2025/26 David Moyes

[RAFUH]

In case folks are confused, our manager is Moyes...and this is his thread.
Understand there will be some comparison, but good lord some of ya'll (on both sides) are worrying

This is a really interesting debate guys, thank you for your contributions and let’s up the intensity a little and really show that passion.

 

[jceverton]

In which case he'll have done worse than the last half season from 24/25: 1.31 v 1.63. Let's see how it plays out but if that happens I'd call it fairly disappointing after spending £100m plus.

 

[jceverton]

It's difficult to understand the criticism of Moyes not playing a supposedly "more attacking" fullback when that fullback spent most of the last game he played passing backwards.

That's called tactics and they are dictated by the manager.

Moyes hauled him off after 71 minutes and duly dropped him from the starting line up for the next game, so maybe they weren't the tactics Moyes instructed.

Doubt it, they're the tactics he been playing for most of the season.

Where would you say he should be finishing this season?

62 points seems more than reasonable to me so where ever that gets you.

He is a wum mate. Check the Patterson thread if in any doubt

 

[Bedfordblue]

Welcome to a player and/or manager thread...obey the rules and:

You think it’s bad now, wait until ½ time tomorrow.

 

[blue to the bone]

Talk about changing expectations to suit your narrative by folks
My goodness

 

[BarryTheBlue]

62 points seems more than reasonable to me so where ever that gets you.

So based of last seasons table 8th

Which you've just said would be a disappointment
