Agree with new players - it goes without saying the squad isn’t good enough but Dyche should be doing better with what he has at his disposal. Any new manager coming in needs at least positions strengthened for the first team in January

As I've said loads, I think at best and if lucky with injuries we're 12th. At worst, 17th.

I think the same is true with this squad no matter the manager.

I think the squad is abysmal. But today was merely the latest proof that Dyche isn’t capable of building on any defensive platform he can create. Three excellent draws are three pillars of sand when he follows up with this abomination versus a side we beat twice last season.

So, are the Friedkins going to risk buying players for a manager who a) might not play them and b) will not be here much longer?

I think he’s toast if he can’t beat Bournemouth.

I’m 90% confident he will go now before the end of the season - I think it’s just a matter of time now

But the proof what a good manger can do is confirmed by Nuno. They've signed very few players since he joined i think, and still rely on Wood as a target whom some scoffed as a replacement for our prolific 9. I think our squad is easy top half, albeit with Tim,Garner and Mcneil available.

Has he?

He’s kept us in the league twice alone.

Don’t get me wrong, he’s properly crap. But nobody is really getting much else out of this group. Is it better the devil you know unless we can get some new players?

I’d much rather have Dyche than RVN for example. Hopefully TFG have a succession plan and some wiggle room to sign new players.

Biggest concern for me is you have a manager and half a team out of contract in May - if that was any of us knowing we’re out on our arse in the summer we’d be dialling it in. Not sure if Dyche lets that happen but unless the new fella can buy 4/5 of his own players it’s a big problem.

12th without Dyche, 17th with him - at best. If we get unlucky he'll take us down.

Someone would do very well to have this group 12th, look at who’s above us.

Does anyone watch other teams or just when they play us?

Some proper talent above us, we’re in and around where we could realistically expect to be.
