• We aren\'t built to win at home because that would mean us going on the front foot. A totally alien concept for Moyes.rnrnNo doubt Moyes will put our home form down to transitioning from Goodison though. Remember, it\'s never his fault ...

• Darren - 69 - an absolutely lovely post. Typical of you. I've been lucky enough to drink with some great lads on this site but you are top of my bucket list. But, sadly, you failed to address the utter shite in Jamie's first post. I hope your post does not in any shape or form make JC think that his shameful post - adopting JC's moral tone, and I have had nothing but good feelings for him before this Darren - is acceptable. It is not. As Moyes said, 'we messed up big time today'. JC, you 'messed up big time today', I agree with Chris - 70 - 'one of the worst posts @33 ive seen'. And not even you DH, one of the people I most respect on this site and will always support when necessary - even though you don't need it - will ever change that mate. Hope that you are more mobile now DH. But you're off to Spud-land, so you're getting better....

• New players will arrive. The exit will beckon for a few. The players with a handful of appearances will make more next season.rnrnThe older guard need to be phased out, but with an absence of depth will be retained. Just don't play them 35+ games a season. rnrnI don't go along the need for 8 to 10 players. We need players that will truly make a difference to this side, that can play now. Not in 3 years time, now. Genuine class.rnrn5 key players change this side, and allow the others to flourish. Not necessarily permanent signings or paid transfers, there are free or loan transfers that can help spread the transfer pot around.rnrnA goal scoring right winger - WilsonrnRight backrnLeft back rnCentre back rnCentre forward rnrnOut - £20mrnColeman rnPatterson rnMcneil rnrnWith 5 good players in, there is enough quality to move the team forward into the European places.

• There’s a big difference between staying for the 90 minutes and staying for an extra 15 while the players get their wives and babies together for a lap of applause. Especially after a very disappointing game and a generally disappointing home season. rnSad for Seamus but the proper way to give him a deserved send off is by sorting out a decent testimonial for him.rnThe sentimentality of bringing him on at all in that game contributed to the loss in my opinion. The crowd were right to waive sentimentality and walk away from those player’s, and the manager’s, little parade....

• An overall disappointment this season. A wasted opportunity.The ground noise was recorded as the loudest ever in the Premier League on one occasion. Unfortunately, it has been like a library on many occasions, due to the boring, safety-first football.rn...
