Dont see this Dyche ball crap. Before the sending off we were spraying the ball around excellently.

We were. 

The last couple of games Jesus has been making diagonal runs and the midfield have been making more through balls. I can't remember the last time we had 1 on 1s and/or when a wide forward was chasing a ball in behind to get a cross in. That's been happening the past few games and we have the midfields to play those balls.

We need to support the manager. We can still have a good end to the season.

Obviously if we lose to Leeds & wolves it's a results based business. But results are what we are grinding out at the moment. It might not be long term but it is what it is.

You clearly didn't go to Everton, Bournemouth, Villa, Braga, Graz. We couldn't put two passes together and most of the time didn't even try to. The tactic away from home is sit deep and boot the ball forward in the general direction of Jesus who has virtually no chance of retaining possession.

It was like that at Brentford too. For a large period of the game we struggled to string more than 2 passes together.

Results are what counts and for the most part we are doing OK, currently unbeaten in 4 in the league. Evidence to date suggests we have a good chance of survival and some success in Europe with Dyche in charge. Unless results start to suggest otherwise he needs backing for now. We can look at the nicey nicey stuff in the summer and assess if he is right to take us forward or not.

So, 5 games out of 23 have not met your exacting standards, one of which was Dyches first league game, and two were EC games with a raft of changes to the team.

Considering the circumstances, the quality of our play, on the whole, has not been that bad.

And if you have conveniently forgotten what those circumstances were, a starting position in the relegation zone following a disastrous run of games under Dyches predecessor, and the absence of a striker who has been instrumental in scoring a large proportion of our goals during the previous two seasons (35 in 75 games).

There has been a long history of teams attempting to play their way out of the mess we were in, most of which have ended in failure.

The facts speak for themselves - we have averaged over 1.3 points per game since Dyche took over and sit in 10th place in the current form table for that period.

There have been some games where the performances and the result were not acceptable, most of those games occurred when Sangare was on Afcon duty, but they are in a very small minority; there have been other games, like Brentford away - a team who had lost one previous home game all season - where the performance was as good as could be expected. 

There are a small number of sanctimonious people who have a warped perception of Dyche and his style of play; thankfully they are being drowned out by the majority who appreciate the job he is doing.

Well we all probably have different views on this. I suppose a good end to the season is staying up but I think there's a chance we could put a few more results together, climb 3 or 4 places up the league and end the season with high morale on and off the pitch.

I personally think we are in a dog fight but it's possible.
