Great second half early subs changed this around up to 7 th, get rid of Moyes yeah right well done all.
{Ed025's Note - it was a great 2nd half GB but what what the hell was that first half all about, and that seems to be the norm now mate..
07 Feb 2026 17:27:01
We were very lucky to get the 3 imo GB. That starting 11 was criminal imo mate. We were very fortunate to have the calibre of players to bring on but that doesn't make me think it was part of the plan.
Terrible first team selection imo and we got away with one.
{Ed025's Note - absolutely BN, i know i sound like a moaner but i hate the way we start games mate..

The last 3 games have been the same bad first half’s then turn it around in the 2nd still a good win.

Not moaning at all Ed. For me there is simply no excuse for it mate.
Penysarn, 100% a good win! Any win is a good win but we were unbelievably lucky imo.
{Ed025's Note - its just that we wait until we are behind before we decide to pull our fingers out BN, you can get away with it the odd time mate but if we carry on you can bet your life we will come a cropper mate..

We have such a good bench now Ed and to give Moyes his due he changed it early on and that made the difference mate, unlucky with the Myko deflection into our goal but agree we need to pull our socks up first half Bournemouth up next at home so good chance to get it right.
{Ed025's Note - i would sooner start off with a good side though GB rather than rely on our bench to pull us out the crap mate, and we need to nail that bloody Barry to that bench imo..

Now aye, I won't have your use my name in vain ed :)

Why praise Moyes for making changes when it’s his set up to start with that is wrong. Get it right first time.

If we win the double some here would moan cause we didn't win the treble but compared to the past five years I'm quite happy with the progress.
Moyes isn't the long term answer, we all know that, why do you think the January window was so quiet. There will be changes in the summer and then we'll see the transfers we all want.
NSNO UTFT.
{Ed025's Note - i think we all see the progress WT, i think the bugbear is that we have the players to put some teams to the sword mate but the set up is so bland and negative that we start off looking to keep teams at bay rather than going for the jugular from the outset..

It’s not moaning it’s stating the bloody obvious.

I’d personally take DM’s team selection against any team that we beat away from home. The aim of the game is to come away with three points and he keeps doing so. I think fans need to remember with the small squad we have after ONE summer window DM is transforming EFC.
People are surprised that we were so slow in the first half and we weren’t putting them under pressure enough? No, we were the away team and (surprise! ) the home team with the same amount of points than us playing in front of their home fans played better than us for 45 minutes! For nothing! WE came away with 3 points away from home again and climb up the table.
UTFT.
{Ed025's Note - thats fine Peter, but we are the same at home mate and for me that has to change..

It’s a new home tbf though Ed and as history has taught us it will take time to settle. West Ham, Tottenham and even Arsenal also struggled to start with in their new homes. We even mentioned this on here before the season had even started. If we scored 5 in the second half yesterday it would still be criticism on here today. Too many fans think they can manage, it’s hysterical.
We’re in February and are in a position to fight for Europe.
I’m quite sure every fan would have taken this before the season started.
Massive shout out to the away fans yesterday they were brilliant, I couldn’t make the trip but will be at the United game after the break. Clearly the key in our new home is to score first.
Going to go back to just reading the posts on here, I find most views real odd especially when we’re picking up points and moving up the table.
All the best anyway mate. UTT.
{Ed025's Note - im more than happy with the way things are going Peter i must say, but after what we have been through in our recent past you cant really blame supporters being a little bit greedy mate, luckily because im an old git i have had some great times and seen some teams but a lot of our younger fans have yet to witness that, i feel we are close you know and with a few more recruits and a bit less pragmatic tactics we could be on the cusp of bringing back the good times..
