2022/23 Sean Dyche

[GrandOldSte117]

Have to say it was a fantastic plan but the lack of subs again was a dice roll.

Its a concern.

If hes learned from his mistakes and goes with building a team rather than experience/mates then thats all im asking for.

Get 4 pts more and lets see what happens along the way.

Mina could have a performance bonus in his contract that club were reluctant to pay given his contract. It's not as straightforward as we think sometimes.

 

[Sheedy's right knee.]

Mina is our best and most experienced Centre half. Has played for Columbia for a number of years playing some of the best attackers in the world in intimidating places. The intensity is uncompromising. If he can stay fit he is a shoe in for the last 4 games. It’s up to the manager but I would keep him, bring Braithwaite back in the fold. Keane, Holgate, Godfrey sold on and bring in another solid centre half and a good attacking left back.

Mina could have a performance bonus in his contract that club were reluctant to pay given his contract. It's not as straightforward as we think sometimes.

They may well have risked 5 games+ of not playing him and increasing our chances of relegation to save a few pennies.

Wouldnt put it past them.

 

[Furey1878]

We need one more win at least, hopefully we can grab it before Bournemouth.

 

[NilSatisOptimum]

Not convinced but I'm pleased with, what appears to be, the overall fitness of the squad...it may be our saving grace this late in the season if we can maintain.

Fitness will only be beaten by our survival as Dyche biggest achievement to date. Been something very wrong with fitness. Think Dyche is too much of a good man as to point fingers at what was going on previously. Improvements all round on fitness sharpness tiredness injury.

 

[Deulofeumygod]

With mina and Patterson we would have beaten palace and leicester.

 

[Paul Rideout]

@DualityNSNO - 85th min was it?

If we stay up this is going to be a big issue of mine next season

 

[Baggzio]

Survival was the job he was brought to do and that's looking like what he'll achieve. I know there's been some negativity around him as of late and he isn't the perfect manager but I see massive signs of encouragement not just from last night but since he's come in. Very clear that fitness is one of the biggest traits he wants to give players and frankly we were not fit until probably April.

A full pre-season, ship out some remaining deadwood and hopefully get a few reinforcements where we can and with players like Onana, Branthwaite, Patterson, Garner and McNeil all a year older with more experience I think Dyche could quite easily lead us to a mostly stress free season that we can continue to build off of.

He's got a proven track record for what we want to do and he clearly "gets us", we desperately need some stability going into the new ground and hopefully start to get back on the process of challenging for Europe again over the next few years, that'll never come with constant chopping and changing. He's a good man manager and clearly has the experience needed to deal with our basket case of a club behind the scenes, I think he's probably the perfect manager for us in our current situation quite honestly.

 

[Lanolin]

Kind of...but remember he was being asked the question by reporters, it was all over the media and in fans forums (like GOT).

He may have done it as a hail mary knowing what everyone was saying?

MIna and Patterson should have been starting weeks ago and for me, hes practically thrown 5 games.

Keep the same team next game of course but id like to see mroe of Garner and Onana together.


Pipe down.

It was clear to everyone. But him.




WOW thats pathetic journalism.

Absolutely tremendous this. Big Sean's Everton go away and marmalize the hipster's dream team and Zat reckons actually he should be the one to get the credit for moaning about Michael Keane on a forum.

 

[Cjplennon]

Can’t fault him on today - saw the light with Keane and realised we had a decent rb option to cover Coleman who isn’t a crap CB.

Looks like he deserves credit for his injury management of DCL as well, so fair play.

More of this please gaffer.

Yes, DCL looks fit! played very well, some lovely touches and showed his pace. Wish he'd got a goal that would have topped off a very good performance! Hopefully against City.

Yes, absolutely the perfect manager at the moment. Stability is the key if we stay up to avoid another season of the same next year, another change is a very bad idea!

Think 2 more points would be enough, will the other clubs run ins and our 2 point cushion, think we'll get 4 more points and finish on 36

Yep our fitness levels for years have been horrendous.. Players in fairness do look a lot sharper and fitter. McNeill running that distance on 96mins to bag it in the Top Corner is a testament to that.

Dyche I feel will never be loved here because he's too reactive. Can set the team up well but when plan A doesn't work there is two issues

1. No apparent plan B - which there is an argument to suggest that he has little to work with on the bench, so okay, can put that critique on hold until next season.
2. His reluctance to change things until 80 minutes if at all. That's really, really concerning. Forest away shouts out at how obvious it was going to be they'd equalise and nothing was changed. Again, could use the same argument in a lack of quality, but plenty of times he's had one or two on the bench who could freshen things up.

Was spot on yesterday though, but as someone has said, no subs for so long was a complete gamble.

 

[andy4efc]

Think 2 more points would be enough, will the other clubs run ins and our 2 point cushion, think we'll get 4 more points and finish on 36

All four of the teams involved could end with no more points or 3 more points. Nothing is obvious. Out of the four we probably have the kindest run in, in the fact that Bournemouth is at home and they'll be on holiday. Wolves will be tough but they'll also have relaxed and City is City.

Leeds have Newcastle Home, Spurs Home and West Ham away.
Could easily come away with that with zero points or 3 draws.

Leicester have Liverpool H, Newcastle A, West Ham H
Exact same again. Could see them getting a result against West Ham but if Liverpool fancy it and Newcastle turn up then you're looking at a max of 3 points for them.

Forest have Chelsea (a), Arsenal (h), Palace (a)
And again, could easily be 0 points for forest. Chelsea finally won a game and hoping they can run through again and get the job done, but it is Lampard so who knows. Arsenal need to keep winning and Palace will be on the beach which is a problem, but they're playing well and will want to finish it on a high at home I'd imagine.

We are in the best position of them all probably, just have to get results against Bournemouth and Wolves. Four points I would imagine keeps us up.

 

[Toffe3m4n]

Pickford

Coleman - Mina - Tarkowski - Mykolenko

Iwobi -- Doucoure -- Gana -- Onana -- McNeil

Calvert-Lewin​

This 4-5-1 (or even a 4-2-3-1 variation) is, for me personally, probably the best side we can field between now and the end of the season, assuming all of the players are 100% fit & available.

Whether Dyche sees it this way or not (he probably doesn't) I genuinely believe this is our best chance of picking up points in these last six games. We should only be utilising the likes of Patterson, Keane, Garner, Gray & Simms off the bench and just punting Maupay, Holgate & Coady completely.

Swap Coleman for Patterson (forced because of injury) and Garner for Onana and I was deffo on to something here lol
