• Moyes - Return 15/1/25 P34 W15 D10 L9 Points 55 Goals 45 v 36 Comparison with those same 34 games under Dyche P34 W 8 D 11 L 15 Points 35 Goals 28 v 51 Scoring More, Conceding Less, 20 more points. And the next two games saw the grand total of zero goals from all sides. We have failed to score in only 8 of these games, Villa, Villa, City, City, Chelsea, Sh***, Spurs and that Leeds match. Does that back up the Knife to a Gunfight or just that with only 11 clean sheets he is not as defensively minded as he was 20 years ago with KITAP1? Mark 19 is pretty spot on but as ToffeeWebbers will know I prefer comparison with the same fixtures as for instance we have 2 defeats in the last 13 derbies at GP but 9 at Mordor. So who we play and where gives, IMHO, a better comparison than just first 15 games. But adding last seasons results in the remaining fixtures to the current table gives this projected final table Man City +10 81 Arsenal ...

• Funny how we're the most improved team, but "I'm not sure Moyes can take the credit for that", but you can bet that if our form had further deteriorated, then it would absolutely be Moyes's fault.It's a solid season. Not amazing, not terrible.But I do think people should be honest about their biases when judging performance....

• Playing the right players in the right positions is paying off. I know some will disagree, especially with the defensive positions, however Moyes has few players to field in those positions and has generally made the right decisions on whom to play where. It's been a makeshift defence but it's holding, which is the important thing.Midfield has become the powerhouse it should be, with Dewsbury-Hall, Grealish and Ndiaye all stepping up.Garner is showing his ability, which seemed to dip in the previous season.Strikers... I hope and believe Barry will come good. If not, that's a position we have to fix in January.Overall, Moyes knows how to set up a team and they're showing what they're capable of....

• We may be the most improved team in the league, but I'm not sure Moyes can take the credit for that. There are a lot of poor teams in this league, and we've rode our luck on more than one occasion including the scrappy 3-0 slugfest at the weekend.. We may have the most wins away from home of any team in the league, but this just underlines the drop in standards across the whole league. The penny may be dropping with the manager and he's begun to listen to the fanbase that we need to attack teams and score more goals, but it's still very early days. Let's get to the end of the season, thank him for his services, and get down to the business of finding a manager with ambition. ...
