Re: David Moyes
When his back was to the wall last season with injuries he played guys who hadn’t played all season up to then and we beat villa and forest away with the likes of Rohl Patterson o Brien at centre half but the minute he got a few guys back it’s back to the tried and trusted back to 1 up top long balls Center half at full back and Keane in the team he has always had favourites since the first day he was here and still has

Depend where you place your assumptions, the the manager, the players, both, or our opponents etc etc over/ underperformed. And what is their base level of performance.
It is suggested that performance (results) is mostly dictated by the cattle rather than the farmer.

In this case, the farmer gets to pick what cattle he brings in and what cattle he uses.Cods wrote: ↑Tue Aug 18, 2026 2:18 pm Depend where you place your assumptions, the the manager, the players, both, or our opponents etc etc over/ underperformed. And what is their base level of performance.

He is also supposed to use his agricultural knowledge to graze them in the most productive areas of the field…

This season...well.

I guess it's preferences, and I suspect a lot of things apart from simply player skillset.Toddacelli wrote: ↑Tue Aug 18, 2026 2:32 pm He is also supposed to use his agricultural knowledge to graze them in the most productive areas of the field…

The club should count themselves lucky that 50k still want to turn up every week.
Europe is the bare minimum expectation and should always be in an era where nine teams are qualifying for Europe.
Easier than ever to qualify for Europe. Easier than ever to win European competition.
In the last 3 years 10 different PL teams have won a trophy (not including anything relating to promotion). No reason why that can’t (and should) be us.

I’m sure you would also give more time on the grass to the younger cattle who need the nutrition to grow at this vital stage of their development…

Re: David Moyes
Reading between the lines what Angus Kinnear said that TFG weren't happy with our finish last season and Moyes is in the last year of his contract he either doesn't get a new one or if we have a poot start he'll be gone
Eddie Howe anyone?
