2023/24 Sean Dyche

[JLW]

If the transfer window closed right now with no more incomings or outgoings then his squad (when all fit) would look something like this..

Pickford
Virginia

Patterson - Tarkowski - Branthwaite - Mykolenko
Coleman -------- Keane --------- Godfrey --------- Young

Garner --------------- Onana
-- Gana ---------------------- Gomes

McNeil
Doucoure
Dele
Harrison ---------------------- Danjuma
Iwobi --------------------------------- Gray
Dobbin -------------------------------------
Beto
DCL
Chermiti
Maupay​

Is that enough to see us safe from relegation?

If we had a manager with something about him and a style of play then that gets you halfway up the league.

But that's not the entire game. That's the catalyst and we should press higher...but when we had the ball they were awful for 60mins.

Straight from the off you had Keane under hitting a back pass. Godfrey slicing clearances or running the ball out of play. Myko scared to cross the half way line. Everyone's touch was atrocious with Onana and Doucoure looking like baby Giraffes.

Did you see when Garner over hit a simple pass down the wing to Danjuma? Stuff like that doesn't help whatever tactics you want to impose.

You could've set up that team to play Tiki-Taka...they wouldn't be able to pull it off.

You could see the last 30mins how we dominated the game, hit the bar, post, scored 2. Passed it better, kept the ball more. Mainly because Gana settled the middle IMO.

You realise that Dyche has been responsible for coaching them for the past 8 months? He doesn't just choose the formation and choose the starting 11. If they can't pass properly or position themselves then that is partly down to their training. It's weird that your whole thing at the moment is that it's all the players and what is poor Sean supposed to do. He's supposed to coach them, that's his job.

Would be down in the mix. The midfield is shocking. Only McNeil has something off the cuff to offer.

Dyche got very lucky last night when Beto came on and changed the game, up to then we looked absolutely dire again. He looked his typical lost self when Doncaster scored with not a clue what to do. He will not change his style of play and the way he manages a team cause he simply does not know how to. Very poor manager indeed who will go down in folklore as being as bad as Mike bloody Waker.

The last time the team could pass as a collective was under Silva.

Been 4-5 managers since and passing a ball consistently has never been something the team has been successful at.

The core spine of the team isn't a passing or ball controlling for years based on not having any foundations.

However, still doesn't stop them making simple passes which last night most of them couldn't do. That's been the case under Carlo, Benitez, Lampard.

Overall we go round in circles every season with it. To me the only one that got it right with the squad is Ancelloti. Pragmatic, defensive, direct, quality in the right areas up top.

Anything else has never and will never work IMO until we get a ball playing CM and balance with the fullbacks.

The thing I noticed was Pickford ignoring his demands to hoof it and dyche getting very frustrated on the touchline.

Doucoure isnt ever going to improve his passing. Under any manager. We bought a yard dog who will chip in with a goal now and then but he's part of the problem. Sadly a big problem with all of them.
We dont seem to find quality of any kind in midfield.

 

[Hadders]

He is getting on my tits in interviews when he says he tells new players to enjoy themselves and no pressure.

 

[Rodebaard]

So, defending at corners. Just let them cross from wherever they like? Is that the plan?

Its weird, its like the players are not taking any notice of him whatsoever. Mad to say but could he have lost the dressing room. He comes across as being very arrogant indeed so perhaps they cannot be arsed anymore listening to his substandard instructions.

For the 1st 20 minutes I thought the players were very poor. Should Dyche of told them to sit tight suck it up 100% Keane pass to Pickford sorry you can't coach that, that's natural ability. As the game progressed it was more apparent how clueless he is. Beto coming and Gana steadied the ship and instilled confidence. If we loose on Saturday then he needs to go end of. There are no more excuses!
