Again, on the subject of last season, I more or less agree. I think it was a huge achievement and one that probably gets overlooked because of a) the less-than-aesthetically pleasing football and b) that terrible mid-season run we had. You and I are in agreement that what he did in the first 18 months was impressive and has kept us afloat, even if he was never going to be loved by many.
I think asking Moyes to take us beyond 48 points this season is a big ask, given we had 17 points from 19 when he arrived (we had 22 points from 19 at the same stage last season), so you're asking for a return of 32 points from 19 games for that, which is pretty much European form. He's doing a great job, but I don't think it'd be any sort of failure if he didn't do that.
