Ah right I get you - Wait and see on that, then. I don't care about him either way. I take everything he shares with a pinch of salt because there are a million different moving parts to a transfer and several differing motivations behind the info that is leaked out. Just find it odd the flak...

Has he ever shared anything that was complete bluster though or is this just cynicism for cynicism's sake? I recently subscribed to their patreon and some of the info is a bit wishy-washy and non-committal, but there's still some decent insight shared. The way I'd look at the situation is...

Further to this, anything he does disclose behind the paywall get shared by members of this forum or aggregators on Twitter etc. It all filters out eventually. Bizarre that anybody would get wound up by it, but I suppose that's what happens in the four days between signings during a transfer...

But if the manager is going to instruct the rest of the team to kick balls at his head all game, he shouldn't be picked ahead of DCL who is better at dealing with that. When you have a manager who plays to his strengths, it's a different conversation. Beto usually performed worse under Dyche...

Not expecting much from today, but Moyes always used to thrive when the squad was thin and we had limited options.

Brought in some good players, brought in some duds - as all DOFs will, a perfect hit rate over three years is basically impossible - but, for me, it's what he hasn't done that's the issue. There's been a need for many years to address the full back areas, and we've not come close to doing it...

I can't make it today so I'm about to put a single ticket on the resale portal. Top Balc.

It's weird that TNT managed to get it for the 12.30. I thought Sky had first dibs on all fixtures and would surely want the last Goodison derby.

If it is to be called off, does anyone have any idea when it might be rescheduled? Liverpool obviously likely to go deep in most competitions, so can't be too many midweeks open.

An early morning train with a load of Kopites then? Enjoy!

I'm looking forward to Dyche noticing it at some point. He should have come on in the ten position with Doucoure remaining deeper. Tim's got talent, but the midfield seems so open with him in it.

Don't agree with this to be honest. I thought up until their penalty we were edging it. The set-up wasn't the issue, I think the penalty gave Newcastle momentum and we never recovered/adapted (classic Dyche). But while the manager could have had more of an impact on the game, I do just think...

Branthwaite will obviously be a miss but it is only Newcastle we're playing, who are without key players themselves and haven't really got into their stride yet. If you check their forums and socials, they're not overly happy with their own back four, the midfield three lack creativity, they're...

I've had the same intrusive thoughts all week about Young doing the same. So mark Gordon down for two goals from the spot.

Really glad the manager took the time to bed in our new 17 million pound centre back...

How is a player who can barely last 90 mins for his club still making himself available for international duty? Especially after that last 15 vs Bournemouth and especially when we've been short in his position already this season. Oh and especially when he turns 36 next month.

Agree with all you've said but I think the question that was put to him was poorly worded. It didn't need to mention starting Michael Keane, it should have just asked why O'Brien didn't start. As soon as the journalist suggests Keane shouldn't have started over O'Brien, Dyche is jumping to his...

Which is good going into next week because I'd be doing whatever it takes to not start him vs Spurs. Hopefully Garner/Coleman will be ready or we at least move to 3 CBs and wing backs.

My most controversial opinion from yesterday is that he should have come on sooner. The 20 minutes after the red card where each of McNeil, Harrison and, even for a brief spell, N'Diaye filled in at right back was absolutely farcical. Obviously, in an ideal world, we shouldn't be resorting to...

Didn't we lose 4-1 at home in the first game of the 84/85 season? By that rule, one of the best proponents of NSNO would have been sacked. I know there's a world of difference between the two managers, but do feel there's a slight overreaction going on with yesterday. We were in the game and...
