Why is the bar set so low for this guy ? Love to be in his shoes given some of the leeway extended here
2 goals in 5 games - blame the board
Lose 4-0 with a second half capitulation - blame the board
That just tells you how low it was with Lampard. We are doing better on the underlying statistics, despite the fact that the opponent in 3 out of 5 games has been very tough, and we look like a football team again. If we had managed to win 2 out of 5 football matches from the beginning of the season, then relegation would not have been an issue.
That's where we are now, but thanks to blind faith in Lampard, it may not be enough. Without a solid striker, or offensive attacking threats at all, Dyche will have to overperform. Unfortunately, I think we will be relegated, everything else will be a positive surprise. And you don't have to be a rocket scientist to come to the conclusion that Lampard was in the job for too long and that we should bring in a striker in January. Quite a few people on the forum said that quite early on.
