt at the start of the season, even though we weren't getting the results, the performances were there," Moore said.

"Hopefully what people are seeing now is there's been a progression with the football club and the team as well.

"What I can say is there's more to come from the players, so we have to keep working on the training ground and pushing them on to show more of what we brought them to the football club for."
