Smash and grab but that 2nd half was slowly being dominated by us and we deserved the win. Not going to grill Harrison who yet again was defensively sound but infuriating in final 3rd. Good to see Broja start who is clearly 10 games from match sharp but I liked the look of some of his game, comes a bit too deep for our style and got in the way of Doucoure unnecessarily a few times early in 1st half. Good to see McNeil easing back and that pass though a little lucky, will do his confidence no harm. Ndiaye is going to be back at it then next game or 2 after a busy 65mins. Felt the backline had it easy today. Feel DM is getting some back handed pelters the last 2 weeks but he's clearly managing some injury returns carefully. Good and unexpected 3 points so I'll take it and not go down Bitter Avenue tonight and I'll just enjoy it.

I thought we were the better team today and deserved that win, my super 6 certainly liked it.
2.) 12 Apr 2025 20:26:00
Second half we looked very good. Just needed a striker to finish things off.
{Ed025's Note - yep..
11 Apr 2025 16:10:51
A forgotten man due to his injury and all dependent upon the recovery, who'd have Mangala back next season? I thought he was a decent enforcer who seemed to get the ball back and wasn't a bad passer but maybe seemed to have a touch of the Gueyes striking ability.
1.) 11 Apr 2025 17:39:01
I’d have him back no problem. I was gutted when he got injured. He’s suited to the premier league and not shy in shooting, which is what I like the most. Someone who shoots!
2.) 11 Apr 2025 17:59:09
Excellent player for us hope he makes a quick recovery we have missed him.
3.) 11 Apr 2025 18:10:54
It was quite a bad injury wasn't it? As decent as he was for us before he got injured, I think we should look at other options going forward. Maybe revisit it come January to see how the injury has affected him. We've got to get the recruitment spot on for next season, we can't afford to carry players, especially loan players.
4.) 11 Apr 2025 20:19:13
Can't remember but something like the dreaded ACL? And yes an injury that used to change players for the worse but recently the medics have been pretty good at getting players back from such horrors. Regardless of him wearing the shirt again, he definitely has my good best luck wishes with getting back to the top. And with a few more quality players Infront, he'd be awesome. He'll be cheaper too. A natural replacement for Gana G. Who by the way is one of the many 15 out of contract I'd have no issues with another year.
5.) 11 Apr 2025 22:49:06
One of our better players this season, without injury I’d have taken him on in a heartbeat, guess it depends on how he recovers.
6.) 12 Apr 2025 08:31:51
Agree, FBS, players can come back as good as new these days from that type of injury, but I suppose there is that one case that goes against the grain. If he recovers well then I'd still take him, we just don't want to be spending good cash only to have the lad breaking down again. We've had too much of that over the last 10 years. The lad we got from Germany springs to mind, although there are a few others we could add to the mix. Wish him well in his recovery.
26 Feb 2025 21:35:57
On the whole it's 15 PTS clear of the drop zone, nobody expected that kind of gulf. But as expectations rise it's been a frustrating 2 games and maybe the looking to the top 12 is a bridge too far. Decimated squad is getting the results and hopefully with a weekend off Moyes can get some more coaching done and a player or 2 back. Missed Doucoure tonight and again nobody thought they'd ever feel that way.
{Ed025's Note - i tell you what we missed FBS...loads of bleedin chances mate, you cant miss 3 one v ones like Beto did if that had of been DCL the air would be blue on here, plus we played with 8 men, Harrison, Lindstrom and Beto were passengers..
1.) 26 Feb 2025 21:49:46
Alcaraz was the worst suspect, missed countless passes and shots. Beto ran them ragged again yet Billy’s jumping on the beto bandwagon, agree with you on Harrison and lindstrom tho 40 odd games between them and 0 goals 0 assists, we don’t want to be signing either of them.
{Ed025's Note - but you cant miss chances like that Tranmere, one maybe....but 3 one on ones?, actually i thought Charly was good mate..
2.) 26 Feb 2025 21:57:01
I am with you Ed, Beto tonight reminds me of kids I knew in the school footy teams, they got a bit too heady with their current form and praise from all and sundry only to be brought back down to earth with a mighty crash mate. . .
