2025/26 David Moyes

Questions need to be asked why he started Coleman last week cup game. And does not get off the bench last night.

Probs because he was shocking so why bring him on?

Right back at left back who knew... Get he was shocking and guessed it was about minutes and match fitness, evidently not.

I don't understand any of this sentence.

Moyes started the Derby game all wrong and gave the game away in the first thirty minutes, he played four players, v Wolves in the cup who had hardly kicked a ball this season, the subs came on at half time but couldn’t change the game, we couldn’t open Villa up and played like for like with one sub and brought two on with four bleedin’ minutes to go. West Ham, gave two thirds of the field to play with last night, we scored a very good goal with the pass coming from Garner who is playing very well this season but especially from centre midfield, but we couldn’t increase the lead and it was WHU who took over the game and I was glad to see we got a point at the end of the game. Moyes is Moyes and I doubt he will ever change, but you know that Rita, and any optimism many fans had not too long ago has been drained by these last few performances and a lot of it is down to Moyes and the ultra cautious way he sets his teams up,

I'm glad you picked out Garner because he picked a peach of a ball to feet to Beto vs villa who managed somehow to get all around it and no contact to an easy finish to near post. Garner winced then smiled and seemed to grumble. We're making chances, but there's no composure, Beto snatches at chances because that's all he has. I'm not wearing that all optimism has been drained by a loss at anfield, a loss with so many changes away in the league cup and two draws vs villa and west ham. That would betray the 19 games last season from January that had us top 6 form.

To many moaners, to many with an axe to grind, to many 'I told you so' types talking up the days of martinez and that other moron benitez.

Wanting him out is crazy at the moment. I'd just like to be able to alert him in the 60th minute of each match that he has 5 substitutions at his disposal.

I doubt many want him out now.

I definitely want him out in the summer, though. We were told he was here for stability. Well, that's this season. Time to push on then.

If we made Europe, I guarantee you the usuals would be out with the "our squad is not big enough for Thursday night football and a Premier League campaign" mantra before you can say "What is the point of this club, so?"

Too many people among our fanbase just want to be 11th. Being in the Premier League is ALL - even if it means being an irrelevance and simply making up the numbers.

Anyway, being in Europe won't solve the striker problem if we insist on spending 27m on a fella we are now deciding isn't up to it. We spent 9m on a full back we have declared is "one for the future". That's 36m not starting. Add another 36m for Dibling and the 12m for Acaraz and that's the best part of 85m not on the pitch last night at kick off. And we think we're rebuilding...

Nobody wants to be 11th long term pal.

People are happy with a year or two of middling in the league after years of relegation battlers which is entirely fair imo.

The people talking about Europe today are absolutely mental. We are nowhere near it and getting worked up because we aren't immediately in Europe a season away from four running relegation battles is bizarre.

Maybe because O'brien was falling apart at the seams.

He's lost a lot of credit over the last fortnight, and I'm back into that love-hate relationship that tarnished the end of Moyes 1.0

This is the sort of self imposed ceiling stuff that had people getting tired of him and wanting him to go before he went to United.

People forget a lot about that time but after the 3-0 Wigan cup loss loads, including myself, felt we had ran our course with him.

I'm certain he will turn this around into a very comfortable mid table finish. Whether that's acceptable to the section on here that apparently believes we deserve to walk into a European spot a year on from being in the bottom 3 is unlikely. Personally, I can accept a couple of steady stable years of progress to put some distance between us and the R word.

Wanting him gone right now is just the lowest common denominator reaction. On the other hand, there’s a small group who treat Moyes like he’s the second coming. The truth is, he’s fine, good enough to see us through until the end of the season. I’ll be happy if TFG decide to move on after that.

If be fine with this if we can attract better.

This time last year he was definitely the best we could attract, hopefully not the case soon.

Europe has to be the aim. It's not that not getting there would be a disaster and failure, but it really isn't that big of a jump to be in the shake up for it. We've finished 12th and 13th in terms of points won the last 2 years, going to 8th/9th isn't a stratospheric leap that's beyond imagination.
