2025/26 David Moyes

[goldfinchmule]

As soon as the fourth went in, Dibling and Aznou should have come on

 

[skumar55]

We need a right back, good forward and central midfielder

 

[Marius57]

Can’t see us signing 3 first team starters

That ain’t happening

We need 5. 2 full backs, a CB, a CM and a striker that can score.

Even if Branthwaite gets fit, we still need better alongside him.

 

[knowing your history]

And of course Tete now scores at Spurs.

Guy is no world beater but he would've been a solid and experienced option to sort out a problem position for a year while a younger target is sourced and signed.

 

[RomanReigns]

Really poor today

Newcastle without an away win in 9 games

Should have been there for the taking

 

[Toffeepot]

I expect a tough day down at Bourenmouth, but this feller better have them right up for the Forest game.

We've put in 2 horror show home performances out of the last three and we cant be seeing fans walking out from the 55th minute or so too often. Conceded 7 and scored 3 in the last three at home.


Get this new stadium form back to being solid. It's in danger of turning on us.

I know we've had a poor recent record at Bournemouth and they are better at home but they are on a poor run and have lost Senesi at the back for this one through suspension. West Ham put two past them at theirs and I expect us to show some bite straight away. Today was shocking, full throttle is the least I expect next game. Tbf bou fans probably are thinking the same

One of them nights where our lack of Plan B is glaringly obvious.
Someone really does need to tell Ndiaye and Grealish that they can drop a shoulder and sprint to the bye-line and put a cross in?

Yes, Moyes has limited options across the squad but persistence with payers and the formation is maddening.

The Messiah after a result, and devil after a shocker is tedious.

That's why I said after the United match :

2025/26 Post in thread 'David Moyes'

November 25, 2025

One sending off doesn't make a summer. Let's see how the season pans out before handing out the laurels. Saying that, it was a fantastic effort last night.

The weirdest thing is that after tete rejected us we just seemed to give up on that position.

 

[davek]

The concerning thing is that we're conceding from set pieces...which is supposedly this manager's strength in defending against.

Get Tarkowski out of that defence. He's finished this season. His head's gone.

 

[BlueStevie35]

I dont see him lasting that long...he is in big trouble with coming fixtures, no ndiaye or gueye for the best part of a month, injuries to key players (Branthwaite). The question is if we were to drop in the relegation places, would TFG need to act? Is he the long term answer, I dont think so.

It would take a huge reversal of form for that to happen, Leeds have got 4 difficult fixtures before Christmas, Burnley have got Palace and Newcastle up next, West Ham will play the RS back in form then have United, Brighton and Villa. We’ll go into the festive period somewhere between 11th and 14th but with a bit of daylight

 

[Rita_Poon]

For me, if we were in a situation where I could see a clear plan and clear improvements I wouldn’t mind.

Problem is everything feels so stopgap and inconsistent with little clear plan or playstyle other than hoping N’Diaye or Grealish do something and relying on a core group of players who have proven to be unreliable and capable of a stinker.

Tried for Tete, tried a RB swap for Patterson. Neither came off. He knows where the issue is. Muddled through last season and got lucky with J O'B being a big different shape in the problem RB spot. Other sides have wised up. Make it a foot race, Elanga pinned him in.

Yes, it's not one I'd surrender.

 

[MikeH72]

I think everyone had felt he’d done enough to get a start tbh, but he massively let us down today.

I hadn’t.

 

[Rita_Poon]

Whilst I agree, KDH needs to be deeper. But he has scored 2 in 2, and both excellent goals.

He can score ten a game, that's great, but if we're shipping 40 a game, we're in big trouble. Moyes has proved pragmatic before, he has to come through again now. Learn or it's the guillotine.
