Travers…looking like we got it wrong but we were sufficiently impressed to hand over £4m from a somewhat limited budget for a position we could probably have picked up on a free / loan. So, you have to at least give him the League Cup games.
The bigger problem, for me, is that a ~£100m front four looked so utterly toothless against Wolves Reserves.

...but it does really rankle - just the round before we had 50k+ vs Mansfield, now compare that with the half-full Molineux from the other night, they clearly couldn't give much of a fuck, but for us it was a huge misreading of fan sentiment to pick some of the players/positions he did the other night, we've a new stadium, we're desperate to see our team play there as much as possible in future rounds, the more games the better to really cement it as our new home, and he goes and practically throws the game for a mixture of giving minutes/chances to fringe players (fair enough, to an extent) and misguided loyalty (Travers, Coleman) Previous Message
It doesn’t matter that he’s gained the 5th most points in the league since taking over a squad that was heading down the shitter, there’s too much baggage for some people from what went before that the second we have one or two bad results they’ll be on his back. He has zero leeway. Any other manager and people would say ‘That was shit but I hope he learns from it’; with Moyes, people instantly jump to ‘This is why we need to go for Glasner / insert current flavour of the month.’
I’m not sure there’s many, if any, other managers around who could’ve done the job he’s done in such a short space of time. Let alone managers with any interest in coming to us when he did.

squad and the fan base going into the next game/round. Now, all I want is that this does not put fear into our performance on Monday night against a team that need a win.
Moyes dicking around has killed the hope early and caused unnecessary stress.
No doubt he has his reasons, but I suspect they were personal rather than in the interests of the club and fans. I my view, he has always put himself first and never misses an opportunity to mention himself in a positive light no matter what shit show he has overseen. Its almost like the 'you had some good times you know' scenario
