Anyway, Tarks should give his head a wobble, on another day that might actually have happened and we would have lost the game and him for three games just because of his petulance.

It's never a red, not saying I condone it but it's almost a risk free reducer. They'll probably bring in some rule eventually if he keeps doing it as it's something he shouldn't be able to get away with, but as the rules stand it'd never be more than yellow.

Seeing our ex manager come to our gaff with a squad much better than ours, set his team up in a basic 442 with no pattern of play other than get the ball in the box and pick up the scraps.

Taking off a player like sangare for Ryan Yates at half time, play gibbs white up front taking him out the game, and having no way of changing it to get back into the game.

I saw their pass map in the second half and there was nothing in the middle. Everything going out wide for a load of aimless crosses.

That was us not too long ago.

Now we have moyes. We have patterns of play, we go direct, but we also play through the lines. He’s built the midfield around two very, very, good footballers in Grealish and dewsbury hall.

He put mykolenko back in that inverted full back role in the second half and opened the game up for both of them.

Light years of difference between the two and I’m so happy we’re one the right side of things for once and not having the deal with the absolute tripe managers like dyche serve up anymore.

Can't exactly criticise their fans for their chants when one of our biggest podcasts is doing shit like that.

Not hugely relevant to the game but think they need to be better than this. Would be a whole lot better if they got some different people on who have a bit more class about them imo.
