Reply | Buried in an article about Moyes’ contract running out at West Ham…

Would be a terrible move for him. Having the misfortune to live bang in the middle of WHU territory, their fanbase lack the patience and football awareness to give him the time he would need to implement his ideas on a new squad (as was the case with us).
He will obviously leave at some point but he deserves a better platform and better club than West Ham |

Fair play to McKenna, I get it. Two away games coming up and we have looked leggy the last two games
BUT
Winnable game to get into the qtrs of a domestic cup. Feels like a big missed opportunity
😩

Thread | Hirst has massively earnt a few beers tonight
at 18:32 11 Mar 2023
Worked his arse off, constantly fought off two absolute units at the back with zero protection from another dreadful ref and scored a great goal.
Fell to the ground absolutely spent on 70 odd minutes.
Hats off George! |

.....who wore a pre-match shot from Hirst right in the face is ok. It looked very nasty and she looked pretty shaken
Hirst & the other club reps on the pitch were great in the aftermath, so credit to them
I hope she's ok  |

He goes back to Plymouth doesn't he? Swansea owners recalled him just to see what might happen - no-one paid the fee they wanted so he goes straight back. Sadly for us. |

I was....and not just judging on this game but for me he's sloppy in possession and is absolutely no better than what we already have
Having said that, the way people are jumping all over me suggests I'm seeing something others aren't. He could've cost us 2 goals today giving easy possessio away
Anyway, I'll belt up and keep my opinions to myself in future |

....with the benefit of a few games to judge, Bakinson is dreadful. I'm so sorry, but he is. Its really tough to disappear in a game playing centre midfield but he gives it a bloody good go! So lucky that Morsy compensated for him otherwise we would've been in trouble
Played so well today, just lacked a little bit of quality with the final ball. We all deserved a win, fans & players |

Sacking Cook will be pointless if we end up with one of the dross that seem to be dominating the current rumour mill
Has to be an ambitious, eye-catching, well-researched appointment.
If its just the next uninspiring bloke off the managerial merry-go-round, I can't see Ashton making many self-congratulatory walks in front of the away end anymore |

Reply | 4 games to turn it around
at 10:34 18 Aug 2021
What do you consider "turning it around" in 4 games equates to? No. of points? Wins?
We've had 3 league games , disappointing ones for sure, with an entirely new group of players. We will definitely have runs of 3 games with disappointing results during the rest of the season wherever we are in the league.
Forget last season, its irrelevant. Surely 15-20 games is a better guide to his effectiveness one way or the other? |

Completely agree. Too easy to defend against when our possession is so unadventurous. No-one beyond Edwards was willing to run at/commit defenders. |

Thoroughly depressing last 30 mins where we were totally bullied by a team who'd offered nothing at all to worry us beforehand.
Lack of cutting edge has been stark in every game so far. Edwards apart, no-one seemed to want to run at defenders, happy to recycle possession and play the "safe" pass....which all too often was sideways or backwards when in advanced positions.
Edwards looks awesome; Piggott's touch and hold up play was excellent; Burgess was very good, as was Harper until he ran out of gas; Bonne ran himself into the ground but his miss probably cost us the game sadly
Assume Donacien played to give us extra aerial protection from their set pieces....in which case, why didn't Holy play? Hladky looked swamped from those long throws
Huge irritations: they guy took about a minute over every long throw (and there were plenty of them in the second half) but just 5 mins injury time?! Ref and lino at our end were appalling 2nd half; why leave it until 75 mins to make a sub when a few of our lads were out on their feet 10 mins beforehand? And then bring Jackson on?!
Still think we will be fine but we do look a bit of a soft touch and quite easy to defend against. A bit more tempo would be very welcome |
