That idiot of an official wouldn't have listened anyway. If anyone can genuinely explain to me why the Branthwaite push in the back wasn't looked at by VAR I would love to hear it.

Always more attentive to any foul on a Notts Forest player and also ignored our players when they went down in pain. Certainly seemed biased towards them.

Having said that, maybe it was due to the statement Notts Forest released on social media following this fixture last season, leading to the close calls going their way today.
 

Felt a bit like a kryptonite team for us to play… we’re much better at playing teams that come out and attack us. They are riding the crest of a wave right now, and the lesson is that this could (should!) be us next season.

It seems as though there are a few teams outside of the six who are pushing quite high up the table, with Notts Forest being the latest addition to that group. The likes of Newcastle, Aston Villa, Brighton and Bournemouth have all pushed quite high up the table on waves of strong form.

Being able to string together a run of positive results certainly helps, unlike what we are delivering at present. We have hardly had any consistent spells of good results since Ancelotti, bar the brief period following the ten point deduction last season.

Dyche is a Millwall lad and a great manager. Took Burnley to Europe and kept you lot up against all the odds. So I was lurking and seeing a bunch of hate and felt I had to speak up.

I think you all are getting a bit too big for your boots.

Dyche literally put Everton in the postion you say he saved us "At all Odds" Dyche went on a winless league run of 13 games in 4months. More often than not, that is followed by the sack. He's followed up this season with 3 wins in 18 prem games. While blaming the players he says for not playing the way he claims he told them, which is more than likely a Fib
 

Fed up with him to be fair. It’s rinse and repeat with the way we play. It’s so turgid to watch.
These players struggle to create and what was clear is the fact we don’t appear to practise forward play.
We got a corner today and nobody went across to take it. Ndiaye went across eventually to take it after an age.
Nobody was put forward to take corners. What a joke.
It’s embarrassing the way we set up.

Were we missing McNeil and Garner today?
Or can we just not hit a barn door with a banjo?

I'd have liked for McNeil to have been in the side today so that we could have moved Ndiaye into a more central position. It is worth mentioning the need to rest some players too - especially the midfielders (Gueye, Mangala, Doucouré) - given that there are a handful who have played many games.
 

I have been okay with Dyche for a long time. Simply because I’ve seen this over and over again and I couldn’t be bothered with it again. However. I am now in the Dyche out posse. I’m so bored of us not having shots, not attacking, not winning games, it’s just miserable supporting us.

Also, what annoys me is why are we everyone’s laughing stock. We have played three players from the start today who are on loan. The F.A must be buzzing off us. They can’t sign players, have sold everyone, they have players on loan and if they go down all of them players leave anyway. We have DCL who wants to leave and his bird is being a bell online, we have Maupay being a weapon too. Match of the Day put our game second! second!!!!! When was the last time we went second on Match Of the Day. There was no talk of our dominance with possession, nothing. Blatant pen on Braithwaite for a shirt pull not given, if that’s Salah or Diaz it’s given.

We have just become a joke.

Ok, so just answer this. Without Dyche holding you back, where do you reckon you’ll finish? Bc it seems to me there isn’t a lot of talent there. Branthwaite is class, sure. Calvert Lewin is better known for wearing a skirt than for his football ability.

I just find it extremely hard to believe that another manager would get a tune out of your side, especially if he started playing the style that all the pundits and championship manager tactics nerds tell us is the “right way”.
