Yeah that sounds more reasonable, is that since Dyche took over by chance?

We really did waste some games early in the season. Losing home to Sunderland, draw with Burnley, losing to West Ham at home.

Yep, and after tonight we will have expended our 'easiest game of the season' token (Wolves Home) and we're still right in the mire. All of our competitors have their home game versus Wolves to come. Not good.

Anyone remember a couple of seasons ago when we played both terrible Burnley and even worse Sheff Utd right at the very end of the season, thus denying us the ability to get points on the board earlier? I've always thought that was to our disadvantage when all other sides had already banked their wins against these two really poor teams.

Yeah I remember that, agree in made our record look worse than it was in reality. Massive advantage to have easier games early, bigger teams tend to be in multiple competitions later on so will rotate and be more tired etc. Even midtable teams will tend to ease off when Europe/relegation is safer. 

Man Utd at the end is a worry as they have no other comps.

So, assuming we win tonight (big if I know, lol), we go level on points with Spurs. To finish above them, we have to have one point more than them to account for the goal difference, and they will have their home game v Wolves joker card up their sleeve. So we have to better all their other results by 4 points basically. Same for Leeds (depending on a much closer goal difference). At this moment in time I honestly don't see how we're going to do it.

Interesting to see the outcome from here. Seems the players will have a say

In fairness whilst there is no gameplan worth speaking of, I think there was effort, in general.

Is that not even worse, they tried hard but are just technically deficient.

Last post because I don’t want to repeat myself ad nauseum . No they’re not technically deficient. Do you honestly think looking at that team sheet that they’re technically deficient? But they aren’t coached to attack in a cohesive way, with patterns and interchange. That’s the problem. I wish you all a good night.
