2023/24 Sean Dyche

[malacker94]

…oh dear, she died in 1989.

All his posts just scream: I'm a necrophiliac

FWIW that display today beats Man. United who are terrible currently so yes important to see the bigger picture and it's been a very positive October.

While possession doesn’t win you games, you can’t say 20% possession at home beats anyone that’s poor.

 

[Davideeyore]

My take on Dyche footy- he is calculated. He is by no means boring, but he will concede possession in situations like today where we were obviously a little leggy.

We tend to (not every game) be VERY direct (not necessarily in a hoofball sense) but we try to transition quickly. As a result he takes a lot of risks on the ball as opposed to sitting on it which is why our possession doesn’t always match our shots/SOT. He plays purposeful footy. I like that. It’s not always perfect or effective but we haven’t looked this exciting in the attack since Bobby Mr. 72 Martinez. I’ll take it.

That's the point. He's described himself as marmite. Fine, I dislike marmite (!) but I like Dyche. The problem is he really is Jeckyll & Hyde. He sets up in some games brilliantly and some games appalling. Some weeks he speaks well some weeks he speaks from his backside. I don't know about marmite, but
he's full of bull half the time.

His game plan was fine, and yeah, he’s dealing with a tough hand for the squad but I’d like to see a creative sub/change at times

Take Doucoure off, bring Danjuma on

Dont think danjuma would have helped tbh, doucoure does do alot of pressing ect for the team same with the wingers. Needed depth in this team but i just didnt really see much maybe patterson on earlier

 

[coleman=quality]

Not for me mate.

I mean, we've got to win some games at home. We've got to start some games at home with us going to win the bloody thing and win it well.

Dread to think for us to be relying on away games.

3 wins in 11 games.

1 home league win in 5 before today - Fulham, Wolves, Luton, Arsenal, Bournemouth.

Now 1 home league win in 6 - against very modest opposition.

Dyche is getting it wrong at home.

I’d of took a point but can’t disagree with what you’re saying.

 

[blulouie]

No it doesn't. Obviously the team that is losing is going to make more changes, because their plan isn't working and the winning team's plan is working.

That game was crying out for fresh legs and it's not the only game.

It was crying out for an out ball for the likes of Beto & Danjuma to relieve the pressure.

It's like we don't have a bench.

 

[blueboy72]

4points in a week in 2 tough games and in a Q/F, i would say that has been a good week, many may have thought we may get none

Yes points are good, it’s more the style and how long term it will eventually get dyche sacked. Imagine watching Brighton every week instead of watching what we’ve watched today

Agree i hope that we have seen things changing now, we have another tough game against palace away then united at home when again i would be looking for 4 points

 

[pedro789]

Decent point, esp without Onana and playing Wed.

He's got us organised which we haven't been since Carlo left.

We won't be an easy game for most sides and should be ok this year, sans FFP drama.

I think we're actually better than Dyche is allowing us to be, but that's his approach and it's getting results.

Games like Arsenal, today are hard to watch tho.

 

[blulouie]

…a huge risk bringing on Danjuma for Harrison who was doubling up with Young to cover their threat. Danjuma would’ve been watching the game from the pitch rather than the bench.

Its all good and well making substitutions but you can’t throw away what you’ve worked so hard for.

Danjuma should have come on for Doucoure.

Yet that's what we ended up doing. But a point is good as Brighton are no mugs, it's just a shame we couldn't hold on to the lead.

Dont think danjuma would help he wouldnt keep to the defensive shape. I do hope we can get more players in and we can see dyche using the bench more

 

[Eggs]

Problem is, we don't really have much on our bench.

Drop off from the first team is something that needs to be addressed in the transfer window

…let’s not forget we start the summer window having to pay for Beto and Chermiti.

Style only wins you points, if you have the players you want, Brighton you could say are a flashy side and can play that way. not sure if we are. Points are what we need now. You will get some saying a new boss will do better but havent people said that about each previous boss etc

 

[blueboy72]

I was thinking along the lines of replacing Young with Patterson around the 60 to 65 minute mark then maybe Harrison with Danjuma a bit later on, rather than waiting until the 90th minute to make a change. Mind you, Sean Dyche could've made those early changes and we end up getting beat, then fans would be asking why he made changes when we were winning etc.

So you’re not allowed to make changes when you’re winning. Do pep and Klopp know this. If your one tactic is not trying to conceade, then he’s not likely to make many changes. Burnley fans moaned about his subs for years. But If you’re a manager that wants to go and kill the game, when you’re already in front, then you make changes.
