Points back bounce today, West Ham aren’t good especially on their travels.

2-0

Myko to keep Bowen quiet, boys in the middle do their job and Beto gets us the winner - simple

Bowen has more goals from open play than the whole of our team this season....

Hoorendous, really horrendous!

Ironically we`d have more points if we`d conceded more and scored more....

Probably. But it’s good to see that Dyche is finally willing to actually change something.

No change in the engine room to support Beto let's see COYB

Imagine if Beto scores.

Imagine if he doesn't score

It's more there's no player in the team who can unlock the strikers. Onana is the only one who can play a progressive ball forward and he doesn't do it enough, Jimmy is a sideways merchant and Doucs is just chaos .

This is also true. Beto needs through balls, and we just don’t play them.

A consistent run would help too though.

Our peerless defence to keep another clean sheet and Beto to score from two yards...via the crossbar.

 

[Shibbywiggles]

Well! I got my wish of Beto starting with the midfield trio of Garner, Onana, Doucoure…
Let’s see how that works out!

Someone who plays for the through balls better suits our counter attacking team than a player who wants to hold the ball up looking for support who is more suited to a more possession based side.

Seeing both Coleman and Patterson (ignore Young for now) on the bench just illustrates how weak our squad is. You don't need 2 (3) back up right backs.

Great move dropping DCL for Beto. Even though I think the latter is a carthorse the fact he's in the squad means he has to step up when DCL is so patently out of form.

I'll be honest... I don't understand this post.

3 fullbacks on our bench

Ah

Fan pressure getting to Dyche then. Beto will carthorse about, get an early yellow, spoon the ball off his foot every touch, and get subbed off at 55 mins.

With West Ham's defensive record I reckon there'll be plenty of crosses. Beto's height and presence will be handy weapons and he surely can't miss as many sitters as DCL

Plenty of crosses by our wingers who can't cross.
