Some pretty absurd speculation in the media and among some fans about David Moyes being under pressure. They seem to be forgetting that he has saved WHU from relegation twice and has then taken the club to sixth and seventh-placed finishes and reached the club's first European semi-final since 1976.
It's also strange to merge the results of two seasons. A slump was always expected towards the end of last season as the small squad tired and the side concentrated on Europe. What matters is this season's results, which haven't been great. But the side isn't getting tonked every week like Leicester and only an absurd VAR decision deprived WHU of a point at Chelsea. If we're still in the bottom three after ten games it will be more worrying, but home games against Wolves and Fulham are winnable.
Yes, the effort of two near misses at the top four can be demoralising and some players have probably gone as far as they can with Moyes, and he recognised this last season, which is why he has bought in the new signings. The gaffer could certainly be more adventurous (maybe he should play Scamacca and Antonio together?) but right now he needs a bit of patience and time to get the new signings up and running.
