The Valiants won 1-0 away at rivals Crewe Alexandra last time out. Striker Jayden Stockley scored a late winner against the Railwaymen.

Speaking ahead of their match against the Bantams, Moore has said, as per the official club website: “It’s another important game on Tuesday. We’ll get ready and prepare for that game. In the last seven days we have late strikes against Morecambe and then a late strike at Crewe, what it shows from the boys is their commitment and endeavour to keep going.”

He added: “We know the result wasn’t right on Tuesday (against Barrow) and we hit the crossbar and post on four different occasions. If you’re going to hit the woodwork, you’re in the right areas and on another day they go in. It’s just a matter of us keeping going right till the very end and that’s what we want from the players and hopefully the supporters have seen that this season that we have a never say die attitude.”

Moore, 50, has since remained in charge at Vale Park. He is an experienced head coach who has overseen just under 350 matches from the dugout so far.

The former centre-back was appointed as Port Vale’s manager in February last year and has been in charge for over 12 months now.

He has also had spells in the past at West Brom, Doncaster Rovers, Sheffield Wednesday and Huddersfield Town.

Will Port Vale get promoted from League Two?

Port Vale are in a strong position and will want to keep getting points on the board.

Their game against Bradford City is an important one and is a great opportunity to beat one of the teams in and around them.
