2022/23 Sean Dyche

[tommytowne]

Remember when our aim was the 7th place trophy.....now it's the 17th

We genuinely were in a league of our own that season we finished seventh.
Thirteen points ahead of eighth but six behind sixth.

Hope he makes them all cry

Did you notice the little smirk as he said that?

Last tent standing

Tbh I think mines still there from 1999 … I was so wrecked I just left it there

Half of your mind and a piece of your liver is probably still there too

Yeah, this week includes the 'Gaffers Day' part of his pre-season routine

Just reading that made me go and have a lie down.

I'm not a huge fan of Dyche, but I'm genuinely starting to feel sorry for him.

We currently have a squad of 24 players, which doesn't sound too bad until you consider that Lonergan, Gbamin, Gomes, Maupay, and (and I feel bad including him here after recent revelations but with his clauses and his recent form he belongs in this group) Alli are five of the 24, combined with Holgate and Gray who are strongly linked with moves away, DCL who we all know isn't going to stay fit, Dad's army Coleman, Young and Gueye (maybe a bit harsh on Gana) who realistically will only play a portion of the games and then players like Mykolenko, Keane and Godfrey who are a bit rubbish. That leaves only 10 players that I haven't commented on and none of them are anything to write home about (barring maybe Pickford).

If we really aren't going to sign anyone for any real money I fear that Dyche has been given an impossible task.

Hard to disagree with any of that

 

[woomy]

You think this year will be bad.
Imagine the money we will have to spend next summer, when the old codgers are too old and more contracts are up.
Next summer could be a world of pain.
Better get finding those bargains, and quick.

Proper rugby league session that. Except with them it lasts about 2 weeks.

Which is why I am a fan of his
He'll get on with it and not throw his toys out of the pram

He will have known all this before taking the job, im pretty certain the finance's would be a massive part of the interview and he was happy to sign his contract.

Yeah but at least the older players are part of the team and on shorter contracts.
We have improved massively on previous years when we have had numerous squad and fringe players not getting near the squad and on big money.
