Big Dave, who made his third appearance for the reserves at Liverpool this week, said: "There's a lot more to come from Darren Moore.
"And it's all geared to getting back to how people remember me, being a strong physical presence at the back.
"Psychologically, it's a big boost for me to get through 90 minutes.
"Because now in my mind I know I've got games coming up where I know I can play the whole match. "I'm training in the week now, knowing I've got a game to look forward to at the end of it.
"I came in after the Liverpool game with just general soreness in my knee and groin which is to be expected after seven months of not kicking a ball in anger. And already I'm preparing for next Monday's Newcastle game.
