2024/25 Sean Dyche

Hoofball is one thing. can be used effectively, but not with Donkey, McNeil and Harrison around.
The problem with hoof ball is it’s effective about 1 in 10 games! Maybe today it works then the next 5 games it doesn’t!

You can’t and won’t get consistent playing that way because it’s percentage football.

It’s pure muck is what it is

The way we do it mostly, yes. As I said, you can use hoofball effectively, like Bournemouth.

I get that we don't focus on possession and base on solid defense, still I wish we played a bit more expansive. Would have used the Harrison and Broja loan differently...
 

I think you're mixing up "wanting to play for Dyche" with "wanting to earn 50k+ a week"
Well this is another one of those 'Dyche out' examples isn't it, lose its because of the manager, win and it's because of the fans. Player signs for the club and it's because of the wages, don't give Dyche an inch.
 
Would you have liked to watch a good few years in the championship or maybe league 1? Thats where we were going.
I am not actually overly concerned which league we are in , I enjoy watching football even if it’s just on a park pitch.
I am far more interested in watching a football match where two teams actively compete to control the game. I enjoy watching midfield battles , intelligent football , good defending overseen by a tactically astute manager able to influence the game.
I enjoy watching football where both teams are attempting to win the game by playing competitive football.
Under Dyche we attempt to steal the game and spend 70% of it cowering in our own half .
It’s beyond boring.
It’s embarrassing.
 

Are you using Dyche’s performances away at Anfield and the Emirates as evidence that these teams are beatable, then using that evidence as a stick to beat Dyche with for not having a go against them?

We should be aiming for a top half finish not 17th. Without the points deduction we’d have been 12th last season, is that closer to 10th or 17th?

‘that we accept Dyche’s nonsense’

We’re in a very privileged position now where we can all write holier than thou posts about how we won’t tolerate the football aesthetic, his selections, his press conferences etc. Wasn’t that long ago we were begging, BEGGING, for someone to come in and save us from the drop.

It’s thanks to Dyche’s nonsense that there’s a premier league club left for everyone to moan about 24/7. You can all bid him good riddance this summer from your hipster high horses after he’s delivered a mid table finish, turned Branthwaite into a 70 mill pound defender, cut the wage bill, reduced the net spend, got rid of most of the dead wood from the squad, and left the club in an infinitely better position than when he found it.

I’m sure there’ll be top clubs queuing up for him when that time comes.

Depends on your definition of 'top clubs' mate. I would argue he's at one now. Will the likes of city or utd come in next? Unlikely unless he wins a pot or finishes in the upper reaches of the league. I tell you what though, those clubs whose objective is staying in the league long term, will be queuing up for him.

There would probably only be a club if we stay in the premier league.

We are not a top club mate. We are however, the biggest club Sean Dyche will ever get near.
