The People's Forum: There will always be the moaners, as they only remember the end of Moyes and what Bobby's.....

first season after him was like, forgetting the fact he worked on a shoe string

He needs to find that balance between solid at the back (which I dont think he's far from) and expansive on the break

Out of our current players, who can play like that, Im unsure. McNeil as much as his corners/set plays work, is just too slow on the break. Im unsure where he fits unless we majorly change formation. I'd love him to bring Kudus from West Ham, its whether he'd give up living in London, but he would be a great start

.....in the last couple weeks I have picked up the same kind of noise on X regarding Moyes that became endemic regarding Dyche.

It hasn't taken long for the most hardcore of moaners to decide he's dour, negative, unambitious etc.

And in fairness the results are now even-ing out after a great start. Many did point out at the time that Moyes probably wouldn't approach things so much differently to Dyche with this squad.

Personally I think we've improved, but then last season we also did so in autumn under Dyche after we got the points deduction. We'll likely end up with slightly less ( earned ) points this season than last and a lower XG, XGA and XPts.

Don't get me wrong, it was time for Dyche to move on and Moyes is probably what we need to stabilise.

But he is going to come under pressure quickly if we don't improve next season. And rightly or wrongly, ditching a fans favourite in Alcaraz would not help his cause one bit, should he do so.
