I wish one journalist would question the impact of double gaffers day on the amount of injuries we have when he starts trying to use it in his favour.

Decision won't be taken by Thelwell ultimately, and while Dyche is still the manager the DOF and everyone at the club are going to defend him in public, no one is going to undermine things.
Doesn't mean Dyche couldn't be bulleted on Monday morning.

I enjoyed the bit where he said its a head scratcher why we've started so badly....ignoring he has a horrific managerial record when it comes to the start of every season.
Same as last year when it was just 4 games, then 5, then 6, then 10, then 14, and it wasn't a problem then. It won't be a problem now obviously.

Which is poor on face value, yes.
I just don't think we are at the stage yet where we should be arguing we are in huge trouble.
If we had started the season with a fully fit squad, didn't look like we could score and we were a bit further down the line then I'd start to warm to that perspective but at this moment I'd say we are in a nervy position but not huge trouble.
The ten game marker is when I would consider us to be in huge trouble if we are still muddling at the bottom.
Bournemouth last year lost 7, drew 3 and won 1 game in their first 11 and still finished on 48 points. Sometimes it does just take one win to set you off on a little run, which we have seen with Dyche and Everton in the past.
Until that game though (if it even happens), I think we have a right to be nervous but huge trouble is for a few weeks yet.
What else is he going to say. Considering Thelwell didn’t want dyche in the first place. And things change very quickly in football management
Come on are you seriously believing this nonsense that we have a depleted squad, everyone is going on like we have 5/6 of our best players out. Apart from Branthwaite, is much of a muchness. Is garner a huge upgrade? Ndaiye has been fit and should have played every game, so that’s on tbe manager
Right back, again all 4 have pros and cons,
Had all 4 been fit, Coleman or young wound have started all 4 at Right back

Isn't part of the job description of a DOF that he takes over the running of the first team as interim between managers.
Handing over to the fella who looked at Beto and thought yeah lets get him signed up.
I used to scoff and laugh at Everton being the worst run club in the world. But we are. I dont even think its debatable.
No - caretakers are usually coaches that remain/reserves/youth team managers. Like how we've had Dunc and Unsworth as caretaker managers.

I think Branthwaite, Garner and Patterson would all be starters. Plus yeah? A squad is not just the first team but having fit bench options. We know people like Tarks have been carrying niggles too.
