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..

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..

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..

He was good but wasteful and everyone’s allowed a stinker? Dcl has a stinker every game so deserves the stick.

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..

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.

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.
