2025/26 David Moyes

[maccavennie]

Moyes deserves no benefit of the doubt whatsoever tonight

He didn't take the game seriously with his team selection and that's unacceptable. He should be fired if the new owners want to create any sort of standards at the club.

Your not wrong about the words "creating standards"

Would be hard to get excited about winning the Carabao Cup, I'll be honest, it's down there with the Charity Shield and the Emirates Cup

Turning your nose up at a trophy, that’s comical.

Did you see Newcastle when they won it last season? Those happy days beneath us are they?
That’s insane mate

Not going to criticise the manager here. Some of the players here tonight we've spent good money on in summer, attitude and performance needs to be there and it needs to be a squad. Wolves made more changes than us and won, would expect even a squad with a few of our fringe players in to be beating a squad at the bottom of the table without a win.

Seriously disappointed with the attitude and ability of the players, Alcaraz, McNeil and Barry particularly.

 

[Groucho]

Did we just lost a must win relegation battle?

Poor game poor result, but some of the comment are over the top.

Yeah I mean I’m all for Moyes, and no he/we didn’t do great this evening but some perspective should be retained.

We need to get out of the habit as a fanbase to not go full on ‘Holy Armageddon is coming’ after a cup exit.

 

[bullybeef]

Dont chat rubbish

Were all annoyed by the game but one bad result isnt the time to go so overboard ffs

We’ll see sausage.

I really wanted him to succeed but he’s still got the old failings

 

[Wat Tyler]

second half i would have liked to have seen Beto play with Barry, we were chasing a goal, going two up top would have gave Wolves more to think about.

I've always been pro Moyes and tried to defend him but he just broke one of the key rules for me. Its unacceptable to pick a team like that and go out of a competition. I know it sounds drastic but I honestly think he should be sacked. I said exactly the same about Silva as well.

 

[Billy_whit]

We’ve lost 4 games out of 7 mate.

Won 3 including Mansfield.

I mean kid yourself it’s different by all means but it really isn’t

We hasn’t lost 4 games this season.

 

[NSNO1878EFC]

Moyes basically said in the Mansfield programme notes that the League was by far the priority and the Friedkins have probably made that clear. He made too many changes tonight but to give yourself good chances in cups, you need to be able to build a good squad and that doesn’t happen without finishing high up in the League.

You might get a lucky run but sooner or later, you’ll more than likely come up against a top team or two and without a good squad, you’re not going to win it.

 

[Lanolin]

Get your point but what if we had and say Grealish, Gueye and/or Ndaiye had picked up injuries?

What if they had? What if they’d got injured when we ended up bringing them on anyway? What if they get injured in training tomorrow? What if they drop a tin of beans on their foot when making their kids dinner?

 

[Thomasc]

We hasn’t lost 4 games this season.

Sorry you are right, 3

 

[Grfirestorm]

Had a mare tonight. Starting lineup, subs, tactics.

Needs a performance against West Ham so we don't kill any early season momentum.

Yeah next match is crucial - we went into the International break with 6 points from 9 and a cup win. One from 9 and a cup defeat and we’re not far off bad old days. Beat West Ham and we can be back evens again.

Can see what you're trying to say but for me, every cup exit should be seen as a travesty.

None more so than ones that are self imposed.

That's bollocks mate ,we need a trophy so badly and a win gets you in the europa Cup.

No-one is getting sacked due to a Carabao Cup game. Moyes is under zero pressure at the moment.
