Dyche and Thelwell

maccavennie said:
100% that's what it is.

Dyche mentions it on numerous occasions about not making changes unless it's necessary. Burnley fans came on here and said he'll pretty much pick the same 11 when given the chance and he's been proving right.

Put it this way.

DCL is given 17 games to score a goal -
Beto is given 1
Lindstrom stunk the gaff out 1st half against Palace and is dropped -
Harrison is given game after game
Mcneil given game after game when in poor form
Doucoure given game after game in poor form

There's 14 players he loves which are

Pickford
Young
Coleman
Keane
Tarkowski
Branthwaite
Mykolenko
Gana
Garner
Doucoure
Mcneil
Harrison
Ndiaye
DCL

He'll do his utmost to ensure they're in the 11, playing the same rigid system of hoping to get the ball forward for a set piece

He used his pet names ‘Keano’ and ‘Youngy’ in the post match interview too. Only an idiot publicly endorses favourites in such a loudhailer fashion. Get him out.

I’m on record as supporting Dyche but it’s been largely dire this season. I hoped he’d make us better but it’s not looking that way, I can’t defend or make excuses for performances like today. I think his anchievement last season was terrific but I fully understand posters who want him out and have no issues if that happens.

I’m on record as not being a fan of Thelwell but know lots think he’s doing a good job. I don’t. It doesn’t mean I have an agenda, I’d like him to be good. I don’t get he can only sign players on ‘pay nothing up front, pay later deals’, it’s no excuse to sign poor footballers. I don’t get he has little money to spend, DoFs are paid lots of money to find players within the budget they have.

I think it’s important the Manager and DoF are on the same page but I thought there were a few telling quotes tonight from Dyche suggesting they’re not.

He said; “I like Fulham, they have recruited really well”, suggesting we haven’t. Asked why he doesn’t play 4-4-2 as he often did at Burnley, he said “I don’t have the personnel to do it here’.

So, maybe there’s an issue here. Maybe it’s not Dyche and Thelwell, maybe it’s more Dyche v Thelwell. Interesting what the new owner does as these are the key appointments in any club.

His quotes don't suggest anything at all.

Pundits every week say Fulham have recruited well , especially replacing their two best players that have left.

The ONLY issue here is & has been all along is he has his favourites and fits them into the team regardless of who he has available.

All on Dyche this.

It’s clear as day Dyche is ignoring O’Brien and is only grudgingly using Lyndstrom and Mangala. A canyon between him and Thelwell.

Id be interested to know which players he was pushing for given the clubs perilous financial state recently. The likes of Phillips and McTomminay never seemed realistic imo.

I’d rather we moved on from both and the new owners bring better people in. Perhaps the recruitment set up as a whole needs a change .

Money has been tight and we signed a centre back for close to £20m who can’t get a game. Beto was a highly questionable signing as well.

It’s going to be a massive task to fix all the crap that’s happened here.

Beto was a throw of the dice, we needed a body up front, it was 20m max… we threw a 3.
We might get 12mil back and couple of goals like tonight.

Fair question. Philips, for one, is a major bullet dodged and reminds me of the other ruinously expensive peanut head midfielder we signed from city. And who was brutal.

What’s he on about? Ndiaye is a forward who could play up front with DCL. He is a professional waffler, professional excuse maker, and crap turgid dinosaur of a manager. I can’t stand him.
