I agree, I do think he's got a very high ceiling, the next 2-3 seasons will determine how high.
We have a fair group of players of an age were the next manager will be key in their development actually.
I'd say both Garner and Lindstrom are at that crossroads point in their careers - next manager is key to if they csn push on a level (Garner needs a manager who focuses on him playing a specific position and role, Lindstrom needs one who plays him in the right position and gets behind the lad).
Dixon, Armstrong, Tim, Chermiti all to varying degrees need to be trusted and developed in house not by loaning them out, need to feature and given a pathway of development into the side and 'rounded out' as players.
We actually have a core of young players with a lot of upside to them right now, given the very small squad it's time we started to integrate them better rather than haphazardly.
Take the Ipswich game, for me around 70 was the perfect opportunity to introduce a Dixon on the right or Armstrong in the number ten spot. But instead we just left on tiring players. 2-0 up in total charge is the time you see a lot of teams get minutes into a you g player to build confidence and belief, we seem to do the opposite and would rather bring a young lad on for 15 minutes when 3-4/0 down which imo does zero for developing them and more than likely harms them.
Just see how poor Ndiaye looked when we did that early season.
….mmmm, given our recent record and league position, I really can’t agree with bringing a couple of youngsters on leading 2-0 at Ipswich, especially Armstrong. Points are so vital and we’ve been flaky holding onto leads, I think Dyche was right in managing that finish. I dread to think we make changes and then quickly concede one.

Funny thing is though mate, Dyche made the exact same change which led to a collapse when 2-0 up early season, Ndiaye off moving McNeil wide and pushing Doucoure to number ten.
If we go with what you say then that will remain a permanent excuse for trusting experienced players over youth constantly.
Twice we blew leads this season by making the wrong subs, both times it was by trusting experience off the bench once and by not using subs the other - instead going with the experience on the pitch.
Could also argue that your post basically means Tim should sit out this season in e the midfield is all back fit...

On a counter to that also, we saw a familiar pattern emerge, in control 2-0 up, start to tire, fall back on ourselves, cede possession and try to scrape over the line, slow subs and only one used.
The net result was allowing Ipswich who should hsve been 4 or 5 down and were never in the game to get total control for the last 20 odd minutes, again at a better side that could easily have ked to another collapse.
Wouldn't it be refreshing to see a manager in that situation make proactive substitutions to maintain the total control we had and see the game out that way instead.
Put it this way 2-0 to us I don't remember any other team ever doing what we do and 'losing' confidence in how they are playing and resorting to trying g to survive the game
….i thought he did the right thing seeing out the Palace game, taking off McNeil and reverting to the axis that saw us over the line so many times last season. I felt his substitutions against Bournemouth contributed to our downfall.
I don’t mind progressive substitutions if we have players who look like they’re effective enough to impact the game but I’m not really seeing that with this squad. It’s not as if I’m desperate to see Beto introduced.

Isn't part of that how and when they are introduced though.
I'll admit when Beto say cones on I groan, because I know it's the signal we are sitting even deeper the number ten will drop into midfield and Beto will be isolated by 40y up front on his own and the only ball we'll play is smashing it long in the air to him.
Now is that the fault of the player or manager, I know who I thinks to blame.
Similarly say throwing Tim on in a deeper midfield role or pushing him back into one and he then struggles like in one of the 3-2 losses, is that the player or the manager changing stuff to the detriment.
Bringing Lindstrom, or any young player on when the games 3/4-0 down and the teams given up, good manager choice for a player on low confidence or will it actually harm them building confidence up. Ofc Dyche uses the 'giving them minutes in their legs and experience' as the cover, but it's stuff like that which damages development or building confidence.
Dyche for me has a massive ego, he likes to stick out his starting 11 and if possible win making zero real change all game as if to show that he got it spit on. Rather than manage a game react and improve the overall performance.
Can't remember no matter how on top we have been in Shane under him ever closing a game out positively, it's always the sane mate, the feeling that we are hanging on. Vs a better team than Ipswich I see that result going the same way as previous of them getting back into the game - it's just that they were one of the worst teams I've seen in a whilst.
Wouldn’t mind seeing play where Doucoure did on Saturday.

The little I`ve seen of him was very impressive. The swap transfer deal with Dobbin seems to be one of the few that we got right, from what we`ve seen so far. Hope he comes back firing on all cylinders.
Garner serious - back operation out for a good while .....

Tim unknown return date. Garner is starting to train again so prob 3 weeks or so back in the squad I'd say

Garner was v underrated in this team.
Hopefully Dyche will bring Tim back in as soon as he's fit. If he's worried about him at CM he should give him free reign at AM.
The highlight of this season was seeing him and Ndaiye playing together.
I thought Dyche said it wasn't as serious as they first feared on Thursday. Said he'd been tk see a specialist and it was just about letting the back settle down. Deffo didn't say he needed an op or had an op?
