I went out and celebrated last night, was with a couple of mates who were Leeds fans and they werent to downcast they had done their grieving a couple of weeks back.

When we were taking it all apart, we contrasted the difference in approach between Allardyche and Dyche, Dyche came in and even though we were awful - he immediately went about setting a tone and a standard - we were all bereft after the window closed and bought no one in - it was standard thinking to think that was it - we were relegated. What did Dyche do - he projected the narrative that there was more quality in this squad then they were showing, he dug deep into the well of this squad and he found players, he found performances, he found fight, he found leadership and found character. He was battered by key injuries - he found systems, he found varying formations, he found plan B's. Brilliant management. He got the best and probably more out of what this squad could offer.

Contrast that with Allardyche, who from the start at Leeds profiled himself as a genius - better then Pep etc who was up against it with a huge lack of quality, totally undermining that Leeds squad. Two games in after WHU he threw them all under a bus, publicly calling them all out - for want of a better words, rubbish. He loved the attention - it was all about him.

Lets not forget at one stage Allardyce was England manager, before he torpedoed himself.

My point is you have to look beyond stereotypes with Dyche, you have to look beyond the media profile you've been fed, of hard to beat defensive Burnley and look at what you just witnessed, what was achieved in the limits and skip fire of circumstances he was handed and the skills the man implemented, in what was the popular opinion a hopeless cause.

We're very lucky to have him - the consensus at the end of last night, the difference in staying up and going down amongst teams last night - who were equally as bad as each other was Everton bringing in Dyche.

If he wasn't here, in Aug - because Everton are morons - he wouldn't be out of work long.

Spot on (again).

Dyche is a mentality monster.

Never deviated with a good, bad or indifferent result or performance.

At a dysfunctional club like this that's an asset that needs to be cherished and protected.

The same Rogers who totally lost the leicester dressing room? He would need to be backed to guarantee him being fully invested. Was pretty obvious he stopped caring towards the end at Leicester, wasn't happy that he wasn't backed in the transfer market
 
binned lampard after the west ham away on the 21st of January. it was a loss of course.
managed by Dyche
Arsenal we won
leeds we won
Brentford we won
Brighton we won
Bournemouth we won

5 wins in 18 games. numerous draws, fine. (6 draws)

lampard managed us in the other 20 league games and we beat
West ham
Southampton
Crystal palace

3 wins in 20 games. numerous draws. (6 draws also)

Only Wolves scored less than us (34) with their 31 goals. Just some facts to throw in the cauldron and broil.
