No Europe to worry about now, how about we play some players in the correct positions, play the team we want to be next year, Garner in the middle, Dibling on the wing, what’s the worst thing that could possibly happen?

Never gonna happen with Moyes. Moyes idea of taking a risk is stirring his tea three times instead of two...

I disagree whoever said Barry had a good game. Not 1 sniff of a chance. I get no service but still he don’t look like he is in the right areas

There was a ball in to the near post. Neither Barry nor Beto were trying to get in that area.

Daft team selection from Moyes. Branthwaite and Garner at full backs is just sabotage. They’re clearly uncomfortable there and immediately give the upper hand to the opposition

I think Garner is absolutely fine at RB and was probably the best player.

The problem is we need him in midfield.

Only bit of quality in the whole match won it,Good goal,surprised some folks were laying blame at players, it was a beautiful bit of football.
We will have to wait for the summer, invest in a striker because we could have been there all night and not scored.

Strikers need someone to create chances..

The 0-1 Moyes defeat special

Just enough to let you tell the hard luck story in the presser

Not going anywhere under this manager.

That’s total rubbish where were we last 3 seasons

 

[Vedder]

Is Gana not allowed to be subbed off?

Nope..not young enough

His movement is not good enough, his control is lacking and he's slow to read the game. But, I half wonder if it's down to our style. Nothing is direct, nothing is urgent and nobody is near him to support.

Starting with just 3 attacking players isn’t good enough. Especially when one of them is pretty rubbish.

NDyaye has done nothing for 3 month and KDL is out of form. Barry LOL

 

[blueblood]

All on Moyes again. Our best centre back playing at left back, our best central midfielder playing at right back. A promising central midfielder playing on the left wing.
Their goal then comes from our slow centre back pairing not being able to deal with a quick counter attack, with our quickest centre back playing out of position.
I’m done with him, he’ll blame the referee, or blame bad luck, or misfortune- but will take no responsibility for his dour tactics and selections.

 

[Naylor56]

At home we have been opened up because of our slow cb’s numerous times. now you have branthwaite back surely he goes straight back in not fudging LB

 

[Bedfordblue]

Good handling by their keeper today.

Actually catching the ball and commanding his 6 years box on corners etc.

MotM - referee.

By miles!

Just enough to let you tell the hard luck story in the presser

"I thought we deserved something from the 2nd half. We were on top but just couldn't get the goal and we got caught on the counter."

The season it's over. Take this time to analyze the next steps with brained moves for the future.
