I read an interview he did about leaving Chelsea and joining Everton, he said some suggested he had taken a step down joining us but he said even he didnt realize how big a club Everton are. He said he spoke to Moyes before signing and Moyes said you play well and I will pick you if you dont I will leave you out, KDH said he liked the honesty. He went on to say that Moyes has been brilliant with him and has helped him improve as a player. We obviously dont know what is being said to who at Finch Farm on a daily basis, but listening to snippets from players can sometimes give us a greater insight into what goes on at the club and the feelings of the players.

Our football has definitely improved over the last few weeks, my Son even commented how much easier on the eye we are under Moyes than we ever watched under Dyche, Lampard or Benitez and my Son is not a fan of Moyes. Obviously putting a string of wins together helps confidence and were for the last few seasons if we went behind we would struggle to win the game, that was even more the case away from home, but now even when we go behind I still believe we can get back into games. Before anyone thinks I think the problems have been solved they havent, we still need to remember we need to play with a high intensity to get results and Friday was a perfect example, first half just strolled about once Coventry scored our intensity went up 20% and they showed what a decent side we are. Our central midfield options are stronger than they have been for a long time and we started with 2 wingers who are just 20 and still learning the game. Our back for looks pretty solid.

It may well be contrary Andrew but we need to look forward ,not back.

He is currently better than one goal every two games.

It would be very difficult for him to maintain that over a full season imo,he is still a very raw player.

If he gets 15 that would be a fantastic return for a young player learning his trade.

I know this may be contrary to many people’s views but I think Barry is thriving because he knows that he is going to be on the pitch for the best part of a game. He doesn’t have that feeling that any minute now he is going to be subbed for Beto.

He is our one and only striker and it’s working well for him.

The same goes for a lot of the younger players they need to be persevered with and they will come good. Dibling is a good example. His confidence is growing the more he plays. George is another. Defenders hate playing against tricky wingers.

Seems like we’ve just gotten football back from the last round of fixtures, and here comes another international break.

Fan boredom, player fatigue and the risk of injuries. All for very little of any consequence.
