2024/25 Sean Dyche - Sacked

Big call this one. Sacked in april 22 by burnley coz they couldnt win or score. There's a chance burnley would have survived if they had made the decision earlier.
Similarities? Frightening similarities actually. Burnley went down with 7 wins. Mike jackson got 3 of them in the last 8 games. Burnley went down on 34 goals from 38 games. Mike jackson got 9 of them in the last 8 games. Dyche team was on 25 goals from 30 games when sacked. We're on 15 from 18 currently.

😩

I'd be tempted to pull the plug before its to late. His whole game plan is nicking a game 1-0 or toughing it out for a 0-0.
He's worrying me now.

I’d be tempted to get in Mike Jackson (just kidding!)
 

I watch a lot of football, and honestly, almost every other team in this division are entertaining to watch.

They attack with pace and numbers, they take inventive set pieces, they keep the ball on the floor. Even Southampton, you can see what they are trying to do at least.

When I watch us, I’m actually embarrassed. Aimless long balls into the box. Central defenders hitting 50 yard diagonals like a rugby player kicking for touch.

This isn’t football. Not in any modern sense.

If you are still supporting Dyche, then get up off your knees and grow a pair. Go and watch some kids kicking a ball in the street or go down to your local Sunday league matches. Just re-discover the joy in the game.

It’s not meant to be torture, and it doesn’t have to be.

Frighteningly similar... got to go and TFG just sat on their hands expecting it to turn around is pure negligence.

Someone elsewhere had picked up on this a few weeks ago and it seems to have largely been ignored or gone un noticed.

You`d hope the new owners are aware of this, as the parallels between us and them that season they went down, really are quite frightening.

3 of those goals were in 1 game against us too

Burnley has 12 points from 18 games that season. we have 5 more points than that

although they did also draw 0-0 at arsenal that season too
 
So do I

The problem is too many people make excuses for not winning more often

It’s not meant to be torture, and it doesn’t have to be.

Supporting and Dyche and sympathetic to tools he has available are two different things.

I coach football, and would never have my teams playing like this.

But I look at the materials and don’t think I could play this squad. Our wingers aren’t fast, we have no outlets and they have no goals in the squad.

He has done what I wanted him to do which was get us to this point. Head above water and new owners.

The new plan needs to kick in now. If that involves big money investment and new managers that’s okay.

We are potentially in a dead zone with the management team and key playing staff running contracts down and possibly not invested in the future.

Ipswich win last night was slap across the chops for those in favor of Dyche.

Don`t be shocked but I agree with some of that, I also coach adults mainly and qualified to UEFA B but Dyche has to use a system that fits the players not vice versa.

How many years did Man Utd and Real Madrid play with David Beckham wide, he probably had less pace than Harrison. It is only Dyche sit deep and counter tactics is the reason we look like we lack pace in wide areas because in the transition our wide players are way too deep...

He needs to find a way for the wide players to get on the ball higher up the pitch, whether that be winning the ball high with a press, counter press or even just keeping them high with the right or left CMs covering the winger with the full back with the 3 CMs playing sideways a bit like a pendulum, if you get me.

There are plenty of solutions, he is paid £5m a year to figure it out but all he has got is "Play like I did at Burnley" and he never changes it, not one iota.

Guys an idiot and the sooner the club and our supporters who show him the blind faith he doesnt deserve move on the better IMO.

We all know the squad isn't stellar, which is a limiting factor, however the issue many have is that we are likely not utilising what we do have available to us.

As @MACCA75 said, you can't watch the repeated 50 yard looping balls aimlessly punted forward from defenders to an isolated forward and go...

"That's all we can do." You can't watch us rarely try and overlap or break the line with a pass and go, "They aren't good enough to do that." It's naive.

The crux of the matter is that Dyche does not know how to coach attacking play, or worse, perhaps repeatedly ignores it to concentrate on the defensive work.

Only Southampton have scored fewer goals than us this season, so do Ipswich have a better squad? Do Leicester? His job is to lead, and put simply, he ain't.
