Which bit of your post explains how the manager or the board are at fault for both Sterling and Ennis being injured at the same time as the likes of Taylor and Whiteman aren’t hitting the target more often with the chances we create.??There are so many variables on the pitch that no amount of action off the pitch can prevent..I was at the Coventry match and Taylor missed the target when it looked easier to score. I’m not going to get over critical of him as he played very well, but it’s fine margins.. we go 2-0 up in that game and we probably win.Unlucky vs Portsmouth..That’s 5 points we could and should have been better off..That’s the vagaries of football.
Dregs.?Which striker has he signed on a permanent deal for 2 years.?Fans have been shouting out for a striker. One of the talented young loanees is just about back and we signed a stop gap player IMHO.The “right” striker can only really arrive within the transfer window..

What an utterly pointless and ill-informed thread!
I don’t see why anyone should be losing faith in Darren Moore, or the club for bringing him in. I wasn’t at the game on Saturday so I can’t comment directly, but I understand we were disappointing. Up to that point we’ve shown a degree of promise in every game we’ve played in. Reading the opening post, I think part of the problem is the expectation (and to be fair the club manufactured this) that we’ll mount a play off challenge. I think we have an eleven that should be capable of challenging most teams, but that’s not enough to sustain a serious challenge over the season. For whatever reason, there have been some serious failings in the transfer market over the summer and the actions have not matched the words. It’s up to the club as a whole to look at what could and should have been done differently, and what we can learn from it moving forward. The timing of McCann’s departure was certainly not ideal, but we still had some time after that - you’d have to question if we used that to full effect. To just say everything is fine is bordering on delusional. So for me this is a season in transition where anything above mid table comfort would be an unexpected bonus. We just don’t have the squad to realistically expect a play off charge in my opinion. January isn’t typically an active window for us, and we are already maxed out on loan signings, so maybe this should be a learning season on and off the pitch. I’m confident we have the right manager and owners, but we can do better in the handling of transfer business surely. And I think our failings in that department over the summer will restrict us in this campaign. We’re doing pretty well with what we have.
No one is jumping on any band wagon, they just have a different opinion to you,, but if you want to shut your eyes to some of the things happening on the pitch that is your perogative

What were the specific “serious failings” in the summer?

We can certainly improve but a couple of defeats doesn't justify the remarks on here regarding DM's suitability to manage a club in the third tier.
I wouldn't be surprised If Moore loans Rayhaan Tulloch in January as he was one of his academy kids. Needs game time is decent. Just not quite ready for Bilic's first team yet

But that can easily be resolved in January, Jonathan, either by signing 1 or 2 of our loans, or by releasing 1 or 2. According to one person on Twitter, Daniels will be leaving in January, so that leaves 5 and then I’d be making serious efforts to sign Dieng.The first priority, though is to get Anderson and Whiteman on extended deals. Preferably sooner rather than later!

Is the fanbase turning against Moore? He almost pulled the great escape with us. Had it not been for the Jones ultimatum he'd maybe still be at ours

I honestly think Darren Moore has the full backing and support of almost the entire fan base. There are a few prolific wind up merchants on here that like to shout otherwise, but every club has a few like that. I think the general consensus is that DM is doing a great job with what he has at his disposal and we’ve played some excellent football when we have our best team available. Unfortunately there’s very little depth in the squad to handle injuries, suspensions, loss of form or a need to switch it around a bit. So that’s why form has dipped.
