2022/23 Michael Keane

[kenada_blue]

Playing the type of football Dyche plays, the game plan he uses and what he needs his centre backs to be good at (defending the edge of the box and attacking crosses), Godfrey or Holgate would be far worse choices than Keane - it is exposing the weakest parts of their game.

I’d be surprised if Dyche is even considering Holgate or Godfrey as centre backs - hence his defensive mid and right back experiments last night. At centre back he’ll be picking from Tarks, Coady, Keane and Mina.

Last night night have signalled he’s not sure about Coady, he was probably due being dropped. Suspect Keane might not get back in for a while and we might see Mina and Tarks against Forest.

Think Coady will go straight back in personally. Don't think Dyche is someone that'll constantly chop and change a defence. Probably felt he needed a rest.

The catalyst for the past defeats to me has been Gana. Let the RS counter on us rather than commit a foul. Penalty against Villa when were the better team. And the 2nd last night which killed the game off.

Defence isn't a huge issue IMO.

He did mate, but a win/win for all type of deal i think.

Except for us.

hes not insane, probably couldn't believe some idiots were offering near 30m for a PL bottom third/championship level player with 1 year left on his contract.

That was kind of the point I was making.

Except for us.

I thought it writing, but didn’t post it, was feeling the optimism round lunch time.

Massive question mark over Dyche.

What kind of idiot goes with Keane when you have Mina...

Hopfully he gets more game time today, we need a change from Coady and Tarko as automatic starters, the competition will do Coady good

Could do Coady good...but is it worth giving away a goal a game starting Keane?

How Mina isnt playing is beyond me.

Normally I’d have thrown the injury prone card at you but with 5 subs it doesn’t even matter if he has to go off.

Comon Keano, get us a goal and a clean sheet and make us all eat some humble pie.

That assist was world class. Good first half.
