Another failed managerial appointment. If they really wanted Dyche he'd have been installed the day after Lampard was sacked. Stinks of several failed approaches and them turning to free agent Dyche as a last resort.

The outdated footballing philosophy that defensive play is sensible won't go away. And I get why it comes up. You aren't out of a 0-0 game and you can steal it. Which is why Dyche finished 7th once. Some years you'll just get the slight edge and win more than your fair share. And then other times you win 4 of 30 and get sacked. I'd prefer we stopped playing for the coin flips. Koeman, Allardyce, Carlo, Rafael, Frank and now Dyche would all be that same way of trying to do it.
At some point you need to try and control games and actually be capable of outplaying opponents. Only really Carlo, who abandoned it after about 10 games, and Marco Silva have really tried in recent years.

Exactly this, we need a manager whos going to get us playing football again. We might go down either way, but we should at the very least go down fighting.
A common misconception football fans seem to have is playing ultra defensive football the entire season is pragmatic it's not in fact Carlo played super defensive football when his preferred players were injured instead of finding a more balanced solution despite the mounting limitations and that found us beat regularly in the second half of last season by incredibly mediocre teams. Frank was basically playing what dyche would implement in a general sense it would probably be more structured by like I mentioned it other posts teams cant setup like that on the regular as opponents have developed ways to unlock those defenses that sit back for entire game. Brentford can adopt a defensive approach but they rarely go extreme like dyche or pulis. Thomas frank to me is a true pragmatist as he knows that an effective attack is essential to winning the game not the strategy in the simpsons where homer was a boxer and he just sat there getting pummeled until his opponent got tired and collapsed that's basically dyches style snatch and grab desperation style we need to be able control some games not even fluid flair play but just some competent balanced football

The improvement would be our transition defending which under Lampard was pathetic. I have no clue if he is even capable of coaching something unique in an attacking sense but at the very least it would be nice to not concede 4 goals to every team with a bit of pace on the counter. I don't know if he can keep us up but who would at this point? Hopefully if we appoint him the board tell him he has to implement something resembling a decent style of play otherwise I fear he will not last here long. The basics of his style, the hard tackles, the fierceness, the work rate, are all good and he's certainly better than Lampard by some distance but this is a better squad than he has ever had so I expect them and him to manage that accordingly.

I think Dyche’s tactics, especially playing long balls to DCL through the middle, will be a welcome change from watching Gray deliberate on the left wing before trying to take on two defenders by himself for the better part of the game. But it’s been so stale, I’m ready to see anything different happening out there.

God, i hope not. Dyche is a very likeable guy, but if he is it, i have no doubt we will go down.

if it is this feller, then one thing I would feel hopeful about is holding onto a lead. It must be six or seven times this season we have actually gone ahead in a game, only for Lampard to balls it up by not holding onto it. I have no doubt that if Dyche came and we went 1 up, he would rearrange the etam to defend that lead at all costs. That may not be pretty, but that would get us out of trouble and that is all that matters right now.

The defence is not our biggest problem mate.
No, lampard won 6 games in half of the games dyche did and we lost that game as opposed to dyche being a good manager
What are you on about?
He was in charge of over 75% of the league games last season.
For him to of kept them up he would of had to double his wins in the league in 8 games. He would of had to win 4 games and draw 2 in 8 games.
He wouldn't of done that, he took them down.
