Dyche In/Out

Therein lies the problem from this season’s history.

Don’t sack a coach unless you have a better one lined up.
That principle applies right now to Dyche too.

Problem is Nuno is better than anyone we could attract in our current position.

Well Dyche managed a magnificent 3-0 win at Anfield. So he has it in his locker. I am perplexed why we just can't get it together. Wet Sham are not putting on the pressure or they played two of the sides who are currently ona terrible run of form. We shall see when nuno goes to Chelsea.

We need to show some fight if nothing else. Brentford were walloped by us at the start of the season. yes, we are without wood but surely someone can step up? What i want to see from this team is some energy and physicality. Dom cannot do it all. Also defend a set piece like we did against the Arse. The Ginger Prince needs to get the players smiling and believing. if the tactics are crap then the man management needs to be on point. We shall see in the next few matches...


Chicago: Crossing the fingers.

It's a strange situation we are in. We've looked awful in games that we were expected to compe well in recently. Our goal threat is absolutely minimal. Looked decent against Arsenal and City. Are the players raising their vames for the big boys? Do we have any idea how to attack? Any patterns of play? When Dyche first arrived, we seemed to get a lot of people in the box, we barely get anyone in there now. It's painful to watch. Fans spend a lot of money on normal match days, never mind trips abroad. Thursday was disgraceful.
The training ground isn't the happy cheerful place to be that it was earlier in the season. If that carries on or gets worse, well there's only one way it will end up.
Who takes over though? Not sure anyone in house comes in to make us better. Do we pray and hope that we can stay up by whatever means necessary? Put up with the lifeless football just to get through to the end of the season?
One things for sure, the next managerial appointment needs to be a bloody good one. EM backs the club to the hilt with money for players, not sure why haven't really pushed the boat out for a top manager. He's got it badly wrong on that front this season. Hopefully he will rectify it and we can then push on again.
Not really answered Dyche in or out right now. But 100% Dyche out at the end of the season.

Thing is, Dyche loves bodies in the box and quick counter attacks and crosses. That's his MO. 

Yet they players don't do it in certain games bar Everton when we didn't mix it up enough. It leads me to think there's a proper mix of players who are willing to go back to Nuno ball and those who think we are too good for it

7 points from 9 now.   :OMG:

2 away games and a home game versus the best team currently in Europe.  :Afraid:

Ore football is crap and very difficult to watch but 7 from the last 3 games (2 away) not to be sniffed at (sorry Dyche!)

The FA Cup and Europa games really did dampen the mood. One last chance for a few players on Thursday. They need to take it otherwise they will likely be on the way out before the deadline.

Strangely quiet from some on this thread after the Brentford result….
