2024/25 Sean Dyche - Sacked

[TrueBlue1978]

if i was one of the players who had run themselves into the ground and then basically came up against half a team of fresh legs id be listening to him thinking why he never used the bench.
Still pretty much pissed with him doing sweet eff all at 2-1 up to break their flow.

Deffo mate...
He thinks if he makes a sub the other manager has outwitted his gameplan (chess)
Whilst the other manager makes 3 subs and changes the game....then another 2 subs and wins the game!

That must be some kind of record.

Can’t help but think that a 3-4-3 is best suited for the current squad. I know Thelwell is a fan of 3 at the back and likes Corberan who plays that formation too.

First X1:

Pickford
O’brien Tark JB
Garner Gana Mangala McNeil
Ndiaye DCL Broja

Second X1
Begovic
Coleman Keane Myko
Patterson Doucs Tim Harrison
Lindstrom Beto Chermitti

Both teams have a distinct lack of pace and creativity in them. We’ve had numerous windows to address this and failed miserably.

 

[Marius57]

No pretending here mate, they can’t pass a football.

Collectively this is almost the worst footballing side I’ve seen us have for a long time. Athletically as well we are really, really poor. No threat in behind pace wise and barely any recovery speed going backwards.

All of those players will be getting significant minutes this season, no matter who is the manager. We are bare bones.

Just to point out that Gana’s pass completion over the last year is 84% which includes 89% short pass completion and 88% medium pass completion.

Just to point out that Gana’s pass completion over the last year is 84%. That goes up to 88% for medium range passes.

No no, none of these players have even seen a ball in their lives and they're the worst passers of the ball (or as they call it "round wasp nest") in the Prem.

Absolutely nothing to do with instructions and lack of movement (which has only gotten worse since Dyche as we're always static and going long). No sir.

3-4-2-1 for me with Lindstrom and Ndayie as two no 10s

 

[IV(AC)]

I place the caveat i've never liked Dyche, never thought he represented the club really. But I can also see the convenience considering our predicaments of a simplified negative pragmatism even if it drives me crazy.

What does just astound me though is him just ignoring any idea of maturation of talents aiding his future. Simply put I think he has a terrible eye for talent evaluation. Lest we forget he didn't start Branthwaite last year. How Lindstrom and O'Brien have not sniffed the first team let alone the pitch as subs is egregious and will pay out later. If the rationale is results, we aren't getting them. If the rationale is maturity and mental fortitude we just allowed a team to win a game on 3 goals two minutes before added time.

However much of a mess our club is and our manager offers an achievable path to safety it cannot come at the expense of a development track for our investments. That frankly is non negotiable because that's our future and our only path to elevating above the relegation fodder fray. And it rings a message in future recruitment. I may question Thelwell but he has cobbled some signings with at least an eye to a future. Dyche has to embrace that cause if he doesnt, he has no business being here full stop.

Liking the use of the word egregious
Please post more

I know I said if he not sacked today he won’t but I’m thinking it’s more likely tomorrow if he getting sacked,

Could be a good shout that, not sure we pay a release clause though

he’s not getting sacked mate.

How many of these are progressive, forward passes?

There’s a 5ish yard gap between their two centre mids and N’diaye is free behind them, are you trusting Gana to put the ball through that gap most of the time?

Wait until Villa away and his post match press conference "I could smell it after the first goal after 90 seconds today, but I thought if I give them all the 94 minutes to redeem themselves, that they'd smell it too and react". "Yes a 5-1 defeat hurts but the positives are I thought Keano was fantastic and Dwighty scored a brilliant goal which gets him up and running in the PL"

 

[PhilEFC]

If the only thing keeping him in a job is his pay off, put him on gardening leave until his contract runs out.

We can pay him off like Klarna then.

I dunno mate, maybe go and ask psg who paid £30m for him. Pretty sure they don’t play percentage football.
