I admire your energy to argue this topic with @Neiler
Personally I think him staying on with a remit to transition us into whatever is the least likely outcome
1. Most likely will be two seasons of keeping us up and boring and annoying us like he is doing now. If we somehow have money in...
What do you mean by this really tho?
I accept we are currently utterly crap and as such have lower expectations of possible outcomes for a couple of seasons assuming this squad isn't changing much
How should I actually be thinking? And I'm not having a go
I understand the argument during the...
And that's fine but what me or you want is one thing. I want us to win the league
What is possible is what I guess is really being discussed, and I think bar a few posters on one "extreme" or another I think majority would be more on the level of expecting say 35-38pts and hoping for more. I...
Over 45 would’ve had us pushing top ten last season
You rate this current squad waaaay more than me if you expected 45 at a minimum, and way more than majority I’d say.
I havent seen anything in us for a long time to suggest we are about to be a guaranteed top ten (or close to ) side...
I think they are trying to ask you what points total would you have expected at start of season, to how many you think we should get from here or should have gotten based on what we saw in the games so far
Might be wrong
I think it's normal that many think so little of our squad right now that their only expectations in this current season is that we be a bit better than previous one and hopefully not be bang in the middle of the scrap
What's the point in holding them to the yardstick of the 80s for example...
Whether they deserve it or not
And whether it's a big small or middling factor in this terrible run
I think some of the drop off in performances from players who were playing "ok" could do with this rest period now and hope some of the come back more energised.
We only need the needle nudged...
If we can afford it yes. Yes simply a better manager and also knows how to work with a situation like this so it's a clear upgrade for me as much as I don't like the way he left us
In normal circumstances no, but in normal circumstances I wouldn't have been happy with dyche even getting an...
I don’t worry about playing in lower leagues , it’s more the prospect of administration and other disasters like ending up not owning the new stadium having just left our historic old home. I think a lot of fans are ignoring how precarious it all is off the pitch
It’s in that context that I...
I reckon because under his “set up for a draw/hope for win” style he values more what a player adds in defence and discipline than any of the other qualities we hope to see with the replacements.
It’s dull, but the club won’t care so long as we stay in the league
I think it’s because his only instruction from the club is keep us up, and he is doing it in the way he thinks is best which is set up for a draw and hope for a win
I don’t think he’ll deviate from that unless we are in bottom three and need to really force the issue. It will be the same next...
