2022/23 Sean Dyche

[hktoffee]

Lampard managed the team for more than 20 games lol

Oops!




im confused.



Correct.

So what. Martinez won about 19 games in his first season.

That does not mean Lampard was not crap he got 15 points out of 20 that’s why he was sacked.

Tell me how many ppg he gets at Chelsea right now?

 

[Cjplennon]

I’d live with a bit of destruction after a couple of titles and cups……..our successful managers took the hard decisions, can you imagine Dyche selling an Alan Ball, right or wrong, and it was wrong btw, but that’s the mentality we need…we’ve been too soft for too long and won sod all….

We are not winning anything, anytime soon. Perhaps some people need to just accept the reality. We are decades away from sucess and thats only if the current shower relinquish control of the club and then we get huge amounts of luck.

 

[pipling]

Lampards 25% gets us 29 pts over 38 game season, Dyche 35% gets us 40 pts. That's the only one that really matters

Yep the most telling statistic and remember Dyche has had no money to spend to build his own team.

 

[Blueclouds]

Tbf we are not jn s good place and we bees to stay up till the new stadium so having a safe manager might be the best option for us

I think the squad is the major issue. I see people advocating to sack Dyche and bring Potter in if we aren’t relegated. The question is, who amongst this squad is suited to his playing style? The squad is in need of enormous upheaval no matter who is in charge. Also, Potter has just had a nightmare at Chelsea. Is he a good manager? Or is the recruitment at Brighton just that good?

Potter with this squad? We’d be begging Dyche to come back by November to dig us out if a hole again.

Whatever happens this season Dyche is the right manager to stay. He can bring a team back up if needed, or he can build a bottom half team into a top half one. Let him steady the ship for a while.

 

[brieverton]

Absolutely the right guy to stay and a lot that can go against the club in the immediate future. The fire-fighting will need to continue. We desperately need some stability where we can find it.
In any case, go on an extended bad run and his head is on the block anyway. He knows that. Just has to find more ways to continue to keep the wolf from the door.

 

[Saint Domingo]

The away mentality under him is probably the best I’ve seen in recent times apart from that period under Ancelotti where we won everywhere during lockdown.

Outside from that it feels like it’s been ages since we could go into an away game and occasionally actually take the game to the opposition, or come back from being a goal down.

 

[Houghty19]

We need stability and like it or not he is probably the best available at the moment to give us that. Like has been said earlier if we go down he's probably the best suited out there to bring us back up and if he keeps us up I really don't see an end of season dogfight next season, let's face it if lampard had been sacked before the world cup and dyche brought in we would probably be safe by now.

 

[RomanReigns]

Turned Michael keane into Ashley Barnes against wolves in the last 10 minutes

 

[Saint Domingo]

Turned Michael keane into Ashley Barnes against wolves in the last 10 minutes

Rather him causing havoc in the opposition box than our own.

 

[4737carlin]

He turned Gordon into a £45mil player.

Argue against that lol

Gordon isn't a 45m player, nobody turned him into one, we got 45m because of how well the sale was negotiated

 

[witchdoc187]

Stevie. G would work wonders with this squad. Born winner and a blue too.

 

[Marius57]

I wouldn't take any notice of the Dyche haters when 90% of them worshipped that Tory divvy Lampard.

Saying that he'll need to show better in game management next season especially if he gets to strengthen the squad / have better options on the bench.

You realise that Dyche loves Maggie Thatcher right? Just for when you keep implying someone shouldn’t be our manager for being a Tory.

 

[allen]

I've been curious for a while about what our 'chances of staying up' would look like plotted on a graph encompassing the whole season, so I made one:

(Data from FiveThirtyEight).

So we sacked Lampard at the absolute nadir.

The recovery certainly hasn't been linear, and it's felt that way. Though the trend is clearly broadly positive, mid to late April (Fulham loss to Newcastle loss) certainly looked ropey.

That huge spike after that is the Brighton game. Just goes to show what a colossal result that was.

Some of the oscillation under Dyche is presumably because results are more consequential late in the season, as time is running out, but it's still pretty wild I think - and there's little evidence on this alone of the sustained improvement we'd all have wanted when Lampard was sacked.

Still, as long as we creep over the line, that's ultimately all that matters this season.
