Just reading comments on here - very hard to hear folk are finished with / close to be finished with EFC / football. I include myself in this bracket.

I don’t think we are asking for the World. Realistically top 4 is not an option for EFC under current premier league cartel

We would however like to look forward to our team playing attacking football and giving teams a real go getting fans behind them and come away from games having seen a decent match.

Leeds / Brighton / Sunderland / Palace / Brentford etc have all done this over last couple of years with mixed fortunes but had the courage to give it a go


Moyes is no different to Dyche - we have been served up dross for over a decade - when was last time we really played well and sore some good goals and made memories - I honestly cannot pick much out.


Why can’t we see Dibling, Hackney, George, Alcaraz, Armstrong, OBrien, Branthwaite, Garner, Dewsberry Hall on the pitch together - Moyes bought most of them

Why on earth have we been left with Barry as only striker - he wouldn’t get a game for any team in the league let alone be only striker

Moyes is setting the tone with his miserable performances and attitude


Need a new manager - candidates only who can move us away from this dire brand of football we somehow have been tagged with

We all should be coming on here talking about great goals, crosses, close games, dribbles, youth development but we are left talking about new board, managers, owners, fines, point destructions, hopeless forwards for years and years.


Imagine being 7-16 yrs old now - would you be keen to support EFC - I grew up with Reid, Heath, Gray, Sharp, Stevens, Southall, Bracewell to name a few but more over - from the whistle we had balls to just bloody go for it as we were EFC !!!

I grew up before those 5 players you mentioned it's been hard going since the 80s, now reading we losing £1 million per week not easy loving my Club mate.

We just lack ambition as a club Sobs. The owners have pulled their flag from the ground. The manager might talk ambition if quizzed on it but in his heart of hearts knows he has none. He's not a winner and can't cut it in the PL. So he creates a false identity for the club that we are underdogs for every game.
He completely underestimates our football knowledge and tries to gaslight us into thinking he saves us from the abyss. That we should be grateful for a nil nil draw against a newly promoted team citing there's no easy games in the PL!
Well David, we know they aren't easy which is why we need a coach to win us games. Not give up before a ball is kicked. He's created a mentality that we must score first to win (you can see this in the stats when we concede first) .
Our plan B is everyone's plan A. In which we only attack when we go behind rather than attack until we go in front. It's not rocket science to know you'll lose more than you'll win with this tactic. And of course we lose more than we win.
The unmistakable fact is that we will have nothing to shout about with him in charge.

Just plenty to moan about.
I feel for the players who are just driven to distraction at the apathetic tactics. They went into this career dreaming of winning and are slowly being brainwashed into being grateful to share the same pitch with clubs like Hull and Coventry, rather than showing them that they're part of the club that these teams should look to in awe.
The people that run and coach our club lack ambition, sporting competence and any sort of desire to dare to win. We are the a Giant in history that's pretty irrelevant in the present. We have one of the newest and best stadiums in world football. Which for us is like having a Ferrari with no petrol to go in it. Very Sad.
So sell the club and change the manager. We don't need a multi billionaire just someone who can maximise and utilise our income more effectively. And then change the manager. Who do we get? Well anyone of the clubs in this league can answer that as they've already got someone who's better than what we have.

{Ed025's Note - spot on for me Ace..

Think the next 2 games will tell us more where we're at than the last 2 games.

25 Oct 2026 21:09:53
The last 15 games will tell you that mate 2 wins only.

25 Oct 2026 15:58:43
What a game take a leaf out of Bournemouth that's how to do it, get at them constantly those prime donas hate it well done, Everton take note.

25 Oct 2026 16:16:04
Because they visit with the mentality 'we can hurt these'

Whereas our club, and its fully the manager imo, turn up and say 'These are a good team, a points a great result'

That will never change until we lose the manager.

I have been extremely vocal in my disdain towards the manager, however I do believe its so strong due to compounded emotions due to us always hiring the same kinda managers. 4 years of Dyche and Moyes, factor in Allardyce and Benitez too all in the past 8 years. Sucks the joy out of the game.

Carlo madrid came calling and Lampard obviously just didn't work, but young modern managers have show major success at other prem clubs in the past 5 years. Try it again.

Never really expected us to beat Arsenal, but to me the real test will be how we get on in the next three league matches, Newcastle, Coventry, Brentford, and where that leaves us before the big game at the end of November.

25 Oct 2026 17:43:39
Exactly Farmer Giles mate.

25 Oct 2026 20:37:57
Well it will be the same players, the same tactics and the same boring play. It will tell us nothing that we don't now know.
We can only hope that Branthwaite and Grealish are fit and that he gives George and Dibling a run and leaves Johnson, Maitland-Niles and Narguard at home, however read line one again.

25 Oct 2026 13:24:11
Another game of football where we set records for the teams we play. Arsenal hadn't scored a set-piece before today.

If that clown plays Johnson ahead of Dibling in the next game, then that alone is enough of a reason to drag him out of Finch Farm.

Johnson had 6 touches in the first half and 10 in total before he was subbed off in 72nd minute. 10 touches for a right winger in todays game is absolutely horrendous. Dibling came on for him and had 24 touches.

It is time to give this lad a fair crack of the whip.

25 Oct 2026 14:14:32
Absolutely BN and not just a couple of games mate. Give the lad a proper run in the side.

25 Oct 2026 15:02:06

Aye mate, same with young Hackney as well! At least the two of them have the b******* to get on the ball and look to go forward.

25 Oct 2026 15:25:38
Moyes take on jake obrien had me convinced he's trying to loose the dressing room said obrien still has a lot to learn probably what he thinks of dibling n alcaraz not the sort of manager that makes you want to run through brick walls is it.

25 Oct 2026 16:16:08
Moyes was half the player JOB is and just like we are stuck with a hatstand for a center forward we are also stuck with a turnip for a manager.my God i'm getting close to being finished with football.

25 Oct 2026 20:09:16
Have you been drinking BB you called it football!

25 Oct 2026 20:47:09
I see what you did there SB made me laugh lad.

25 Oct 2026 21:40:22
You need to laugh about something BB after the crap we've been watching.

25 Oct 2026 22:22:01
To true mate.

25 Oct 2026 10:23:53
I read all the posts with interest and, appreciate the passion in all, however, while I might not agree with all, and I am a Moyes out now supporter, I accept the argument that rather than sack now and pay compensation, it's better to leave until the end of the season when his contract runs out.

That would give us plenty of time to have talks with the parties we want rather than trying to find someone in a rush. I doubt we will go down but accept we will have to write off another unsuccessful season.
