Thats incorrect I've critiqued Dyche a few posts back. Its your narrative - not mine.
I dont refuse to acknowledge anything, im taking a systemic non reactionary view - im sitting here thinking to myself, we were in exactly the same position at this stage last season and i was reading posts like yours, fast forward six odd months and same lads were gushing over a Derby win - its hard to take hypocritical posts like that seriously in a moment.
I deflect nothing - i largely blame the players as the first three performances turned on individual errors and a system breakdown yesterday - id go through an U10 team of players doing what our professional footballers did yesterday - ive said consistently though there is collective blame - a good manager fronts - he has and will. The job of work is to correct a reductive mentality in the squad - i think that has disarmed him and surprised him. so id critique him there.
I think you see the game through a confirmation bias - mores the pity - if you dont think we played some great stuff at times yesterday and couldn't see the changes in the second half as influencing the game. The game wont have any enjoyment for you mate.
Football put very simply is process rather then an event, you respond, you never react, a result is a moment in time.
When results turn - this thread will be like a door mouse band, only Duality ever fronts - when its not easy to. Today its easy - thus the whole thing lacks any sense of systemic analysis bar reaction. More so when as i say when its transparently lids trying to create a panic station by narrating a sense of despair and project immediacy. Like i say you respond, you never react and hes archived outcome in the last season and half through massive adversity, past achievement of outcome is an indicator of future performance.
We purred at times yesterday - we take the result on the chin - but all that is left to do is take 98% good out of that game, integrate the new players, get lads back form injury and get stronger on what we did well yesterday and do it better for longer.
