My point StA is that Dyche was ready to persist with other players when they were shall we say underachieving or lacking consistency, when it came to Vydra it was almost like he couldn`t wait to drop him, I don`t think Vydra is a world beater but he isn`t the liability that Dych and some on here see...

claretgimmer

It might be the case that some players have chosen to run down their contracts, some haven`t yet been offered which I think is probably the norm given our position but players like Vydra who didn`t come cheap, and hasn`t in my eyes been given a fair crack of the whip is never likely to sign another ...

claretgimmer

That`s fair comment but Coyle/Howe had a degree of flexibility on how they set the team up, Dyche is detrimentally rigid in his approach, it`s the lack of invention, initiative, creativity and flexibility that for me has contributed to our present position as much as lack of investment.

claretgimmer

IMO Dyche will be judged at the end of this season when if what I feel is the inevitable relegation happens who he keeps and if he decides to give some of our better U23`s a chance to prove themselves at Championship level.He needs to revisit our coaching and tactics, we need to keep a degree of exp...

I`d be tempted to play them both, Roberts as the forward attacking player due to him being for quicker and skilful than Lowts but not as good in defending as Lowts is.

claretgimmer

Not even bothering with scores. I feel now the number of out of contract players who believe they may get offered new contracts if we`re in the championship next season and won`t if we stay up is affecting certain players performances, woeful management, woeful team selection, woeful tactics, woeful...

Once of a time a player lacking confidence in front of goal would play for the reserves to try and find their touch, maybe McNeill needs some time in the U23`s, we need his creativity but he has to be better than he has been in front of goal.

Pope 4 Roberts 4 Taylor 3 Tarkowski 4 Collins 3 Brownhill 3 Westwood 3 Lennon 6 Weghorst 5 Rodriguez 4 McNeill 3 Cornet 7 Barnes 4 Well that was as shambolic as it gets (I hope) unfortunately the players who we know aren`t premier league standard were woeful and the ones who I would consider average...

Pope 9* kept us in with a chance Roberts 5 reality check tonight Tarkowski 5 didn`t seem to be as effective in the small move right to left Mee 6 His absence showed how important he is to us Taylor 4 needs more time to get fully fit Lennon 6 A bit of the old Lennon, worked hard huffed and puffed a l...

Maybe the reality of a hugh wage reduction or not being offered a new contract has given a few the wake up call they needed

claretgimmer

9`s all round + Jay Rod, would have to really nit pick to differentiate after what I consider to be a complete team performance. At last I think we are seeing some fight in our dog, just it`s not to late. UTC

Not necessarily cheaper tickets though. Some of the Championship clubs charge more than £30 for away fans.

Exactly what went through my mind, will miss the seaside away weekends unless Bournemouth don`t make it up, I don`t count the donkey lashers before it`s mentioned

Did nobody go to matches before it was all seater, fans mixing in the beehole end wasn`t an unusual occurrence and there was very little trouble and that was at a time when hooliganism was prevalent, stewards are a waste of time in the situations described, just really a token gesture. Personally I ...

I think most people who have played football would agree that there are times when a player is backing into you that it is a natural reaction to raise your arm to protect yourself which if this is going to be automatically given as a foul then where does it stop especially when the player backing in...

Lowton is at best a championship quality full back who has been having a purple patch, he is good in the tackle but he lacks pace, his advantage over Roberts is he has experience at this level, however his distribution this season has been mostly poor, Roberts will only get better with experience an...

I went to the Longside upper turnstiles from the beehole lane end and saw the queues at the turnstiles near the CF end and joined a queue of about 6 people at the opposite end and was in within a couple of minutes, as people say indicate upper and lower turnstiles then just use the ones with the sho...

Loads of courses, depends on what you want to pay for a round and on what day ie midweek/weekend, check on their websites most courses should be in good nick in June, I`m a member at Rossendale and we`re not that far out and reasonably priced.

claretgimmer

Pre match drinks in the Oxford were done to a good sing song so there was no doubt the fans were up for it, the ground was fuller as the teams came out than usual, we were ready to go for it, but even sitting in the longside upper away from the weather the quality of the football sucked any enthusia...

