Brighton pretty much out of range now, would take 4 wins and a 10 goal swing.
Huddersfield have Chelsea, Everton, Man City and Arsenal left, with a worse goal difference though, so are there for the taking. ;)
Win Saturday and we'll all start to believe.
Hallelujah.

If we won all four and Brighton lost all four that's a minimum 8 goal swing.

(I don't actually believe this will happen!)

Have to admit I was questioning his first substitution. Wasn't sure why McClean was taken off when Gibbs got subbed minutes later. Would have though a straight Gibbs for Evans or Burke would have been a simpler approach. Worked in the end though.

Absolutely love the man's enthusiasm, but it's going to take a lot more than enthusiasm to move us on from this season

if Darren gets the job full time he has to be more proactive in using bench, if its not working change it.

I have mixed feelings , felt for a while we should gamble on somebody fresh . I'd have Moore over a lot of names mentioned so far.

Can't help it, it's the most fun I've had all season. I can see the DVD now:

"The Great Escape II: The Return of Big Dave"

 :D
Looks like we'll still be in it at 3pm next Sat.  I reckon or chances are up from 1% to about 3% now 😉

He needs to do the business and Newcastle and palace sides we're expected the game too. We have done well in our free hits. I'm impressed so far especially that he didn't crumble and put Evans back in the team. He needs to demonstrate we can take the game to teams and then he will defiantly be in with a shout
O Albion we love you

 ;D He would be a fantastic Assistant coach...he needs to stay with the Club and whoever comes in would have a fantastic attribute in Big Dave.

In a year or 2 give him the "Big Job". ;D

The utterly ideal situation for me would be to get in a head coach strictly on a two year contract, with Darren Moore being his assistant (one of two if the guy wants to bring one) with the approach that Darren is lined up to take over after that.

A lot of the really successful teams adopt a system of promoting internally through a system of progression and talent recognition. I wonder how Darren would handle a 3-4 game dip in form in November of such, especially if we've a lot of the team to replace.

Aim high for the next coach, bring in the very best person we can (which probably means aiming at an old head who will come for the money, Luiz Felipe Scolari for example). Pour as much knowledge and wisdom into Moore and the other internal coaches as possible and then promote from within.

Lets try thinking more than 1 year ahead. Lets put a proper system in place!

I believe something along those lines is the aim, whether we actually achieve that remains to be seen.

Big Dave has really got them playing now and I wonder if it's down to his motivation or players thinking he will get the job so I have to impress him.
If that's the case they need to make a decision sooner. The issue with appointing someone in the Summer or close to end of season is that they may decide to 'give everyone a chance' whereas we know what they're like and few chances would be offered.
I think this process will take a lot longer than we think, unless there is someone waiting in the wings.

I think these performances have always been in there somewhere.  Maybe Pulis had run his course with the squad, or the injuries were too much for the squad we had, but one things for sure, Pardew did not get the players on his side and playing for him.  I'd love to have been a fly on the wall for chunks of this season and see how bad it was and why management didn't do something sooner.

This is muddled thinking. For a start, what coach with any confidence in his own ability is going to take a job where he is just keeping the seat warm for someone else? I doubt if such a person exists.
But just for a moment, let's assume that we found this mythical person and project forward with a couple of very plausible outcomes.
1 He gets us promoted in his first season, and gets a top ten finish in his second, making some excellent signings along the way. The team is playing with confidence and there is a feel good factor about the club. What are you going to do? Sack him and replace him with Big Dave? I don't think so.
2 He is a disaster and we are bottom of the Championship with half the matches played. What are you going to do? Sack him and appoint Big Dave 18 months ahead of schedule? Sack him and look for someone else to appoint in mid season for 18 months? What if this person then steers us clear of relegation and then gets us promoted in the second season? Sack him and replace him with Big Dave? I don't think so.
We all love Big Dave. He is a legend. But maybe he needs a bit more experience to undertake the role of head coach. In which case, we appoint the best person we can find, and offer Big Dave a role within the new set up. If he continues to develop as a coach over the next few years, we can look at him in a few years and make the decision then. On the other hand, if he is ready now, let's appoint him now. This is a decision for those with a finger on the pulse within the club and they have to make a judgement. But, I would suggest, your "utterly ideal situation" is not an outcome that has even a sniff of actually happening.
