Definitely. He gives me confidence that he sees the problems and starting to plan for a longer term. His experience was no small part of the reason we survived. I was really worried that the pressure was going to see our players melt yesterday, especially with Leicester winning. That anxiety kills players, it exhausts them and then they start to hide. No one wants the ball. I think his composure was outstanding and clearly the team was absolutely focused. One other thing that I have to say has been abundantly clear since he came here (and a pop at the Lampard regime) is the teams fitness has improved 10 fold. i'm really impressed with how we finish games often stronger than the opposition. No weary legs at all (which is surprising when he makes so few subs). Would love to see some stats of the last 20 mins of games since Dyche has been manager compared to Lampard. I think that's been a major difference.He is absolutely not one of the people we need to get rid of.
We need his pragmatism for a few more seasons.
It’s not great, but it’s not terrible. Especially given the unbalanced squad he was working with.1.17 PPG
He'll get the window and will start the season but unless that number rises we will end up back here before long.
We’ve just escaped by the absolute skins of our teeth yesterday.You think constantly flipping from one doom monger narrative to another every time it’s ultimately wrong goes unnoticed? It doesn’t.
Leicester Won the league a few years ago, Leicester also got relegated yesterday. Only a fool would rule anything out.

That extrapolates to 44-45 points. Enough for 11th/12th this season - which I would settle for next season.
We’re a good fit forward and 2 good fit fullbacks away from a decent enough team.
If we get that then we’re an upgrade on Iwobi and Doucoure away from a very good team
44 points will never send a team down.Yeh doesn't take us down next year, but it needs to exponentially improve otherwise all those teams below us spend and overtake.
44 points will never send a team down.
I obviously want us to do better but we need to be realistic about the mess we are in. A bit of stability until the extra revenue of the new ground kicks in.
Why he plays Maupey before anybody I will never know.Simms scored against Chelsea and never really got a look in. He played him in the hard away games but not at home in the more winnable games. Is Simms good enough, probably not. But why are you playing Maupey before him given how they were both playing
We’ve just escaped by the absolute skins of our teeth yesterday.
Hardly a day for the naysayers who predicted we would survive to be giving it large with the I told you so’s.
Need more than that I reckon
Striker, fullbacks, cb and atleast one winger is an absolute must
