2025/26 David Moyes

Good read this, will keep you entertained for half an hour.
28% thought we should have went for Potter, but 28% also went for cheese on scotch egg.
Well done the cheese on scotch egg voters

 

Did I hear that correctly on the BBC, only Arsenal have picked up more away points since Moyes has been here?

I reckon we should sack him and go for some great choices on here, Vitor Pereira or Graham Potter.

But we did, in the first minute. The way the whole game panned out was massively influenced by that first goal, we have no idea what would have happened if we didn’t concede it so we can only judge it on the way it actually went, which wasn’t very well (unless you class being out of a game before half time as a success, which I don’t personally).
Of course I don't and I am aware of the score thanks. But the result was just one of those games were nothing goes right. It wasn't an indication of us being terrible. As shown by the fact we played well at Utd and well Bournemouth days before and after.
 
And if me auntie had bollox…
That's obviously true but misses the point. There's a different between a rank bad performance were we can't pass the ball or get out of half and the other team just dominate us and a game were we play well for large parts of it and individual event means the other team get on top. One display indicates a team that will really struggle and one that may well finish top half. Individual results are not a guide to points accumulation. We played pretty much the same way against Villa and Spurs. One game we win a point and come away thinking we had the better of a good team, the other everyone here is despondent. The actual performances were pretty similar

Some of the names in here are rank!

Potter being a lot of peoples first choice with Schumacher 🤣
 
Of course, but that's a slightly different thing. All I mean is there's no point in us getting worked up about us not randomly lashing a kid on the bench who we have no intention of using anyway, it's just not a big deal. What's potentially worthy of discussion is us not having anyone in the youth set up who is seen as a viable candidate to actually get on the pitch, but seeing as we clearly haven't, I have no issue with us not naming them in a squad.

It's the sort of thing that tends to wind me up, but normally because we lose!

The other counter though, as someone once said to me, is if you take a young player with a match day squad, with no intention of playing them, you take them out of the squad to play a reserve/under 18 game.

People will say there is value in them being around the first team, and there is but over a longer period I would say stopping them playing games is probably more damaging. It's the old cricket 12th man drinks carrier v the guy playing county cricket argument.

I'm also not entirely sure that the experience is a net positive, as it may be a net complacency.

To be fair, of the managers in that list, it’s hardly a surprise. I voted Potter in it, but only because the other options given were also terrible. I was advocating for carsley or a lower league manager as Moyes was when we first got him.

The fact we still had to stomach more than another year of dycheball after that is depressing.
