I was, but you used that we were 3-0 up at the time as a reason to poo poo the players actually got on the pitch.
I used a game previously as an example of us using our subs bench also, which was a tight game.

I didn't suggest that. At all.
You're overreacting. It realistic terms, we only really need another 8-10 points out of the remaining games to secure at least 17th. If we can't do that, then something has gone catastrophically wrong beyond just the business we've done in this transfer window..
Its also the first time in a long time i feel we could also win all 3. I don't think we will but we have a chance.

Doubt he would have pulled us out of that situation this season.
Players were gone, and he said himself he couldn't do anything anymore with this squad.
So, the previous two seasons counted for nothing vs this season.

Definitely not everyone.
A couple of (the right) signings would have been good, but there are several who have advocated for pragmatism since TFG took the reigns. See the season through, remain in the Premier League (almost accomplished) and invest in the summer when the squad needs the beginnings of a rebuild.
The summer, unimpeded by any international tournaments is the perfect time to bed new faces in and get prepped for August - assuming that we're able to do early business in June; or that we can strike up pre-contract agreements with impending free agents. Once June comes around, the PSR/FFP burden is lifted to an extent and we're in a new cycle; one that comes with a new stadium offering a HUGE increase in revenue and the additional bonus of sponsorship/naming rights which further boosts our capacity to spend.
I remain unconvinced that Moyes is the right man for this new cycle, but my word he's reinvigorated the place in the space of a few weeks.

If I was Moyes I’d name 3 keepers on the bench and call up that big nosed clown thelwell. Stick him on the bench. Beto gets injured sub The Conk on to prove a point.
Just tried to quickly list players we have in now, who I think are contracted beyond this season
Jordan Pickford
Nathan Patterson
James Tarkowski
Jake O'Brien
Vitalii Mykolenko
Jarrad Branthwaite
James Garner
Tim Iroegbunam
Dwight McNeil
Iliman NDiaye
Harrison Atmstrong
Beto
Chermiti
I figure these are off;
Joao Virginia
Asmir Begovic
Michael Keane
Seamus Coleman
Ashley Young
Carlos Alcaraz
Abdoulaye Doucoure
Idrissa Gana Gueye
Orel Mangala
Jack Harrison
Jesper Lindstrom
Dominic Calvert-Lewin
Armando Broja
Yikes.

Realistically though the majority of the ones that are off could be retained if we so choose. So while it looks scary numbers wise, isn't it better to be able to pick and choose than be stuck them?
Tbh I'd be surprised if we didn't take up the option on alcaraz....
He's definitely the type of player moyes likes, a grafter with that little bit of quality, arteta/pienaar-esque

Gana will stay for another year.... Alcaraz is only in the door so his trial period will decide

Absolutely this.
The club has a brilliant opportunity to 'reset' this summer and it should be embraced. The absolute worst thing they could do is panic and hand out new contracts left, right & centre.
Experience tells me to expect Moyes to be very careful about signings. The last time he was here, he spent as if he was using his own money, if he didn't think he could get value for money he didn't spend. I doubt very much if it was the Texans not providing him with a transfer budget, I think it was more likely to have been Moyes deciding the value wasn't there and deciding to wait until Summer.
He obviously thinks he has enough to get through with what we had plus Alcaraz, I just hope he's right. We look ok at the moment, but,a couple more injuries could change all that.

Yes. That’s how business works. Of course.

I could extend Virginia, Gana buy Lindstrom, based on how well they have played this season, and make Alcaraz a permanent based on nothing but a feeling.
Mangala not sure.
The remainder can leave.
Not sure Virginia would agree to a renewal.
Lindstroms option is £20m+. Wouldn't pay that based on him so far. He hasnt scored a goal in years, we can't keep carrying players in attacking areas who don't score. Not sure he's registered an assist yet either. He'd have to really show something the rest of the season to consider taking that option.
