• Neil, you are trying very hard on this thread to give the manager a completely free pass. You basically sneer at the opinion of other supporters when it suits you but then want the pre-match / live forum comments from the Wolves game to be considered support that the manager didn’t throw a group of under-cooked players together for that game. I don’t think I’ve been witnessing players just giving up on the season / already planning their summer hols, as some profess and which is repeated in the OP, as much as players running on empty (which is put forward as a potential root cause in the OP as well).

Moyes 2.0 actually came in and did something for his first 19 games...much to my surprise...but that 2.0 was only a poor spray on tan job and it's worn off now - we're back with the old 1.0 'I need mour salt on ma porridge - Poor Plan A - No Plan B'...
