It’s a catch-22. Dyche is doing well in terms of getting points, which is the first principle of football. We are a limited team without any brilliant players and he has got us organised.
The flip side is that tbh I do think that there is probably a better manager out there that could do better with the team. They aren’t completely terrible, and aren’t helped by Dyche’s style tbh. Giving up possession all the time is not only a horrible watch but is our own downfall at times. He does nothing to develop any of the younger players, and seems very short term in his thinking and limited when a few players are out or plan A fails.
My biggest issue is I don’t see how it gets any better. It’s fine being happy about battling draws and wins for a while but it’s not football I want to watch long-term and Dyche doesn’t manage any other way.
I don’t want to turn into Burnley where he’s doing well enough not to be sacked but the football makes you want to gouge your own eyes out most of the time. Even they took the hit and went down, Kompany might not be the best manager in the PL but it’s a lot better to watch.
