2022/23 Sean Dyche

Raspy voice apart, Dyche is quite impressive.
Time will tell if can can get us to safety and on Saturday in a weird way he possibly has the best possible start.... absolutely zero expectations , as long as we are not crushed against Arsenal it won't seem so bad and it will give him a chance to look at players that stand up to be counted and those that hide.

Even the first team selection will be interesting.

What is most disappointing is that he was only brought in after we played maybe half a dozen games where we should have earned even as little as half a dozen points... which would be massive.

Forget the transfer window.... this is where KT is most culpable in my opinion... leaving a manager in place that was not fit for purpose... as nice a man as FL is.
 

To be fair to the guy, first press conferences, especially when taking over a team in disarray, are all going to follow a very similar format.

For me, as far as his management style goes, his best chance of succeeding to any extent with this squad is to adopt the Mourinho-esque "us vs the world" mentality.

Implement a no-nonsense style and defend it to the hilt. Vociferously back players without question and dish out the praise where it is due. This is where I think he can make a difference, and I will be interested to see his future pre and post match interviews to see if he does it or not.
Great post
 
1/ "It's easy to take the wheel of a ship in calm waters, but not so much when it's choppy waters...I've got to earn my spurs, because I know I'm a bit of a marmite manager anyway...but I'm willing to put the hard yards in."
Loves a mixed metaphor.

2/ Nowhere in that was the question put to him whether he can keep us up, and he didn't volunteer commenting on it either.

3/ Undercurrent there on Calvert-Lewin. I dont think he's that impressed...which would obviously represent a huge problem. Has he had a falling out with him already I wonder.
 
Even If he’d have come in as late as after we lost to soton and if we’d have got two attacking players in then I’d be very confident we’d stay up.

He will get us organised and hard to beat, but ultimately our downfall will be we don’t have enough people who can score goals.

Even a Danny ings/ Chris wood and a half decent wide man and I’d be confident he’d get us out of it. In our current state I just can’t see how we get enough wins. Once you factor in Dominic Calvert-Lewin fitness, demarai gray picks up knocks…God help us.
Pretty much this.

I have faith in th manager to get a better shape to the team and stop being such an east touch, but the lack of attacking options is going to prevent him doing his job...which I say is getting us safe rather than being here for a promotion tilt next season.

Never change, D

Twice he chose to answer questions about Calvert-Lewin by downgrading his importance.
