[Neiler]

Well in young man.

Exactly, it's not if clubs with a weakened team never ever win a match. We can only hope Moyes doesn't send them out with a negative attitude. Be on the front foot and get them rattled, they're hardly in a rich vein of form, and the pressure will all be on them.

Oh the Irony.

Luckily Moyes isn’t like you and most of our fans so will have tried to be positive.

 

[Drico]

He will stumble on to something (like Graham getting on & having a blinder when Rohl breaks down) and be lauded for it, when the reality is his hand is simply being forced.

Well, that's best-case-scenario Moyes: doing better with limited options. It's a good attribute in tough times. It's also an argument to tighten the purse strings...

 

[Evertonthat]

I didn't think it was possible to see a weaker bench then the Burnley game... I was wrong!

 

[Clarky cat]

Reckon we might see Graham tonight you know.
I’m not sure Merlin’s magic is enough to counter 90mins of dark arts from their defence.

Moyes will chuck Beto on with Barry. It will be at least 25 minutes for the purists.

 

[Daytripper]

Well in young man.

Good luck to the lad , hope he gets to make his debut

 

[GrandOldTeam]

Decent balance to the team.

McNeil will hopefully want to prove a point here and has done well vs Forest in the past.

Rohl debut in what I assume number 10 role. Looking forward to seeing that.

A consecutive start for Dibling to find some momentum.

Beto and Grealish as options of the bench.

Cmon Everton.

 

[Bebeto]

Missing...

Seamus Coleman
Jarrad Branthwaite
Idrissa Gana Gueye
Iliman Ndiaye
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall
Michael Keane
Carlos Alcaraz

Is that everyone?

Problem is seamus doesn't really count...so 6 missing...still we should be able to put a decent first 11 with at least 3 meaningful substitution from the bench...and we can't. We need players urgently.

 

[chippy1722]

Well in young man.

A homegrown youngster, poor lad, at some point the hate will come. If only he was a foreign player here, he would be backed.

[Neiler]

If there was ever a match Nathan Patterson should be motivated to star in, it should be this one.

 

[TheNinja]

Moyes gets judged on tonight.

No hiding place if we lose.

Moyes gets judged on tonight with no Branthwaite, Keane, Grealo J, Dewsbury H, Ndiaye, Gana, Alcaraz. Good, just checking...

As if Moyes plays a youngster like that hahah

It'll be Grealish on one foot then out injured again for another few weeks.

Indeed. There's only 3 missing who I'd want starting for us next season.

Kin hell, Dyche carries a chip on the shoulder for us like the Grand Canyon...
