Dyche Out

[Paplane]

Ask yourself one question though.

EM forgave everything and offered Nuno a new contract right?

So what was it that Nuno then did for EM to have to remove him just a few weeks later?

Told Edu to do one when Edu came in and started giving an excellent coach the big I am?

This season for me is all about recruitment. Whoever was in charge of that needs sacking.

The recurring theme has been first XI ok, any backups are all terrible. That goes beyond the managers we've had. All beset with same problem

Syrianos is only one I trust tbh.

I going to disagree here.

Last summer we only lost one regular fist teamer and that was Elanga.

So last seasons team is still here, the same team except for one who spent most of last season in the top 3.

With that in mind our summer signings were made with one eye on the future, young players who can improve and eventually replace the likes of Murillo, MGW, CHO, Wood etc etc.

So with 99% of last years team who did so well still starting this season that to me points to the current coaching team being the weak link.

Well except the star striker, not to mention Aina was injured for most of the first half. Not signing another decent fullback was a big error.

We hit on the break last season although got found out at the end, we couldn’t break down teams that got behind the ball last season either. Most of our success was around scoring first, we did that a freakish amount of times, and then hanging on. We had quite incredible luck with injuries too.

This season as well as Elanga, we lost Wood and Aina. Also had issues with injuries to Murillo and Sels. For all our recruitment spend we never adequately looked at full back or CF.

Then throw in a bit of poor preseason and managerial chaos, one of whom reduced our defensive confidence to non league level.

Add all that little lot up and yes there is a heck of a lot more to it than the current manager. He has done his best to shore us up at the back but I do accept that Dyche is making himself very hard to love right now.

We will beat Wolves, get something at Brighton. 4 wins plus some draws.

Yes but Wood and Aina were both fit at the start of the season and in summer when we were making signings.

There is no one reason why we have dropped off so badly. The summer shenanigans behind the scenes didn’t help. The owner and the people he appoints to manage the off the pitch dealings have to take responsibility for that. Nuno might have been duplicitous who knows. Ange and Dyche were poor appointments. The players shouldn’t get off free either. Don’t think some have been as committed to the cause as they were last season. Us fans have probably also had unrealistic expectations. The truth is this is our fourth season back in the premier league and in three of them we have been in desperate relegation scraps. Maybe last season was the aberration when most things went right. Scoring first in a lot of games and closing shop, Chris Wood having the best goal scoring season of his premier league career. It could be that we had a settled summer and Nuno was still manager we would still be struggling. The reverse of last season. I do not believe in Dyche but all we can do is keep turning up and encouraging the players.

But when they got injured we had next to nothing to replace them with. The lack of a full back was criminal. Relying on wood when you have extra games fanciful. We spent millions on dross when previously we had a technical data led approach. The difference this summer is stark. It created a scenario where the entire backup squad can't get near the first team. That's poor recruitment

Sorry Sniff, I don’t agree with your interpretation.
I was thinking about this myself and then saw the comments here.

Our recruitment brief was surely primarily to add depth to the squad so we could compete on two fronts, and a secondary element was to target young players to continue the tactic of buying cheap, developing and selling at a profit. I think we fell short this season as the young players are still too far away atm and we didn’t add enough maturity (and threat up front) to cover us this season whilst the young guns take the next 2-3 seasons to develop. Add to that our marquee signing Luiz was just never fit. Add him to Aina, Wood and effectively Elanga because we didn’t replace him, and we have been 4 influential players down from where we should have been.

To be fair, it’s a pretty tough ask to be able to bring in oven ready players who are in their early 20’s.
Impossible, maybe.

Brentford lost 40 goals, never mind just 1 striker. They also sold their captain and leader to Arsenal.
Also hired their set piece coach as manager, and he is putting Dyche to shame !

There is no doubt that some in the dressing room are done with him, and that’s something the big man will be aware of.

Yeah I'm on record as saying I liked the summer recruitment minus the lack of full back.

I was disagreeing with the 99% of last year's team part as that hasn't been true. I think the combination of the injuries, the extra games, the failure of most of the summer signings to have any impact and the coaching staff have all been key issues.

If you wanted to blame the coaching staff for their inability to successfully develop the new guys I think that would be a reasonable complaint.
