Dyche is a realist. Some on here just can’t handle the truth.
Apparently squad quality, injuries, board disruption, PS&R, selling you better players, ownership uncertainty, points deductions are not challenges that affect performance on the pitch when your name is Sean Dyche.
And he would have seen an away win following lots of good chances created and a wonderfully take goal had two centre backs with a combined 500+ PL appearances put a name on a harmless cross and nodded it away.
Some of the subs are often baffling, but unless he flat out lied about Ndiaye having cramp and Lindstrom being spent, then he had to change it. Couple of weeks ago he was hammered for not taking a clearly exhausted Tim off and we lost. Takes our best player off with cramp (who we can’t afford to get injured) and that’s apparently why we lost.
If the club was stable, he’d be gone. His personality isn’t a great fit, and the squad needs a reset. His repeated ideas will have worn very thin and when they stop working for the umpteenth time, players stop believing. Just the way it is.
But we aren’t stable and he won’t go yet. He’s made plenty of decisions that can be correctly used to criticise him. He is not getting the best from this squad (when all available), it’s not this bad at all. Neither did any of the last half dozen managers other than Carlo and they all got sacked, so will he unless things pick up when everyone is fit.
But, certainly online, split second individual cock ups that happen on the pitch are all his fault as well because “he picks em.” It’s understandable. Everyone needs someone to hate because Mosh is out of the picture.
I dread to think who would replace him next week. We are purgatory until the club gets sorted out.
