This point last season

[The Mighty Mackem]

That was the most comfortable win I'd seen from us in a long time and at that point I was convinced we'd cracked it. Then yes, we went on that run and looked hopeless.

some hard games amongst that december run iirc? we suspected we would be poor until Jan

What unadulterated bollox.
Moyes inherited a very very good squad that was playing top 8 football over the last dozen games.
He was gappy to let kaboul, mvila and yedlin go.
He was given 30 m to spend to replace them and bought shite mostly

What a load of shite. When was the last time we had a very good squad? Must have been under Bruce. All he inherited was a poor to average squad which had played above itself for the past couple of months - and he wasn't the first.

 

[TopCat]

Both available to buy though

Why the fuck we we buy Yedlin? He was ok going forward, but very poor defensively.

 

[Howard the Duck]

Posts the same shite time and time again he must've been gutted Pickford made that save late on yesterday

And refuses to engage when people correct him so he can go on posting the same unadulterated bollocks.

Moyes wanted M'Vila and Kaboul was going to leave even if Allardyce was still here. Quite frankly, who gives a fuck about Yedlin.

Yep, short sighted being the operative word, as it was the owners call, particularly the latter (hence Sam didn't get him either, despite having more time than Moyes to get it done).

The former was the player's call. That's been lost in the all the revisionism done in the Moyes witch hunt.

Is this kid for real? kaboul wanted to leave nowt you can do, a lot of politics out of his control in the case of mvilla and yedlin is shite.......also you wrote gappy instead of happy

 

[pwsafc]

He didn't take it late in the window at all like why do people keep saying it?

He got the job after 1 pre-season game didn't he?

Considering most managers have from before the previous season finishes plus all of may June July to plan the nxt season then yeah it was very late into the window

The "kid" is a middle aged bloke. He's been around since the board started but he's had more identities than you can shake a stick at.

Couldn't agree more. We needed to keep same squad and add two or three to it.

He only sold one player you daft knacker (and he demanded a move).

You're probably too simple to realise that the "very good squad" that finished a whopping 17th wasn't the squad Moyes inherited (it had be stripped to the bones once the season ended).

 

[raven_5]

And Moyes has had a much weaker squad to work with

Not true, it was the same or even worse.

 

[dangermows]

I said it was weaker and you said it was the same or worse

Sam's squad was weaker. DM's squad IS stronger.

sixteen players for Moyes, the lucky bastard.

Stop being an arsehole when hiding behind a key board. Mvilla wanted to sign Kaboul was on a contract and we still need a right back. The three players he brought in in January helped transformed the team and most posters on here agree the team that finished the season was decent.

 

[Laidback Jack]

I wouldn't say our squad is weaker this season than last, I would say they're pretty similar.

Moyes has had worse injuries though compared to BSA.

 

[fergus]

Poor Moyes, on the one hand he's being blamed for failing with a better squad than last year and on the other hand being blamed for signing shite, I'm confused

Now? What are you talking about? He had a transfer window and 30m to spend.

Short wouldn't cough up, that's why Allardyce didn't sign him, despite having longer to do so than Moyes.

The team that finished last season was descent. The squad given to Moyes was threadbare. You have to remember injury prone players like Cattermole and Kirchoff played loads of consecutive games under Allardyce. If they'd been injured, like Thry often are, we would have been in the shit.

The squad Moyes inherited had been stripped down to sixteen in the Summer. Thirty million is nothing when you've got such a small squad and only six weeks to assess and address. He went for young uns to blood in (sadly one of the worst injury lists ever meant they had to be thrown in) and players he knew and could get in quickly.

Pretty obvious stuff tbh.

So nothing to spend and more useless players is better?

That's the Moyes haters for you. No logic to their bollocks
