We need point for sure. Honestly it’s as I thought it would play out, boom and bust.

You can go back to early season when we looseing, Dec when we were winning and right now when we’re pretty much drawing as a default.

I’ve consistently said it would be boom and bust and not get to high when winning and too low when not.

It’s playing out as I thought it would. Albeit the points deduction a wrench.

I stick by my predictions mind.
We'll stay up, and that was my only hope for this season, the behind the scenes, points deduction, shambles of the past few seasons etc. It's worrying though, hopefully we start putting in the back of the net soon.
 
3months since we last won a League game.

But hes doing a great job and is the best we can hope for......

I know this is a bit silly, but if those wins were spread out rather than all in a row, would he be getting the same criticism? He does annoy me as he is a bit of a coward in games

I want incremental progress if I’m honest mate. It’s about getting the fundamentals at the club right and trying to climb, 3-4 places every season from here. We need to run the anti virus completely.

Think injuries caught up with us a bit and a lack of depth over Xmas, players ran out of road for me, we also had a bad time with injuries.

I look at the Brighton and WHU games, with the, calling on 5 players from the bench to go out effect the game and get a result from those games. It’s a is a luxury the opposition has on us and it’s proved to be, arguably it happened in the City game to, we just don’t have the squad to compete with others clubs pound for pound on that in my my opinion.

When I talk of limits I mean the above. ;)

Points deduction has thrown me, but we’re still a team even with the above limits, that’s earned 31 points, that gives me confidence up against Luton and Forest.

Duals our entire club is full of limitations from top to bottom, we're an absolute basket case. This club deserves far better, but survival really is the current end game, and has been since the summer.
It is mate but we've introduced yet another one to the crop, and on top of that are currently in the process of making him 100% untouchable by making excuses for not winning games for 3 months, while he's in the process of turning us into Royal Blue Burnley.
 
No. We should have enough about us to be comfortable, yes, even with "these players", because of the level of the opposition. Not arsed about making excuses over and over again about outside factors.

Honestly feel your overly harsh mate. I think we’re the toughest job in the league.

What position and points do you see as being fair - if we have @ different manager at this point, obviously you feel 31 is too low at this point of the season.

I actually think he’d get more criticism. 4 wins in a row makes it look like at one point we were playing well and in a good run of form. The odd one here and there would end up just looking like luck.

Given how we had the easiest start of the season in ages and we still didn't win for about 2 months and now we haven't won in 3 - yes, we should've already been at ~39 or so at the very least, and I have no idea how that'd be deemed unreasonable.

THINK, its been about 4 seasons since Dyche last won a game in August.

You think another manager, who would want to come here, would have earned us 39 points with 11 games to go, so by extrapolation this squad of players is as as good as Brighton/Newcastle mate, this my friend is were we depart, not for me.

Brighton and Newcastle are massively under-achieving tho, hardly a benchmark.

And we have 25(31) points.
