Gilbert..
Player Valuation: £50m
The points deduction was a godsend for somebody like Dyche, especially coming off a relegation escape that went even closer to the wire than the Benitez-Lampard season.
The less pressure and expectation, the better.
Nailed it.
And tbh i didnt mind that or him last season. The whole points deduction. Rchard masters thing. It was perfect for him to thrive on.
The difference this season he's expected to get some more results. The pool of relegation was bigger last season. We did the double over Forest. They've kicked on. We need to find those 6 points elsewhere. We never really had anyone breathing down our neck last season beneath us. We cant really rely on 3 teams being worse and having that pressure taken off.
He needs to find wins and goals in his set up and tactics now rather than others not being good enough.
Thats why i think we're in a bit of trouble.
I hope im spectacularly wrong.
