Just a few matches that made the difference to us staying up , or being relegated imo. Of course the win at Brighton . Where did that performance come from? The win over highflying Arsenal , in Dyches first match. Perfect time for the new manager bounce. And that Seamus Coleman goal in the win over Leeds utd. All matches that helped keep us up. Although tbh , every point was valuable.
Results that I though , that that was it .
The two defeats to Bournemouth . Lampard should have gone then. And the 4-1 defeat to Newcastle. And especially the 3-1 defeat to Fulham. I really thought that we were goners at that point. So full credit to Dyche and these players for our little rally at the end of the season. Two decent wins , and two away draws. Forget about losing to Man City . That is what it is .
So there we all are . We go again next season. We all know what we want to see happen. We all know the areas that need strengthening. Dyche will know also. And let’s hope that DCL and Patterson can stay fit. And is there any chance that Mina can also stay fit , and get another year. Or is he gone?
Anyhow , some punters knocking the idea of Dyche just getting 44 points next season. Would have took that this season. But let’s just look at that tally as a starting point. Get 40pts , then see what happens.
Last wee comment . And maybe I’m jumping the gun , but how about a decent cup run , next season.. Why not. Up the Toffees.
