2025/26 David Moyes

[kenada_blue]

Still the most reactive pragmatic manager in the league.

Never change.

 

[chicoazul]

Thought so….

It’s ok mate, it’s just a disappointing result at footie!

 

[dannyboy]

O’brien is told where to play blame moyes for square pegs in round holes

The time has definitely come for Patterson to get a run in the team. Still think O'Brien could do better defensively than what we've seen tonight but I guess he doesn't pick himself in that position.

I've blamed him for games this season, but not this one.

The players bottled it, completely lost control for 10 mins.

Embarrassing how unprofessional they were in that spell.

 

[Marcus Kendall]

Indeed.

Play form over names too.

Too many times has someone had their best game for us, like Alcaraz or Rohl an then legged out the team.

Never understood why Idrissa came straight back in the team after our midfield was outstanding at Villa. Same with Patterson being dropped after doing nothing wrong. It sends the wrong signals to the squad players that you'll be dropped regardless of performance

Very dissapointing and many since the start of the year especially.

Just curious why you don’t want to post those in your glorious thread on vaulting…

Interesting

He put the team more or less what most Would have wanted a half decent forward and we win that.
The difference in the quality at fullbacks between them and us is shocking( not that we havnt know that for a while).
Thought bringing on Armstrong. On was a bit of an odd one while your chasing a game though.
Some crap players at the club it will take time to fix.
Moyes needs to shift things around, we are so easy to play agaist.

I think a good number of people would have looked at the second half performance at Leeds and thought 3 centre backs helped us control the game and change the game. Moyes saw that and thought no, let’s go back to playing the same failed full back pairing of Mykolenko and O’Brien.

Is it really though mate?!

 

[ToffeeTim]

Alternatively a two week break to shake some heads, work on things might be what we need

The home form is mainly due to mentality and rubbish team selections by DM

He isn't learning. He's making the same mistakes every home game.

 

[murphy89]

Terrible subs that just weren’t needed. We were on top at that point

 

[Bebeto]

Let the feasting commence...

Yep...be careful what you wish for...look at west ham. They have probably a better squad depth than us and they are fighting relegation. For me this is on Angus first, then perhaps TFG which appears to be quite happy with our recruitment team.

 

[Daveysgingerlovechild]

Funnily enough, matching Moyes's results but playing a bit of football while doing it would be a serious improvement. What we have right now is a grind. It doesn't have to be quite as ugly in what is supposedly an entertainment industry.

It is classic Moyes though. It was turgid for significant spells of his first stint. Get his best team out and im the mood we could play some great stuff too.

Feels like we're in transition. Question is if folk, particularly our owners, want to invest in a Moyes rebuild or look elsewhere.

Neither approach is without risk, missteps, or frustration.

 

[blueblood]

If he does one thing before he leaves, he HAS to find us a proper on field captain. Someone to drag the players around the pitch and to tear those not concentrating to bits. We concede so many goals because one or two players switch off for just a second. And it’s enough.

We concede a quick second goal so so many times. Rudderless.

Yes. This collapse after conceding one at home has cost us loads of times. Today, Spurs, Newcastle, Brentford, Wolves. All the same pattern. All at home.

 

[DOMNOLAN]

Before the fullbacks, this is on the striker. We had enough clear cut chances to win this easily. Not on moyes this one...he selected the right starting 11, and the changes were OK...we must have the worst strikers in the entire league.

Nah…

O’Brien at RB?
Gana and Garner, which never works.
KDH at 10 which isn’t his position and never will be.
Keane on the pitch.
Myko on the pitch.

Made a defensive sub and we immediately conceded 2.

To be honest when we had all the players missing we looked more solid at Forest.
Especially in midfield.
