2024/25 Sean Dyche

I'm a Dyche supporter for the meanwhile but that's an absolutely honking list of managers and he's 2nd worst. Very clearly a him problem when it comes to pre-season.

Interesting. So you'll see some of our wins as lucky. I assume some of the losses will be seen as unlucky then too, yeah?

Or does that not cover your bias.

If you consistently perform worse than the opposition and have hardly any attempts on goal… and defend for your lives… then yeah I would at your lucky to win… and if you play like that and lose, you get what you deserve , so not unlucky.

We are set up to ride our luck and hope the opposition can’t score and then kick a goal from a corner….
 
But if those subs had not been do you think the team could have held that together better ?
If no subs were made I think we may have seen the same result, I say 'may' because although several players were dead on their feet we still had a possession and outlet with N'Diaye and DCL on the pitch so it might not have been such a quick collapse.
The real issue with Dyche's game management is he did not bring off the exhausted players but did bring off the ball carriers/holders, effectively increasing the pressure on the tired ones.
Any manager worth their salt would have brought Garner on for Iroegbunam and Young on fror coleman, and then maybe Lindstrom on for either Harrison and McNeil. The latter two being knackered stopped giving support and protection to the tiring full-backs. Even bring on O'Brien just to shore up the defence and clear crosses.
His decision making has always been suspect but in that game it was unfathomable. He got schooled by Iraola in tactical substitutions.
 
Of course you are presuming that he will keep us up?
His record tells us that he is as capable of relegation as survival.
As well as getting Burnley into Europe once , he also relegated them twice .
His abilities are vastly overrated at times.
I think we have better players than Burnley. We just need to find a way to win.

It’s almost like what he spews about new players not ever being ready and persisting with his fitness and experience above all else nonsense is just that that…clearly his philosophy and what he does in preseason every year does not work.

All signs point to his comments, beliefs and managerial practices being utter bullocks
