The two red cards that could and should have been avoided will unfortunately deflect attention from the errors made by the manager. Poor team selection again. Barry and McNeil again totally ineffective. Why can't Moyes just accept the fact that they are crap? We were playing with 9 men before the sendings off. Every time we are ahead and dominant at home in the first half we come out for the second half and allow the opposition to bully us. This can't be coincidence. The players are obviously playing to orders.
We revert back to being slow and predictable. No plan B, not even a plan A most of the along with poor and late like for like substitutions. Yes the team has shot itself in the foot on several occasions but the manager has shot them in the other foot on numerous occasions. Moyes should not be exempt from criticism. A season that has promised so much is going downhill at pace. I'm not sure that Moyes is capable or astute enough, or indeed tactically flexible enough to turn this around. I hope that he is. time will tell.

Our fullbacks offer the team nothing going forward. He should try532 if we're lucky in the transfer window,

Couldn't agree more with your comments. He should have made changes early in the 2nd half, Their no 7 who came at 1/2 time changed the game for them. He could have gone 442 or 532. Our fullbacks are not good enough going forward. Our play is too slow and predictable. Odd thing is we were ok in 1st half after we scored.
{Ed025's Note - to be fair Jimmy and Tim tired second half, no bloody wonder though playing balls to numpties like Barry and McNeil who then lose the bloody thing and they have to chase back all the time trying to retrieve it Grantham..
