It's the only way to describe 2013/14...

Yeah, it was good.
Think it was right to moan 3 home wins in 14. We still haven’t won a game at home under dyche when the opposition have scored. And of the 5 we’ve won. 4 have been against the the bottom 5. And looking a them, Burnley was a terrible performance, gifted the win by a keeper error, forest not much better, hardly created anything had an XG of 0.3. Brentford we had one shot on target. Shed Utd should have been 2/3 nil. Let’s not get to carried awayWhere are the home form and the not won in months warriors now?
Do you see how irrelevant arbitrary measurements are? It's a season's work as Dyche said from day 1 and judging him on that, he's done a great job. He's not just "done his job" because this season posed very unique challenges and many would have capitulated under the pressure.
Well done SD

72 points almost for sure gets you a CL spot this season.

I do suspect its says more about the overall quality of the league being low that season, but I'm happy for it to be said that Martinez finished even fifther than Moyes ever managed.

Tbf, up to that point 72 points would have almost always been enough for CL football

He did, but this is about the history of the Fifth-Place Trophy.
Not even Pardew did it with as much style as our Bobby, which is presumably the reason he never passed into Arthurian legend among Newcastle fans.

I looked at it and said we should be looking to get minimum 45 points. it was only 3 more wins than last season which was half done by Lampard.
I disagree about the squad.
Main outs from last season squad (of who was available for Dyche):
gray, Iwobi, mina, Davies, Coady, Maupay
Ins: Branthwaite, Gomes, Beto, Danjuma, Young, Harrison.
In my view, we have a better core squad now.
We also had a Mykolenko this season who wasn’t carrying an injury like he was all last season.
We have decent players in the squad, the lack of talent argument doesn’t wash. They may struggle to maintain form, but we have decent players who are capable of mid table.

I think somewhere between 11th and 15th was realistic. We have a decent 1st eleven, obviously better in the defensive part than the offensive, with a manager that sets up defensively.
Offence is still a problem, but it has been for years. Around 40 goals, it's better than the 34 we had last season, but yeah we can and must improve, I'm sure with 2-3 improvements we can add a few more goals again. Also, efficiency was a problem in this case.
Fair play to the staff to keep our key players injury-free for the majority of the season. That was very important and some credit for the load in training etc. Our depth is still not very good.
Not trying to sound depressing, but there is only 1 more game and then the window hunts us down, talking about what/who we have had available to us this season is worryingly a dead conversation in 90 more minutes. That main core of our squad, who are we really gonna see in an Everton kit again. and what makes it even worse is everyone knows what state we're in, so we wont even get near value on the sales...

Under Dyche, we are one of the best defensively organized teams in the league. And it is precisely in that phase that the manager has the greatest influence. Offensive is much more about quality and talent. So Dyche has no doubt done an excellent job and no doubt deserves a new contract.
