That coat he wore yesterday.

The media is all about how poor Spurs were, can't give Moyes the props for changing it up and trying to actually win. It's sad the way the game has gone in this country where 14 teams in the top flight just don't matter, we are there to make up the numbers.

Spurs will be the bigger story, but it's a mix of both. Certainly them playing one centerback, that they subbed off at half, is tough and to our credit we exploited that. Son, Maddison and Kulusevski were completely absent in the first half, which we also had a part in.

But you compare the performance we gave, with the tactical changes we made, to Dyche: who would have treated this like any other match and sent only DCL forward, it's night and day.

This is a big reason for me why I'm happy with Moyes being the manager, even though in principle I'd have preferred a younger manager with a higher ceiling and all that.

If there's one thing he's shown at all the clubs in which he has at least a couple of years, he leaves the squad in a much better place than how he finds it.

Also, it's anybody's guess if Thelwell will stay, but you look at yesterday, Ndiaye, O'Brien and Lindstrom were our best players and they were all brought in for relatively decent fees. Imagine if the latter two had actually been given more of a chance so far this season?

I dont have a big downer on Thelwell, tbh. Just as I didn't on Steve Walsh who also recruited well when he was allowed to by the fat headed Dutch fraud who just wanted to spend £50M on a player.

So now it’s that we could have spent £20m and exchanged a player for them?

I think he`s blown some kind of fuse in his brain, as he`s totally lost it since the return of Moyes.

I`m not sure whether it`s being made to look like a massive cock head ( again ) over his " Dyche is going nowhere " proclamations or the fact that he hates Moyes so much, but he`s full on rabid frothing at the mouth at the mo.
 

Surprised he's wearing a suit and tie again, was always in a tracksuit at West Ham.

Amused me how when he went to Man. United he completely tried to replicate Fergie by wearing a suit every game with the club crest. Trying to be something he wasn't and didn't quite have the confidence to pull off his own look.

Yesterday for first 70 minutes was great. Just like old times and putting on a nice pair of old slippers. It just felt good. I'm sure they'll be some difficult moments to come in the run in (probably as early as Sunday) but yesterday has greatly reassured me he's still got enough nous about him to raise this rabble for some of the must win home games in the run in and that's without any new signings to freshen things up so far.

We need players in this window.

O'Brien stepped in and did well enough, but we dont have anything like a PL player at the club in the position.

We need a goal scorer. One goal in 18 games for Calvert-Lewin and he's coming out with stuff post match like "I'm just glad I was able to play my part in the win"...as if it's job done for the remainder of the season.

In the recent past we could have got Spence and Wood for about £20m the pair.

Criminal recruitment at this club. Fans have more idea than the scouting system and DoF.

Are you Victor Meldrew?

There's a chance they'd fallen out with the Dyche method. I maintain he knew it was coming and his comment about not doing as they were told was where the end began. Tbf to him, it seems he went to his bosses - the owners, told them the staff were no longer responding to him and that he was out of idea(s).

Grinding, defence at all costs, zero creativity, zero entertainment, zero goals football probably had got a bit stale, it had in the stands, it had on the field, and the closer we wavered towards the hot spots of relegation the more pressure it invited.

I have a lot more time for Dyche's honesty, his acceptance of responsibility, especially when compared to bobby 'phenomenal', and piggy 'context', those two weapons to this day still blame everyone else and talk up their failure as success. Dyche gets a hearty thank you for last season and the circumstances and difficulties we were dragged through. And a thanks for stepping aside now while there's still good chance to save this season. Others would have hung on and dragged us down.

He sacked himself to give us a chance? Fair play to him

There should be a lot moved on this summer if we stay up...some have their contracts up, some should be sold on..

Patterson
Keane
Mykolenko
Coleman
Doucoure
DCL
Beto
Chermiti
Holgate
Maupay

Loans sent back...

Harrison
Broja

It's a massive rebuilding job here.

I hope Moyes - if he stays on - is busy lining players up. I think he relies on McKinlay to do his decision making on that, so the likes of Thelwell might even need to go.
