I have my suspicions over Moyes concerning this window.

His whole demeanour has been to stress he's 'not happy' with things - but he knows full well stating that time and again means that it's not a great look for our efforts to get players to commit. We look desperate.

Moyes does not want expectation levels to grow. More signings will do that. His default position at this club has always been to get into a comfort zone where nothing is expected other than making a fist of poor circumstances.

He's constructed that situation again.

That's not to absolve those above him as they should have just swept his strategy aside (in fact they should never have kept him on). But Moyes will have dragged his feet and put opposition up to the thoughts of any committee set up above his head.

Hand him this season as he'll get us safe. Then I'd get him down the road next May.

I also think this has an effect on not just transfers but the players' confidence levels in general, who also start to mirror Moyes in thinking what games they do/don't have a chance of winning in.

contrast this with other managers like Thomas Frank or plenty of others. Moyes will never get another top job for this reason
 
I think all of our expectations were perhaps heightened by Moyes and Kinnear saying how this window’s unprecedented and how there’ll be so much change. So far we’ve brought in 2 (arguably 3 including Barry) players to improve the starting XI. Don’t get me wrong the Grealish loan is impressive and I’m very excited to see him play for us but I’d love to see TFG go all out for a top RW and a RB in the next few weeks rather than just making do with a sub par bargain basement option.

Grealish and KDH aside it's been a very mediocre window. The right side should have been dealt with as a priority. It probably was but the way its been handled is far from ideal. The end of this window and the next will undoubtedly define our season. If we go with what we have and avoid any major injuries (which is highly doubful) then we must expect some pain this season and that pain could well start tonight.
