2023/24 Sean Dyche

[BlueToff]

Cocked up with the Doucoure sub.

But again, the main issue is that there's a total lack of gumption or know-how on the ball. Without that, we won't win enough games (barring all or most of the 10 points coming back) and Everton will, I fear, go down.

 

[BlueToff]

I feel now is the time to roll the dice and get a new manager in. Better to do it now than with us needing to win 4 games in the last month

Don't think that would be sensible at all.

A) there's literally nobody to make that call
B) Dyche and the team have earned 31 points
C) the underlying metrics all trend in the right direction

Dyche's issue is his main weakness is in possession and controlling games that way and he'll never, ever have that

 

[Blue Smoke]

Well we are very Burnley like now, most definitely.
Defensively tough to break down, physical, score mostly from dead ball situations, very boring to watch.
We all know what happened to Burnley in the end.

The real concern is how much we rely on Tark and Branthwaite and that partnership is highly unlikely to be one we will have next season.
He relies so much on the older players and their time is coming to an end.

I think its very legitimate that some on here, including myself, believe he as a manager needs to improve massively on his tactics and attitude to the modeen game.

With what money? Who’s going to step in for 11 games, with uncertainty on points and club ownership

For once BlueStevie you're talking absolute sense. We're up against it and Dyche is our only hope.

I agree this is probably what saves him.

Don't ask him, he'll say Neil Lennon which is why I've got him on ignore.

I reckon there would be a tonne of managers biting your hand off for an 11 game cameo in the shop window

 

[Terrarian]

The points off will definitely skew perceptions and we are further away from danger but not having it that a manager can't be questioned about stuff in his control.

We're much harder too beat but we're just not scoring goals and it's painful to watch. He/We are on a very poor run of form, it's only right questions are asked about his management.

It won't do anyone any good sacking him now as the clubs a mess and at least he knows what the situation is. That doesn't mean he can't be scrutinised over poor performances, bad tactics and bad in game management.

With. What. Money?

 

[degsy]

Results are okay overall (lower mid table results with a lower mid table team). The football is dire though and we're not a Stoke or Burnley who will want to sit through that every year just to stay in the league.

He looks better because of how bad Lampard was and the fact his teams are solid and compact.

One Game at a Time / baby steps ?
Up to now, given the shiz show he took over, i'll give him an MOT - but with more than a few 'advisories'

 

[Charlie Sweet]

Don't ask him, he'll say Neil Lennon which is why I've got him on ignore.

Ha ha love it. We just need someone better than Dyche full stop.

 

[Charlie Sweet]

With. What. Money?

Relegation will cost a lot more than a short term contract for a new manager though.

 

[Blue Smoke]

It could be argued that it was the 10 point deduction that fired the team up to get the four straight wins

 

[BlueStevie35]

Relegation will cost a lot more than a short term contract for a new manager though.

We don’t have an owner, much less a full board plus the cost of sacking him. Let’s not forget the big elephant in the room that technically we’re on 31 points and 11 clear of the drop
