2024/25 Relegation Thread

[miami]

Why are we delaying the inevitable? Dyche isn’t going to turn this around. Leaving him in charge for a couple of more weeks will likely do untold damage to our survival chances. No one believes he’ll be in charge for next season.

This is the optimum time to ‘relieve him of his duties’. Just get it done now please.

Leicester isn`t too far away from doing the same, through coaching or recruitment Leicester and Ipswich can change the narrative around what they concede because they can score.

We can`t, under this manager we will not score goals, been the same for 2 years now...

but it’s everyone else’s fault but but

horrible fossil of a manager

Fortune favours the brave

And the brave recognize there's still half a season yet to play.

They'll sack him after Spurs I think. Two defeats at home in five days should do it. No idea why they don't just do it now like

The nearer the end of the transfer window the better for owners who are pennywise.

What another chance for Ipswich there...

Do TFG know anything about football or is this just another business for them. They don't say much, bit like the last lot

They do know about the game, they don’t say much because they aren’t know for letting stuff get out, speaking when necessary unlike Moshiri who was on the radio constantly then went radio silent in crisis

When we play teams above us in the table, Sean has us believe it was a great accomplishment drawing against them. Now that a recently promoted Ipswich is above us, he’ll peddle a new narrative for anyone who draws or beats them. He’s doing everything he can to force us to accept the lowest of standards. Want more for us, Sean.

And the brave recognize there's still half a season yet to play.

If what you’re doing is not working 1st half
I think it’s wise to change something

Accept it now, it will be slightly less painful come May.

He has to go but I keep reading people saying 2/3 players this month - that seems very unrealistic, especially with PSR.

All the more reason for him to go then. We need someone in who can get more out of this group of players than he does, if we can’t get any more.

Ipswich are playing a type of football that Dyche could only dream about - or perhaps it gives him nightmares.

Nobody is convincing me that Ipswich have better players than us but what they do have is a far better manager . McKenna actually knows how to play football rather than hoofball.

Accept it now, it will be slightly less painful come May.

It'll actually be the most painful relegation because unlike in previous seasons we could have done something to avoid it and we were so achingly close to being able to reset the club in a new stadium with new owners in the Premier League.

Instead, welcome Preston North End.

Feels like there’s no fight from the players or fans this year. Everyone is drained from constant relegation battles. I reckon Dyche will be gone before the Peterborough game tbh, can’t imagine the new owners being impressed with what they’ve seen so far.

I think they're more drained from not trying to win games.

Unpopular opinion, but I've got some sympathy for the players. No PL player wants to play this style of football. The game's moved on. They want to get forward, create chances, score goals.

Dyche has and never will be that manager. The lack of goals/chances/attacking play isn't some one off phenomenon, it's the defining characteristic of his management at every club he's been at.

Not saying there's not poor players in this squad, but they're better than this.

Dyche did good job in his first 2 seasons but shocking this year. The pre-season was disastrous, he writes off the first few games of every season because players are totally undercooked and sets the tone another season's relegation battle.

He's done a really terrible job this season.

The big chance was actually after beating Ipswich away. They only had 4 points at that stage and this club was on eight with many winnable fixtures ahead.

Couldn't beat Fulham at home (and should've comfortably lost it), couldn't beat West Ham away and settled for the 0-0 too easily. 0-0 at home to Brentford who played with 10 men for over 50 minutes clearly isn't good enough and losing to Southampton....

Didn't take advantage to build a significant points gap so you have to take the medicine when team below finally strings some results together.

If Ipswich win today then need to be winning two of the next three home games and getting another draw against Villa or Brighton otherwise you start to get stuck in the bottom 3 with the games starting to run out.

Agree, we should have been looking at 7-8 points but ended up with 3, those 4-5 points would have put where palace/west ham are now and out of it a bit

We've done well to stay out the bottom 3 in December but it's catching up with us now
