….of course the Manager is accountable but I’m not in the camp that blames Dyche for absolutely everything. He can only play the cards he’s been dealt and he has a very mediocre hand to play with. Before the game the argument was whether Lindstrom should start, I suggested both were mediocre and it didn’t make much difference.
It suits Forest to sit back and play on the counter, the difficulty we had was them scoring early which played into their comfort zone. I don’t think it was a case of attacking more, I just think we raised the tempo a bit. Patterson certainly helped in that regard but I think we’d have still been playing now and not scored regardless of manager.
