Apart from the 4 other games this season that we haven't lost but yeah continues to come second 

Moore still far from convinces me but this is a ridiculous narrative 

Misinterpretation of the point i was making. I am referring to several key games over the period of Moore's tenure when he has lost out tactically to other managers. So yep we can flat track bully a few teams, but what was noticeable in our last 2 defeats is our managers in Maccan and Neil at Sunderland have out thought him. Or I see it he doesn't really seem to know how to combat it during the match.

Take Tuesday, if they are targeting the right hand side, why not go 4 4 1 to try and frustrate them.

My over-riding point, do we want to get promoted ? I am not convinced that Moore as that je ne sais que to do that. 

You get promoted by turning tight games into 3 points, clawing back draws from defeats when you have adversity of a red card

My issue with Tuesday was a very rushed plan to take off Byers - with HT so close anyway and then no urgency to address the situation at 1 down.

Evidence as I am saying about making key calls correctly at pivotal times that cumulatively limit our chances of promotion.

The undercurrent of disliking for Moore has never really gone away. And the result on Tuesday just brought it bubbling back to the fore for many. Last season, around October IIRC, I voiced my dissatisfaction around the job he was doing so yes, I’ve not been a fan. 

However, post Xmas, (playoffs aside) I thought he did well, the results were there we were largely scoring and well, it almost happened. But, the issues always remained during that time. Conceding crap goals, either from simple crosses, set pieces or late goals.

We’ve not yet conceded from set pieces, or late on this season but the crap, easy goals with poor defending are still there, so it doesn’t surprise me the nay sayers are back, and quite loud. let’s be honest, they started coming back (wrongly IMO) against Charlton at half time with the boos. 
DM doesn’t help himself, his decision making SEEMS erratic at times when it comes to team selection. Part of me thinks, with the subs this season allowed, that tinkering may well be what we see across the board now, but he did it last season. 

I don’t want us to constantly be chopping and changing, having the players needing time to get used to a new system/manager etc.  Suppose we’ll see what happens, I want DM to be a success, I really do, because then we succeed. But…. I have my reservations.

Serious question do you like anyone or anything about the current squad or mgt team?

Smith was a snidey little shit when he was playing. Sort of ankle scraping, toe treading, who me type of player. I always saw him as one of those blokes who'd throw the first pint glass then run out when it kicked off

Exactly. 

 

Happy doesn't have the mental capacity to think back
