Re: Average crowd next season

If we have a decent transfer window I could imagine home fans of around 14-15k, obviously the number of away fans will vary. Possibly maintain this if we are challenging at the top end of the league.

If we have an average/poor season I'd expect home fans to drop to around 13k.

I will always respect Dyche and appreciate what we achieved together. But just 3 home wins under Dyche since January 2021 is a serious shocker.

Westwood has been 100% more effective than Cork this season. Cork would be decent back up but that’s an area I’d definitely strengthen. Replace Vydra with someone who Dyche has a little more faith in too.
