I'd have thought it almost impossible that the high hopes and buzz from the beginning of this season when we opened the new stadium and had the purse strings finally prised open again could turn into ashes less than 6 months later. That's happened though. It's a reality.
We're absolutely floored now. That defeat was more than a cup loss it was a symbolic loss of hope that we can quickly break free of underachievement.
We'll only have a chance of moving forward without the dead hand
Moyes places on us. His negativity vaporises hope.
We'll win some games in the next few weeks and some will say we're back on track, but we wont be. We'll just be waiting for the next calamitous loss of focus, nerve and form.
I accept if we get top 10 he's safe, but the owners really should be reading the room now and preparing to change manager.
Moyes cant take us where we need to go. He just cant.
