It's going to be selective to a degree because I don't have access (nor the will) to go through every game to show you consistent examples of Burnley playing on the front foot. This is the best I can do given limited highlights (goals). I don't think it's excessively selective though - as said, I've shown you a stretch of about 8 games, half of which Burnley scored as a result of a positive, forward thinking high press - certainly something most fans don't associate them with. Not sure how else I can demonstrate that the 'dinosaur' claim is false outside of this broad method.
Re: the excuses - I think it's unfair to say they didn't progress the playing style - lots of technical quality added into the side like Defour, Tarkowski, Westwood, Brownhill, McNeil (form fallen off a cliff for us but Burnley played to his very strong left foot).
The constraints above him should be taken into account though - they had zero cash and a board reluctant to sign off on foreign signings (because they saw them as riskier - ask your mates what they think of the Burnley board pre-takeover). Eventually that board was replaced by ALK Capital, which then allowed Dyche to bring in Cornet and Weghorst from abroad. In this context, I think he has demonstrated that he's a very good coach.

Welcome to Barcelonaton FC
Sure a Burnley fan came on here and said his control over everything and stubbornness with the players turned a tide against.
He'd been there 10 years. Things like that happen. When it's time up it's time up.
Wasn't it his number 2 who came in and got them back on side? They also had a couple of games in hand and a short window to play them in.
I think the thing with Dyche is that he would only be appointed as a short term manager with the view of keeping EFC in the PL and potentially keeping EFC out of a relegation fight next season. But clearly, he is not the man to take EFC forward. EFC needs a progressive manager that will excite the fans and attract exciting players to the club. The dilemma for the Board is do they go for the long term manager (which may actually be impossible to appoint in the current situation) or go for the short term fix of getting Dyche in to play dreary football but picking up enough points to avoid an away trip to Rotherham next season

The fans needs to pipe down on the criticism of the new manager until June. Their role is to shut up or express their raucous support until the season ends. We cannot indulge egos right now. We're in a survival battle.
Table for four booked at the KFC in Mayfair London booked today at 1pm under the name ‘Sean Dyche’.
10 years is about as long a run as you'll see in modern football. I think it was inevitable Burnley would eventually have a season where they went down because they didn't have the money to invest in the players you need to keep moving forward.
Are you all in on Dyche?

Hoofball got us out of a mess in 94-95, then the season after we started to play better football. It won`t be an easy watch but is probably the best way to play us out of the mess we are in now. Long term I`d not want to watch it but if it`s the way to get us to stay up I`ll gladly watch it for a season or two.
We know the football is gonna be pretty crap if he comes in, but at least we won’t be under any false pretences like with Lampard.
Won’t have none of that foreign muck in the Sean Dyche thread, thanks.
