I'm happy with start to season, football being played, and transfers brought in. I think we have played well and are in a good position to build - hopefully keep in top 8 until Jan and get 1-2 more in - think this could be a good season. First season in ages where we have an exciting midfield who can keep the ball and no longer just lose it or hoof it forward. Plenty to moan about in previous seasons - This is the best I can remember in a long time.
Moyes seems to have evolved his playing style - Personally I'd like to see O'Brien with Branthwaite in the middle and Graham get a chance up front. If only Barry scored that header or the shot that was saved well by Bournemouth keeper - also Pickford has had a poor start to season - however all teams can say this sort of thing - I'm pleased and think we will do well this year!

I can't see Graham being given a chance personally. He's not a striker. He's played the majority of his games off the left for the U21s.
I'm not saying I don't want to see him play. I just can't see it.
I do agree that we've played some decent stuff so far, I just hope we can keep it up on Saturday.

Moyes has mentioned that BD, if used, would be more of a wide player, as he isn't ready physically to lead the line up top. Probably right to be fair.
On the subject of Pickford, I've been a bit bemused by people having a pop at him so far. I'd go along with that he could have done better for the second goal last week, but apart from that, he has been solid and reliable.
Especially when we consider how ropey the defence has been. If we shore up that defence a bit, then we won't have to call upon as much in games.
