2025/26 David Moyes

This stadium intimidates Moyes.

It's world class and he's at best mediocrity personified

Leaving KDH and Branthwaite on the bench when their better distribution was needed underlines that.

There will come a point this season where he has to choose between building a future team around Branthwaite KDH Rohl Dibling, or sticking with Keane Gana McNeil and their ‘prem experience’. If he picks the latter he’ll be out of a job come the summer. He needs to be bold and pick the younger quicker more dynamic players.

Can throw in Tarkwoski vs O’Brien on this one also.

We’re not going down. Now is the perfect time to run O’Brien an Branthwaite together and play a higher line, get them ready to start next season as the preferred paring.

It will be O’Brien to right back next game though, Keane back in with Tarkwoski, Branthwaite off the bench again.
 
Tactics from 2004 ffs, cramming his favourites into starting line ups and putting players with no pace out wide (and on their weaker foot to boot). Ridiculous and it should be called out.

You can feel the hostility towards him slowly building. Before the end of the season they'll likely be a result or performance that properly turns the fanbase against him, tonight it felt very, very gnarly at times. That Barry goal has just about pulled it back for now (people are really behind the lad), but there's no question people are getting seriously P'd off now.

Shake hands and move on in the summer, he can go with head high and we can try to go down a new road as a team. If he hadn't already had a long spell at the club I think they'd be more trust and willingness to let this play out long-term, but we've already been down this exact road with this fella before. Tepid performances in-between good results that are largely down to our few quality players and not the tactics. No appetite for this at all.

Nah - do last seasons tactics and go all out for short-term glory!
 
Got it wrong first half but made some smart tactical and personnel changes, leading to a much better second half

Just as I’d critique a manager for making poor changes I’ll have to give him credit for making good ones
Smacked of desperation, I doubt he spent the week setting up
In a 5 to
Match Leeds up just to think we may change it at some point . We got battered and again at home what was the plan ??
