David Moyes
Re: David Moyes
Are we already flapping 10 games in? Any reason to flap it seems is one that is duly taken.
- Rohl has been injured. Give him a chance at least.
- Aznou has also been injured at the start of the season and is an understudy for Myko - No one cares.
- Dibling is a young lad and clearly isn't ready. But yeah, let's already write him off!?
- Barry has not started well and doesn't look great - you can flap about him.
- Alcaraz does a job. For £13m, adds decent quality to the squad at our current level. He's not ideal, but what do we expect after the last few seasons?
If anything, flap more about KDH than most of the above. He is a serious concern given that he has no final pass and seems to be Moyes favourite.

Re: David Moyes
To be fair to him given his attitude since you'd have to assume he was very vocal about not wanting the players we got. If that's the case we either shouldn't have signed them or got a new manager in the summer.
Not sure what moyes is meant to do with a dibbling if he doesn't think he's good enough. Its more a disconnect between manager and recruitment and it shouldn't have been allowed to happen
Re: David Moyes
For those saying the squad is a shambles.
Yes, it still has glaring holes and gaps that was never gonna be fixed in one window, but I still feel Moyes could be doing better with it.
Garner at RB (for now) is the obvious choice allowing Rohl or Alcaraz in the middle (preferably both)
Stop playing a big massive grok as your RB.
Mix it up a bit with Grealish, stick him in the center a bit, give ops something different to think about.

Re: David Moyes
If Moyes thinks McNeil is good enough and a better bet then Dibling then we've got bigger problems. The lad, who has had decent spells here, has been absolutely shocking every single time he's been on the pitch this season.
			
			
									
						Re: David Moyes
He’s acting like a spoilt brat. He probably remembers his old time here where Bill let him do whatever he wanted and this time around he has to take a few orders and doesn’t get his own way. Probably still smarting at not being allowed to buy Soucek.

Thanks, I'll think?

Re: David Moyes
I don't think sacking him is a good idea at the moment.
He's making some ridiculous decisions but I'm scared about who we'd get in. The squad is crap, totally unbalanced with no proper full backs or strikers.
I don't know where we go from here but I'd give him some time to try and sort it.
I'm shitting myself about relegation though.

Re: David Moyes
It's not so much about Dibling as it is about why the fuck you put Dwight fucking McNeil on at that point, with Alcaraz also an option. McNeil who has for whatever reason looked like he's forgotten to play football in the last 6 months or so and who's been nowhere near the team in that time, and who has proved even more useless on the right, and who as was blindingly obvious he would be was fucking terrible when he came on.777Kidnappings wrote: ↑Mon Nov 03, 2025 10:17 pm To be fair to him given his attitude since you'd have to assume he was very vocal about not wanting the players we got.

McNeil was a bizarre choice in the circumstances

I don't think other teams have the same holes. I don't watch loads of football but I cant imagine there's another side who decided they just won't bother with a right back this season. Our fullbacks and strikers are the worst in the league. Our wingers (our best players) are paceless. Our strikers are the worst in the league. We have no creativity or ability to win 2nd balls in midfield
We have some good players we don't have a functioning team though. We just randomly bought players again. Nothing in terms of actual team building and fixing our problems
Whats the point of grealish. We've flung expensive glitter at a turd. Again much better than what we had but not the profile of what we needed. The whole window was utterly inept. Already no more faith in this lot than I had in the 1s doing the buying under moshiri. They've fallen into the same trap of making statements over being competent

Re: David Moyes
Kind of reminds me when Moyes replaced Manuel Fernandes with Tony Hibbert back in the day.
Almost as if to say, we can’t win the game anyway.

Re: David Moyes
Garner is also absolutely shite btw, putting him at RB will likely just make us worse defending set pieces and worse defending dribblers out wide. He's crap and he'll be crap at RB too.
			
			
									
						Re: David Moyes
We can’t have another transfer window under this setup with this manager. It clearly doesn’t work.

Don't disagree. Think like under the moshiri era there's lots of blame to go round and probably everyone gets some. Sulky manager and shit signings
