I'm no traditionalist, particularly, and I haven't been clamouring for the formation or the manager - but I wonder if the combination of Dyche and the players we have available means that 4-4-2 is going to click.
It's his preferred formation. He plays it in a simple, teachable way - and we have players that have played it under him.
I have also been wanting to see Maupay and DCL given a go as a pairing. I'm convinced it'll bring Maupay into the game more, and allow him to get on the scoresheet.
Maybe this is just my coping mechanisms firing into life, but I think this whole mess could work out with something as simple as Dyche's 4-4-2.