Hopefully he will get over himself and get a grip.
{Ed025's Note - worked hard GD i will give him that, but he has to do better in them circumstances mate..
3.) 26 Feb 2025 22:13:01
He was good but wasteful and everyone’s allowed a stinker? Dcl has a stinker every game so deserves the stick.
4.) 26 Feb 2025 22:22:50
Betos creating them chances himself his pace is lightning fast defenders can't handle him.
{Ed025's Note - and thats great TL, but if he doesn,t put the ball in the net mate all them great runs have been for sod all..
5.) 26 Feb 2025 22:54:50
No ones questioning his work ethic. If you can’t can’t question his ability on that showing, you’re not looking closely enough. A top striker scores 2 of those 3 chances most days.
6.) 27 Feb 2025 06:49:10
I can see the point people are making but two of the chance were actually very good saves from the keeper. What I like about the team now is that we can get back in to games when going behind. If Dyche was still in charge, although I believe we still would have survived, I think we’d have at least 7 points less and still be looking over our shoulder.
I actually look forward to watching our games now rather than dreading them and you have to give credit to Moyes and all the players for stepping up during this run.
16 Feb 2025 21:12:47
Just wondering how many Euro spots are up for grabs ?.
1.) 17 Feb 2025 02:10:41
Two thirds of the season over and we're as many points off Europe as we are from the bottom three.
I don't care if the other lot win the league ad long as we finish in a boring mid table position this season.
Kick on next season and hopefully challenge for European places the season after.
UTFT NSNO IMWT.

We all saw it, it's disappointing sure but after a pretty poor 1st half with lots of errors, it was good to see the subs change the game. Hit the woodwork 3xs and a bright debut from new lad. Great to see Tim continue to get minutes and perform well, even Harrison looked like the player he was under Belsa. Can't really complain, it would have been nice to claw it back but we were clearly (as all the commentators implied from the team sheet) that we were setting up for the derby. Tarkowski had a terrible day but most of the poor first half performances improved individually, yes I specifically mean you O'Brien.
1.) 08 Feb 2025 17:26:52
Simple we took a donkey in Dacoure off and brought a footballer on. Beto back to being useless, would rather play Keane up front.
{Ed025's Note - absolutely BMD, i hope them 2 never play for EFC again mate, im actually not sorry to be out of the cup because we have bigger fish to fry but lets hope that Moyes can now see how piss poor some of our squad really are..
2.) 08 Feb 2025 17:45:08
It’s just a hiccup watch us bounce back on Wednesday.
{Ed025's Note - lets hope so Penysarn, lets hope Moyes can see what we all see that some players we have are just not good enough mate and puts in players that at least offer something..
3.) 08 Feb 2025 17:57:08
Second half was far better when the subs came on, Davey will have seen that as well.
{Ed025's Note - lets hope so mate..
4.) 08 Feb 2025 18:16:38
We must have a youngster to put up front I know it a massive step up and a gamble but they would be fearless and could actually put it in the net. Beto will probably score a hatrick on Wednesday now i have said this.
5.) 08 Feb 2025 18:18:39
Sorry but can’t see us getting anything against them. If Young is full back Salah will destroy him or Young will get sent off. Just want to get that game gone, and focus on the rest of the season.
6.) 08 Feb 2025 18:23:25
Got to take positives Ed25. Didn’t give up and had a real go 2nd half. Hit post 3 times and if one had sneaked in might’ve been different. Alcaraz looked exciting except for one slip. Never seen Tarks have such a poor game. Subs were made and made a difference. Totally different to clown SD in charge. All guns blazing now for Derby!
COYB!
{Ed025's Note - the 2nd half was better PHH...it could in fact not get any worse, the only positives for me was Tim back, and that surely DM has seen with his own eyes that Doucoure and Beto are absolutely crap and should only be used in an emergency mate..
