The Valiants' manager was ecstatic when the visitors won a well-earned victory thanks to a header from Jaheim Headley just before halftime.
Darren Moore praised his team's "ten out of ten performances" after Port Vale defeated Birmingham 1-0 at St Andrew's to eliminate them from the Carabao Cup.
When Jaheim Headley's header just before halftime gave the visitors a well-earned victory, the Valiants' manager was ecstatic.
On the cusp of halftime, the left-back nodded home Ryan Croaddale's cross after James Beadle's goal was the result of persistent pressure.
On a night when the home team was clearly not up to par, Vale had the best of the opportunities.
Moore stated: "I told the boys that we would have to face it if they wanted to see quality, so we needed ten-out-of-ten performances from the entire team, and we did."
Because of the questions they raised, we had a good performance both off the ball and on the ball to capitalise on the opportunities that presented themselves.
We have been working pretty hard since the weekend since we understand how essential set goals are, therefore I was really happy about that. When we had one, we always looked scary.
Their home crowd's edginess was palpable. Despite their valiant defence, we were able to score.
Although he acknowledged his team struggled, Birmingham manager Chris Davies made ten changes from the squad that defeated Oxford. "We suffered," he remarked.
We lacked our typical rhythm and were unable to generate enough scoring opportunities.
We weren't as fluid as normal. It's not a justification.
"You never know about players unless you play them, so I thought this was a good opportunity to play some of the players who haven't had many minutes."
