I hope this is true. Garner shows how this club can develop players. Moyes sees something he likes, I'll trust and hope he's right. Win for everyone.

Certainly one of GOATs as manager. I didn't realize we were quite as far up the table before the wheels came off in the last 7-8 games. Even got DCL scoring a few. Feel we didn't see quite the best of Allan and James.

I'm going for luck and some Forest complacency once they quickly figure out we're not that good. Also they're in the catch 22 of needing to play some attacking Dyche ball. For that I read corners and free kicks. Cue 88 mins of many defensive headers before BETO breaks, looks up, hits well...

That was great business. Plus the drawn out Gylffi saga for £40m+ whatever. Classy

Barry and Beto oozing goals and confidence, I'm writing this purely in the hope of a surprise brace from either/ between them tonight :)

Hand in heart, I can only say I've watched him in a handful of games. But the highlights reel for Beto and Barry must've been Oscar worthy for it's special effects, so can't see how a fresh face could be worse. Mainoo interesting, too, albeit similar ISH to Charly.

BBC mentions Mainoo and Zirkzee. But still no utterances of LB/RB ... Surely this is the priority alongside a functioning striker?

Missed the Burnley game, sounds like one of the disjointed efforts we offer up time to time (villa, spurs, Newcastle). I don't know if these games expose Moyes limitations tactically and/or squad. We're in a James Garner thread so I mention it here as I don't see what we get from this Man Utd...

Hm. Only one way to find out I suppose.

This is interesting. Moyes played Barkley and Rooney as teenagers. Seamus was young, too. I don't see Harrison Armstrong in that category, but trust Moyes to use him if there was genuine opportunity. Injury/squad cover, MAYBE We're chasing Europe, NO we're in no man's land with 5-6 games...

i cant remember a decent ball into the box from us the whole game, maybe an early corner... that's been it

yeah, not quite at it.

And would be a big boost for upcoming game. Got an hour to get something

Pickford not miles from that, went underneath it... saveable but the height's done him

20 odd mins going nicely. JOBs been great playing out of position at RB this season, but lost the flight of that one, shame.
