Tony’s Carp
Player Valuation: £50m
"Before my time here" just doesn't wash when he is taking us backwards not forwards- the yardstick for him is he achieved 48 points last year, a good performance which got him half a season of credit, but we are nowhere near that pace this season. If he could get us 48 points despite all the "before my time here" issues his regression this season is unforgivable, it's the trajectory over the time he HAS been here that should get him the sack.Didn’t mind his appointment. Thought he did an under appreciated job at least in terms of keeping the players noses pointing forward last year. Was happy for him to grind to the end of his contract then shake hands.
If we’d had Vitor and sacked him tonight, I’d back Dyche to come in tomorrow and keep us up confortably.
But for all he’s had to put up with, he’s still trying to solve the same issue that was there “before my time here.” I think the players are with him broadly, given the fight shown in the 3 draws. They have no professional pride of their own.
But 2 successive first halves “we weren’t on it”. His sort of one dimensional messaging has clearly just run its course. Players just can’t hear the same thing every day for 2 years, especially when it stops working.
I think a fresh Dyche could come in and keep us up. Current actual Dyche after 2 years banging the same drum? Not for me.
