2024/25 David Moyes

[grandjoeblue]

That's the big worry. Has anything really changed with Moyes?

Overall, great job to date...but his approach has a shelf-life at clubs that aspire to winning things. We're not there yet, of course, but a leopard doesn't change his spots.

I'm delighted about where we are now - and that's down to Moyes - but today shows you that old habits die hard. Let him stabilise us for a season, but we need to recruit well - manager-wise - next year.

I think he has limitations but even with his limitations we should finish around midtable next season which would be good enough progression.

These players have form for being unable to keep their heads in a situation like that so I’m just happy it wasn’t worse. Wouldn’t say it’s on Moyes

knee jerk after a draw?

Not at all. I would never have returned for him in the first place. But as a short-term stabiliser, he's been great and should be fine for a while.

As somebody to put away crap sides like United today with a two-goal lead? Not so good.

Out

Poor approach second half. Went in at HT with a spring in their step and United flat, came out and let United find their way into the game. Should have made the subs before their first as you could see them getting back into it.

We played 3 games last week so I think he was looking at fitness. We would have seen it out had we not given those free kicks away. You cannot give Bruno Fernandes opportunities. He is the one good player they have

When you think about the nu.ber of injuries we are carrying it's a wonder we are getting results we needed to make a few subs that second half looked very leggy

 

[Mase]

Haha here comes the melt down.

 

[Frenk]

knee jerk after a draw?

Is it though? I see where his thinking is. We are rebuilding and have to get it right. I love what Moyes has done, but we are approaching this huge crossroad in our history, the chance that could make us successful again.

Always annoyed me the respect Dyche give to VAR.

Sometimes you have to fume.

All they get is a fine. If I was rich I’d be calling them out every week and just taking the fines.

Yeah, as critical as I am about his approach at times, his results have been outstanding overall in straitened circumstances. This needs to be acknowledged.

In the medium-term, those circumstances will change (as they did for Dyche) and then there will be different demands on the manager. But hats off to him for what he's done since he came in. We have to be very happy overall.

I really hope Moyes goes in at the ref and not just for the pen

They were nowhere near matching us until the ref started giving them every dive in the second half

I'm not sure it's as simple as that. If they don't get that soft original free kick and don't score a free kick then they don't even look like scoring and it maybe ends 3 or 4 nil

 

[Osamabindiesel]

That penalty should have been given every day of the week. Even for his shortcomings in this one I can't blame him. No manager is perfect. Should have had the win today though.

 

[PeregrineT]

To be fair, we dont have enough healthy players to put out anything resembling a lineup we want. Getting a tune out of the cheapeast starting squad in the league(based on Net Spend) is one thing. Getting a tune out of the backups is another. Hes done a great job with that, and considering we are 12th on the table I think thats all we can ask for this season.

After a big summer then we can really judge how he might do long term, though I think he honestly doesnt want to do more than 2.5 years.

 

[Mase]

Same people moan about needing players in January, because the team is thin and not very good. Are also complaining about Moyes needs to do better…he’s got the same players. Come on now
