Re: We’re down, let’s throw caution to the wind

Think we can pick up enough points but needs another team to collapse... Brentford or Leeds probably. Dyche is very good. You can't fail to be impressed by what he says and the players seem to respond.... other than throwing one in against Norwich/newcastle/Watford. His squad is limited and its only...

Re: We’re down, let’s throw caution to the wind

There's only so many times you can say the same thing to the same players. Great performance today and in the last few games but even dyche must be losing motivation. Don't see any point changing before the end of the season because nobody would get a better tune out of this squad but its time for a...

If crouch fits the profile of what we are looking for, the profile is wrong. He might turn out to be inspired but that'll be luck not design.

I presume we got him as part of some government scrapped scheme when we traded in vokes.

Absolutely the case that the players have lost heart. Sean keeps saying we can't compete. ..in so many words. It's then hard to then convince them that they can. Many realise that they've peaked and it's down hill from now. Less then 30 and you're never going to be as successful....not easy to take....
