2025/26 David Moyes

[Moomin]

High likelihood we finish a place below where we did last season. Some progress eh…

We did progress out of the cups quicker this season as well.

 

[Username.]

Yeah, we really need to beat Spurs and end the season in a high. They look a shambles at the moment. Watched their last game and they were worse than us or Sunderland.

Mate spurs will beat us and comfortably.

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

But we’ve still made progress on last season which gives us something to build on.

What a manager, how anyone could criticise him is beyond me, our saviour

 

[DayL08]

600+ games, 13 years.
1 cup final that we bottled.
No màs.

The semi final against an awful Liverpool team told you everything you ever needed to know

 

[Dyo1878]

That away form drops off next season which is a likely scenario and we are right in the thick of it.

The likely only saving grace is the 3 teams coming up probably wont get near 30 points.

I don't see us getting much more than 42/43 points if he stays.

What’s the progress weve we’ve made just out of interest?

When we had our first eleven available we were pushing for Europe. If we strengthen in the summer I think we get Europe next season.

At the end of the day, it’s the first European chase we’ve had in a long time, but we aren’t good enough at the moment.

Now, if Moyes thinks staying at the current level is acceptable then I would say he does deserve the sack. If he wants to make the team better next season then he deserves another season.

 

[Moomin]

You genuinely think that we can get a result at Spurs

We have been winning every game in this run in.

Sunderland are on a slide and on the beach.

 

[Lob]

Got to go at the end of the season or we will just stay static. Really don't want another season of this. Want to be moving forward with innovation, strategy and courage.

 

[JobForTheMoyes]

And yet they have won there last two games.

According to the form table , the only teams worse than us are Wolves, Burnley and Chelsea.

No, they drew their match on Monday. They should have lost.

 

[OzarkBlue]

Davie loves the underdog mentality. Always looking to nick a point from a lead and if we hold on for 3 he can proudly talk about being scrappy and resolute. Doesn't matter if playing Citeh or Wolves. What a manager and playing style we have for recruiting.

 

[preposterousvelios]

The thing is though, the stats will bear out throughout the season it’s not been the progress that people were talking about. He doesn’t have much of a personality Moyes but he seems to have people believing in him which is bewildering. The only thing to do is 1) use your eyes and 2) look at the stats

I genuinely think all it comes down to is that some older fans like that he's a traditional 'football man'

 

[leslad]

It’s never been good enough. The league is a marathon and we weren’t able to cope with losing key players at key moments in the season. But we’ve still made progress on last season which gives us something to build on.

You can be as negative as you like, but it’s still the early stages of a rebuilding process.

I'm curious about the specific points of progress you think we've made compared to last season?

I could play devil's advocate, and say, we've spent a lot of money to fail to improve key positions we've been short in for years, in fact we've got worse at centre forward, worse at right back, and worse at centre half, our brightest centre half looks no longer to have fitness levels to keep with the demands of games, and have virtually the same points total as the past two seasons.

I'm all ears to positive points you might make, but in my opinion, the above is not progress, that's going backwards - especially given the age of many players in the squad and how much all other teams seem to be able to improve.

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

You genuinely think that we can get a result at Spurs

Said it earlier, West Ham get beat, all Spurs need is a point against Chelsea, they get that and the game against us there is no pressure on them. They then turn it on and give their fans something to shout about.

 

[COYBL25]

And any half decent manager would realize fairly quicky that tark/keane are crap together.
We went through this with Mina on the bench years ago. i cant believe it's still an issue.
Like, it genuinely boggles the mind.

Exact same with the right back situation mate.

 

[Paul Rideout]

One point better than a Dyche full season (adjusting for the points we got taken off us).

Worse points per game from last season after he took over.

failure to get one of NINE European places (might never happen again),

£100m+ spent on players, with about half of that barely seeing the pitch.

This isn’t progression.
