A lot of people agree that probably the best spell of the season was a few weeks back where dyche finally found the "11" that went on that 5 game unchanged run and earned the points that has kept us in with a fighting chance. Without that run we'd be down.
The red card for Doucoure initially and then the injuries to Coleman and Onana saw a devastating decline in form and a predicted move back in to the bottom 3 where we're now adrift, via not too difficult games on paper.
Many people said that with that 11 back we stay up, without it we go down, and I agree.

So it's looking like we have that 11 back. Pickford, Coleman, Tawkowski, Keane Godfrey/Myko, Iwobi, Gana, Onana, Doucoure, Gray, Mcneil.

My question is does/should DCL start if that line up if they are all fit to play?
Should not that 11 be allowed to pick up from where they left off when they were doing so well?

Or do we play DCL, probably with Gray dropping to the bench for the starting 11? I'm betting that's a problem Dyche is now fighting with.

My worry is putting Lewin straight in means the dynamics of that team is now different, ie. concentrating on supplying a no 9 with service as opposed to getting on with their own games in the format Dyche set them up with for that run.

I'm honestly thinking we should use him as an impact sub for the coming games, much as we did with Simms if we needed to change.

I'd honestly like to see the 11 we did actually admire have a chance to get back together and find that magic again, tough one.

The best performance came with that set up but DCL up front instead of Gray.

Again Dyche mentioned ‘his head’ have said all along more to this than just the phantom injury.

Yep, Lampard and Dyche have both repeatedly referred to this in interviews and press conferences, it's been clear for a long time that they've believed he is physically capable of playing but they haven't wanted to rush him back before he feels ready.
 
Hope he has a blinder tomorrow night and every other remaining game. Need him on fire again like he was under Carlo.
