2024/25 Sean Dyche

To suggest that one change is even 20% of the reason we go on to throw 3 goals away in 7 minutes is laughable.

The team switched off, they scored and at 2-1 the whole lot of them soiled their undies.

To suggest it’s because Dyche took off one player is mad. People saying it was due to tiredness and he should’ve made changes earlier might have a point, but even then, three goals in 7 minutes, lads?

Come on.

Making subs, freshening things up earlier stops momentum and allows us to control the game.

The subs he made were absurd

Took off the 2 players we had who were causing problems and getting us up the pitch

And left on the midfielders and full backs who were extremely tired and struggling to track their runners.

We also had 3 more unused opportunities to add energy to the side in the last 10 minutes.

It's bad in game management at any level of the game. You'll see better management at amateur level down the park tomorrow morning

We have no way of knowing if leaving Ndiaye on would've changed anything. It could easily have turned out the same and Dyche would be criticised for not going more defensive.
Ultimately its on the players for not tracking runners and closing players down.
Imagine the reaction bringing Young on would've generated.

This is why the subs lost us the game:

I agree and, like I said, you have a point in saying subs could have been made earlier but I don’t think that’s sufficient to lay the bulk of the blame at Dyche door.

For example, Doucoure, while out of form, has been one of our better players over the past 12 months and perhaps Dyche would disagree that bringing an experienced player on would be a catastrophic decision. Even if Dyche privately agrees with you that he’s an indisciplined Footballer incapable of playing a midfield role, it’s fanciful to think he should have foreseen the team conceding 3 in 7 minutes after Doucoure comes on.

No

A club with higher ambition than just surviving doesn't hire Sean Dyche

Moshiri did have higher ambitions tbf to him
did it the wrong way but he tried
Got PTSD from the Carlo divorce and went full 'he lives in the area'
It's been bad ever since, but that's only a couple of years with bad managers
Why are we accepting 17th as a successful position?
It's madness

Not tracking runners and closing players down.

Fresh legs. Concentrated minds does that.
