Darren Moore takes West Bromwich Albion training as caretaker manager prepares for his first match in charge of doomed Premier League outfit

Darren Moore was vocal in training on Thursday as West Bromwich Albion's new caretaker boss tried to rouse his under-performing players.

Former Baggies captain Moore, who stepped up after Alan Pardew's sacking on Monday, was seen belting out instructions and he even provided a demonstration with a football at his feet.

The 43-year-old, who retired from playing in 2012, will take charge of his first game as a manager on Saturday when West Brom host Swansea in the Premier League.

Moore's dream must be to save the Baggies from relegation, but at this stage it is hard to envisage the Midlands outfit finishing the season anywhere but last place.
