Fully fit I would say this team is realistic to get 12-14 in the table. With a team being a bit better and having slightly more options in the attack + Branthwaite, we achieved 1 point less and already 1 win more than last season with 7 to go on a supposedly rather favorable programe on paper, but 3-4 for must win games remaining. That would be ok, but there is that big flaw with 1 win in the last 14 and 9 points in total. Surely this would be hard to do worse. I thought we would be around 1ppg till the Burnley game with the fixture given from Christmas on.
Hoofball is terrible to watch, but the ball treatment, passing ability and pace of our players is as abysmal. Or am I just spoiled as a Spaniard? In the end, Dyche won't be a long time solution.
Eventually, that 1:0 was important as it gives 10 points between Burnley instead of 4 with a loss, ends a terrible run for the moment, could be also a bit liberating for the players moral. I understand, we all want good football, but the result is more important still, than to win the beauty contest.
