We played City twice last season, they didn’t score 30 or 10 in either game
But Dyche knows what he’s doing…Awful 2 out of 10 performance
no pressing
no composure
no forwards
no plan
utter

I too like the look of Dobbin he has pace and runs in behind worth keeping around the squad considering how weak our options are….played that like it was a pre-season friendlyA few thoughts;
Thought Onana looked the part. Really positive signs from him.
I wonder if Dyche might see Dobbin as a useful player to have on the bench. He missed a few chances but his speed got him on the end of them.
Branthwaite did well enough, nice flick on leading to the goal. He’ll be one of the main CBs, I’m reasonably sure of that. Only concern for the first games is he hasn’t formed a partnership with Tarkowski and that is key. He’s also only played half a game, next week will tell us more.
Definitely need creativity in this team.

Branthwaite + Tarkowski
Onana + Garner
They should be the partnerships.
We need an attacker to combine with the midfield and forward(s) and a centre forward.
Also, have Holgate and Godfrey got any minutes preseason? Perhaps both out the door?
This positivity will win us the league…

Agree with all three points. Onana and Branthwaite made a difference and should be starting next weekend, and given the sparse options I think Dobbin is one to keep around for the bench- when you've got 5 subs to play with an injection of pace late on can really help. He's getting the most minutes of the youngsters so it looks like Dyche maybe agrees.….played that like it was a pre-season friendly

….Godfrey’s played.
I think a few reasons.
Scrutiny over Moshiri/Usmanov with Russia and Everton FFP.
I think MSP is an issue because of this.
I think Kenwright is a dinosaur/hindrance and Thelwell hasn't got the credentials to be a DOF. Said it last year and I'm saying it again now - we don't have people operating the market who have any proven record of doing so.
But all that said, I think we bring in a couple after we sell Gray.
But then I would have swore we'd bring some in January too.
Six unbeaten now
