If you're Malick Fofana, for example, you'd say f%^& that.

....by the previous manager, and when he got a chance under Moyes it was instantly baffling as to why he'd been frozen out.
I cannot fathom Moyes' reluctance to use certain players, from bench or start. Previous Message
....Dibling seems to be in the doghouse. The last time I recall him starting ( Forest away ) he was absolutely fine.
Alcaraz gets 2 minutes here and there, despite being a player with significant goal involvements since arriving. Baffling.
Patterson might be limited, but when we are chasing a game we'd be better off with him wide and Jake in the centre with the pace JT and MK lack.
Armstrong was recalled from an excellent loan to sit on his arse.
Rohl had to wait weeks to even get on as a sub.
Christ only knows what Aznou has done to upset Moyes.
All the while players like Ili, Tarks, KDH have been looking wearier by the week.
At this level subs change games and games are decided late. Its no coincidence we are getting the thick end of the wedge on that front. Previous Message
Ultimately we will finish where we deserve to and we have, in some respects, blown the opportunity for a top 8 finish despite the lack of squad depth and quality due to us not being able to see out recent games (City and Palace and to a lesser extent yesterday) and conceding late goals in the Derby and away at West Ham. Yesterdays pathetic show confirms what we all probably knew, we have made progress but we are not equipped for European football again yet.
It’s been great to see Rohl get a chance but he has been shoehorned in on the right hand side and although he’s showcased what he can do, having him in front of O’Brien lacks of any balance down that right hand side. Factor in Ndiaye’s loss of form and we have struggled to be effective from wide areas.
I don’t envisage a change of manager just yet but quite clearly some major recruitment is needed in the summer to see us progress. Along with the hope that some of the younger players like Dibling and Aznou can step up and push for a place in the side.
The team has almost picked itself for large parts of the season and that is never a good position to be in.
