….especially considering what he had at his disposal.
He appears to have assessed individuals, concluding the likes of Maupay, Simms, Holgate and Godfrey were not good enough. He was even astute enough to eventually discard Keane in favour of Mina & Coady.
There was one post-match interview on TV over the weekend where he said he knows exactly what this team needs, ’it’s all in here’ he said as he tapped his temple. He’s uncomplicated and I think he has a very clear view on every player he has and what he needs.
I was surprised to see a number of players in FF yesterday but I expect Dyche is meeting with every one of them over the coming days to tell many that they are not in his plans for next season. I’m hoping Thelwell is given the boot, but Dyche will have a list of requirements that needs meeting & I expect it looks like;
1) A progressive and effective central striker (El Bilal Toure links this morning are encouraging). We wouldn’t be in this position if we had one.
2) A creative goalscoring wide player who offers genuine threat.
3) A left-back. I get the impression he’s not enamoured with Mykolenko, although I am hopeful young Ishe Samuels-Smith could be the real deal.
