Spin it however you like, we’ve got 4 from 6.

Now really ain’t the time to be ‘giving people time to settle’. That’s when you’re comfy in a game or in mid table against a crap side.

We have never been the former and we’re the crap side in the latter. Can’t afford to blood youth when you’re struggling like we are, and it’s totally unreasonable to expect that much from the young lads too.

Appreciate O’Brien is 23 but he’s played one season in the top flight of a country.

Whats the correlation between top flight experience and being superior to Michael 'The Oaf' Keane ?

You’re forgetting that it took a near fan mutiny, for Dyche to reinstall Mina over Keane, which eventually played a massive part in us staying up that year.

Dyche knows best, apparently.

Spot on , I mentioned that the other week mate it’s amazing how many have forgotten . If you remember he publicly backed Keane a couple of times , then said it’s not about individuals then I think something about him being fit but not the right fitness .

Then back to the wall Brighton away in he came and I’m certain pre game Dyche almost came across angry or rather frustrated about having to do it . As you correctly said a huge part of us staying up .

Edit . Found the dyche quote when he played him
“Yerry was the only player who hadn’t stepped on the pitch for us in real terms. At some point, I’ve got to look at that and go ‘Could he offer us something different’?”

Have you seen O’Brien play?!

He’s quite clearly not ready for this league yet. If we’re comfy or if we’re playing lesser teams then fair play but it’s Newcastle ffs.

Never going to get ready if he’s not playing any games. It’s not just Newcastle, he should have been in the side before it getting minutes.

Theres absolutely nothing we don’t already know about Michael Keane & we continue to lose games with him in the side.

Ridiculous at this point