7.) 08 Feb 2025 19:38:26
Agree PHH, not worried we are out of that cup far more important we concentrate on the Premiership get the necessary points then change half the Team this summer, good times to come.
8.) 08 Feb 2025 20:08:34
I implied it and say it again we have played one excellent team that are at this moment a level above us but Moyes (2nd half) is getting us a leg up. We now play a Team levels above us and the majority. Hopefully Moyes supplies us with machine guns and viagra.
9.) 08 Feb 2025 20:16:51
Tarky can't start v liv. obrien in the middle with Jared put patto right back can't start with beto play either alcaraz or ndieye as a false 9 Tim and garner both have to start Harrison on the left linstrom on right.
10.) 09 Feb 2025 11:34:11
Well I don’t rate Harrison but have to be honest TL I would rather see your line up than have to watch Dacoure and the headless chicken again.
11.) 09 Feb 2025 12:04:11
Wake up, we will get nothing against them, they are a far superior team to us and it will be a miracle if we get a draw.
People on here saying we were going to beat Bournemouth 3-0 really.
We have zero attacking threat, so get ready for 90mins of defending.
{Ed025's Note - unfortunately I agree Brass..
12.) 09 Feb 2025 19:26:10
What’s the solution up front in the meantime? Keane? Ndiaye? Alcaraz?
Think we might be stuck with Beto for the short term.
Didn’t see the game but pleased we picked up second half with subs. Was it a better than last time we played them? Sounds like Tarks had a bad day at the office.

Respected by footballers and. derided by fans. A few years back Rafa was reported to be interested and most didn't like the rumour then. I see a player who does the uglies really well but he's another 3 or 4 years older and I'm just not sure if he is the same player. Every manager seems to try to over look him at the earliest opportunity but like a cockroach, he always comes back and survives and even gets another contract. Different to what we have so hard to compare to either Doucoure or Gaye. Is he out of contract and available on a free? If so then probably a good signing.
16 May 2025 09:03:52
I'd welcome his experience around the coaching staff for sure and I'm sure he's done his badges. Him and Bainse are exactly the sorts we want around the place, wearing tracksuits and body warmers.
09 May 2025 00:03:15
If true we should snap their arm off.
05 May 2025 11:38:54
Brazil play him as a 9 too but I agree he's best on the left. Arrrgggghhhh I've bitten on another Rikky post. See you in 3 days when this repeats over and over and over.
26 Apr 2025 18:03:08
Yes SD would have kept us up but we wouldn't be safe yet and if you think that being safe on last day is acceptable then you're mad. Moyes clearly has saved us and saved the fans from the doom. And for the 3rd time in 4 weeks I'll end with "raised form breeds raised expectations" DMs going to get a predictable backlash now but until we sign some new players, we have what we have. I agree Alcarez should play more but clearly something with his deal and the financials is being played out and why not as we are safe. Barely any of us can name a youth player let alone a few to step up as we don't have any close enough. Also we have had 5 seriously tough opponents. I'm chuffed generally but now it's all about next season. This ones done. Still think we get a few more wins and will be in mid 40s and SD would be nowhere near that haul. Get real.

I think that's an unfair expectation and not helpful to the clubs recovery. We all hope for a top 4 challenge obviously but to casually expect it is unfair on the clubs path and means an element of unrealistic fandom is another problem when it should be a united journey. Also DM is judged on results and points and if his players don't perform then he's toasty but if his players do perform and some of those players are ones we don't like, well that sounds like our problems not his. Looks like the problem here is the same as when FM came, people want a total flip in 1 window. It will not happen and we need to lay off for 4 windows before we can start making noises of discontent. Deja vu already right?
16 May 2025 19:39:38
Not interested.
16 May 2025 18:17:16
Better advice would be don't read trash opinion pieces and click bait sites for plebs.
14 May 2025 21:35:41
Exactly! We were safe way before most thought, so why play a player who had a penalty clause that'd only cost us millions. Another sign we are being ran in a more professional and smarter way. He fell out of favour with his home club and the less he plays the less time in the shop window basically closing him down to a cheaper deal here without much other interest. Pretty cute move.