Is that fact or supposition taio, it makes sense but doesn`t mean it was included unless you are in the know

So Dyche is bulletproof, if we are relegated and doing crap next season in the championship he still can`t be touched because he will only be two years into his 4 yr contract and would still cost millions to dismiss when we have even less financial resources, so League 2 here we come then at least w...

Grew up with Pete, played cricket and golf with him and he was a true competitor, his success at cricket didn`t really come as a suprise because he was always good beyond his level, he was a character no doubt and as has already been said taken far to soon. RIP Wooders

claretgimmer

I personally don`t think we appear as fit as we were, age has taken it`s toll combined with Dyches style of play we seem leggy after 70 or so minutes, it`s only to be expected but the big difference between Prem players and the rest is speed of mind and sharpness in reaction to situations and in tha...

Just to digress slightly but if we do get relegated would attendances drop as dramatically as we think because maybe most matches being at 3.00 Sat plus Tuesday/midweek night games would certainly be more of an incentive to go and to be honest I personally find the Championship football just as ente...

Covid has made everything feel like hard work when it comes to football. The postponement of the leagues, empty stadiums, I then bizarrely felt a bit ‘footballed out’ with the daily televised matches - it was hard to keep up. Then there was the whole whoo-haa with the Black Lives Matter stuff. Euro...

claretgimmer

My concern is who is driving the new transfers regarding the type of player we are looking at, if it`s Dyche then he will want another big man or does he do an about turn in his philosophy and go for the smaller pacier type of player in which case is he and his team the best equipped group to train ...

claretgimmer

Sorry but I don`t see how a manager whose team selection and tatics have produced only 2 wins in what is it twenty odd games is somehow going to produce a string of season saving results in the next 4 months or so with a squad of players who look less than interested compared to previous years.

claretgimmer

Our problem is Dyche`s mindset, I agree with the sentiments of buying potential from a lower league club who would probably settle for less than the top wages we pay but Dyche always seems to default to old has beens journeymen because they`ve already played at this level, but the team doesn`t evolv...

Must be financially richer teams, apparently that`s why we`re where we are

Just watching this match and what a good match it is, apparently the commentator mentioned that the Hull team is worth about £15 million, so how does their manager get them playing good well organised football with such a cheaply rated team when our team costing tens of millions produce such crap ye...

claretgimmer

Never said big backing, but maybe more backing than he has had, however my point is the way he has invested what backing he has had

claretgimmer

He may not have had as much backing as he would like/require but continually just bringing in aged workhorses without any creativity is coming home to roost, he needed to be a bit more speculative with young players from lower league clubs and I`m sure they wouldn`t have commanded the wages his sele...

Which manager would allow players of the quality we need to come to this shambles, no chance, agree with what we should do but won`t be holding my breath

Roberts in future please Lennon 4 did what he has always done other than M...

People are saying Dyche has earned the right to try and bring us back if we go down, well sorry no he hasn`t, he`s done a great job that he has been handsomely paid for, now he is being handsomely paid for inept management techniques, his recent record and performances doesn`t suggest he should be a...

claretgimmer

Well he has to back the manager. He needs to ensure that we get some strengthening too. Whether that's a loan or a new perm deal it doesn't matter but we need actually a RM and probably a CM although I think k Stepehens may be able to play more of a role. We need some support out wider though and i...

Given that our organization during our time in the prem has been a mainstay of our ability to compete at this level, if we can`t rediscover that trait it doesn`t look good, and for what its worth Shearer is spot on

claretgimmer

Not with this management team, I have never seen us so bereft of ideas, organisation, and determination , having so many players out of contract definitely doesn`t help but even with new faces Dyches head is so far up his own arse he won`t play these straight away it`s not in his DNA and unfortunate...

In previous seasons when we have been down here I personally have looked at the players and thought yes we have enough to get out of this and at the manager and thought he will turn it round, sadly I don`t see or feel any of those things now and so do we just sleepwalk into the championship or does ...

I really hope Pace doesn`t give Dyche a transfer budget in January, better spent paying off his stupidly offered contract and getting fresh eyes, fresh ideas and maybe a manager who might get us to play a modicum of football because I for one won`t be renewing whilst Dyche stays in charge, there`s o...
