ask bill
you think tho our board are even thinking of sacking him tho mate? are they ef
Losing football matches doesn't seem to hurt him to much.
He seems to quick to move on to the next match before getting to the bottom of what went wrong. He has a calmness about him that borders on arrogance.

Whilst I do think he's taking some steps to improve the balance & fitness of the side, he often bleats on about 'instilling a winning mentality' into the side to 'foster a more positive culture' around the club. Based on yesterday, I think that may well be his biggest challenge yet..
If you ask me, they already looked defeated within minutes of the game starting when they were getting carved open at will. They really didn't look like they fancied a fight & scrap for 90 minutes...

from the first seconds the players didn’t look like
he’s made up with himself like , you only have to see his prematch press conferences for that
I'm starting to see why his Burnley teams tended to have appalling starts to the season
He hasn't prepared the team for competitive football matches. Despite all the talk about fitness levels, we are miles off the pace.

Was massively against the appointment in January. However towards the back end of last season I believe he earned a fair shot but after yesterday I’m really not sure that was as bad as any performance over the last 2 years. The Keane obsession is strange and he talks a good game in regards to mentality but I don’t see anything that replicates his words on the pitch. I could accept the forward issues if we were solid but we look far far from it.

The whole approach to pre season was just odd for me, it didn't seem enough was all a bit relaxed and in the first 2 games so far we have looked a yard or two short.
Think it would be unfair to direct that question at Dyche to be fair. We need an overhaul. Now whether you'd back Dyche to lead a massive squad turnover is another question, but this is why you need a competent Sporting Direct / DOF running things.
So it looks like we can add Villa to the ever growing list of away games we have to just write off as a defeat before kick off. The mentality of every single person at this club stinks to high heaven, it is a toxic club.

The basic set up is there to support the limitations of the players, I get that.
But there seems to be a stiffling of any individual creativity or adaption from the players within it. Are they scared to do anything because they are rock bottom confidence wise or fear Dyche's wrath? Either way Dyche needs to sort that out. The first goal, 2 lines and Diaby picks it up between them and is allowed to carry the ball without those lines breaking rank giving him free reign to control the attack whereas if a CB steps up he's blocked, or a midfielder chases down he's at least put under pressure.
On one hand Dyche has only limited options but that's the hand he's been dealt, cope with it. I truly believe that Sheffield, Luton and Wolves are worse than us. I think that we're on par with Fulham and Forest. We score a goal against those and we get points. We need to be getting points every game against the bottom half teams and shutting up shop against the top teams.
Losing to Fulham was bad, but we created enough to gave won it. The performance yesterday was disgraceful. Get a striker in. Work on the team's confidence, and get back into it.
It's super easy to call for Dyche's head and if he went tomorrow and a better coach came in I would not think it unfair, but he'd be carrying the can for the rat's next of incompetents above him.
So I am backing him and the team. This club has shown itself to be a big club over the last 2 years by its fan base pulling together and putting us over the line. We're going to have to do that again.
Come on Dyche, give us something to get behind. UTFT.

I kind of alluded to this the other day when I made a comment about them treating the first four games as an 'extension of pre season'. Dyche very much strikes me as the type of bloke who's decisions & actions are firmly rooted in more 'long term' thinking.
At Burnley he firmly believed that a strong finish was better than a strong start and I think he's trying to apply that here.
His demeanour really really winds me up to be honest.

I remain a believer but I was tested yesterday.
The oceans of space for Dinge; allowing Villa to play dangerous design plays time and time again from corners;
the lack of width that allowed Digne to bomb up and down all afternoon; the lack of a plan and Keane playing ahead of Brainthwaite.
And for me the most serious; playing Maupay ahead of the new lad from Portugal.
Maupay is a shocker only trumped by the madness of paying Deli Ali 100k a week after 5 Spurs managers had rejected him!
