The rest of the season

[smileychap]

op had no garner in the side which i imagine was a mistake, sowas saying id rather see garner in there

would love to see us be the team now that plays for the future with europe and relegation both unlikely, i just don’t see it under moyes though

also if we beat newcastle and burnley we’re right back in it again

i can’t see aznou getting any time under moyes which is a real shame, what i would like to see on a realistic level is:

branthwaite and obrien starting every game together now at cb till end of season

idrissa only used off the bench

george or dibling starting on one wing and ndiaye on the other

dewsbury call deeper in central midfield, whether thats in a two with someone like alcaraz or armstrong at 10, or as part of a midfield 3

armstrong given more time in the centre

patterson or garner at rb. in an ideal world garner would be playing cm but we neglected to sign a rb. patterson clearly isnt rated and doesnt have a future here (makes it all the more baffling we didnt shift him and sign a replacement)

we have good cm options so id see it as getting the best out of what we have and then making a gamechanger at rb the absolute priority in the summer

theres a really exciting young squad here once you scrape keane tarkowski and gana out of the side, lets see it please moyes

Potentially thorny subject given his former contribution, but does Seamus take a bow this season?

Will always respect his work and return to 1st team after that leg break, but surely it's not helping having a main man sidelined.

Coleman should have retired in 2022 let alone this year

2022 is extremely generous. Certainly shouldnt have been regularly starting plenty earlier than that, indicative of the almighty mess we've made of that position.

Last night felt like a bit of a watermark in terms of fan frustration with Moyes. More moderate voices were openly expressing exasperation with the team selection and approach.

We're basically safe and Europe is probably a stretch. What were really playing for is as high a finish as possible and the extra cash it brings.

So, is it worth the gamble to give game time to those seemingly relegated to the fringes and play others in their best positions? What harm could it do. For example:

Pickford

Patterson O'Brien Branthwaite Aznou

Dibling Rohl Dewsbury-Hall George

Ndiaye

Barry​

I'd suggest another formation, but it's Moyes, so let's not ask too much. I guess with a run of games we'd soon see if Moyes has been right all along on certain players.

Thoughts?

A manager already getting abuse for losing two games in a row choosing to drop his trusted players in favour of the fringe members of the squad?

Can't see it happening.

 

[Daveysgingerlovechild]

So you don't think fan frustration can get any higher?

No idea. Didn't say a high watermark, just a noticeable rise.

Shouldn`t it be watershed ?

Belgium team?

I used to make watermarked paper, it wasn't as frustrating as watching this lot...in fact i got a little satisfaction ...

A watermark doesn’t really mean anything in isolation. It either needs to be high or low. Any other watermark is just a meaningless stain between two extremes.

Better get back to Joey's dictionary mate, you're getting called out over Watermarks again..

 

[chrismpw]

Absolutely .... let's have a look at what we have- especially at home where what we're doing isn't working anyway.

Very good. You are a meaningless stain on this forum, so you know the terrain well good sir.

I dunno, it takes a meaningless stain to know one.

Sadly, because his trusted players and tactics are the reason we ship so many points at home.

I'd like to see the remainder of the season , or the Davy Moyes Farewell Tour as it's better known, given due respect by the fans . They should come out in numbers to thank the Moyesiah for his resurrection of the club

I believe he will be playing his greatest hits with absolutely no new original material.

Highlights you can look forward to include losing 6-0 at Arsenal, the great 4 centre halves against Burnley , no subs until the 80th minute and the classic McNeil instead of Dibling.

For those unlucky enough to go all I can say is a few drinks might help.

By the way I'm not getting involved in the "Watermark Scandal" . It's brought a president down so @Daveysgingerlovechild has got no chance !
