2023/24 Sean Dyche

[Nymzee]

If we’d have gone down by a point or goal difference would the critics be saying ‘it literally couldn’t have been any closer to the opposite’. No, it would have been a binary outcome, which it is, we stayed up.

Thanks for that completely irrelevant post. Swear you're just chatGPT.

Dropping Keane and putting Garner in the middle has been what a lot of fans have been asking for.

That only happened due to a last-minute injury in the warm-up, though. Dyche was planning on using his repeatedly-failed midfield formation.

Cant imagine just how insufferable he'd be if he managed to do something even slightly impressive

I hope he slurps a worm live at the post match press conference/interview if that ever happens.

It was unfortunate but we started the game extremely well, looked good, didn't take our chances and then conceded two goals from set pieces. We have actually put in three really good performances this season and I can see a team taking shape. I am much more optimistic provided DCL stays fit. I think you are far to quick to blame the manager.

If I was quick to blame him it would have been after the Wolves match. I'm mostly indifferent to him but that Luton result was awful. No shots on target in the second half...

 

[Amokachi1995]

It only really matters that we’re safe in the league by the end of the season, doesn’t matter where the points come from. Fans need to get over the ‘embarrassment’ of one off games depending on the opposition. It was an opportunity for three points wasted at home, that’s all, we don’t need to demand a manager is fired because it’s Luton. Barcelona in their absolute prime lost at home to Hercules once with Royston Drenthe playing, it happens, even to the very best.

The real stat here is that 7 points from 8 games isn’t good enough, but recent form has improved with two league wins in three, that upward trajectory needs to be maintained. If we’d lost to Brentford but beaten Luton we’re arguably a worse team than a team capable of winning away at Brentford but people lose their head over the embarrassment of losing to Luton at home.

It's the Luton match compounded with the home losses to Fulham and Wolves. The Brentford match only cancels one of them.

Hopefully we get a surprise win somewhere else.

It was bad but football is very rarely predictable. Even the best Moyes and Martinez teams threw in some really bad performances out of no where. I feel like the start of our season has been very disjointed because of the lack of a striker etc. but I think the team is finally starting to take shape and I would expect results to improve. We have some decent footballers in the side now that can actually score goals/create from midfield. The aim is to finish above 15 this season and I think we have enough to do that barring injuries.

Luton was probably the most disappointing result because we did have attacking options on the pitch and on the bench.

In the first few games we simply did not have any striking options.

I think we have the first team to stay up comfortably, but accept we are susceptible to few key injuries, particularly at centre back.

God I hate Dyche. The audacity of him. 7 points from an easy as you can get run of fixtures. 3 of those points against comfortably one of the worst teams I’ve seen in Bournemouth.

Let’s see how the XG prick does in the games coming up. Honestly I hope it’s a slice of humble pie for me but I doubt it.

One sunny day and all of a sudden its summer again.

Time and time again isn’t it. One win against a garbage team, a week after we were beaten off a team not much better, and it’s all rosey again. Some will never learn.

You hope we dont win some more matches? Strange
