Re: 2 years without Dyche.
Dyche’s side was steadily improving through potentially to 2020 but then it stalled due to lack of investment in the squad. We stopped picking up home wins and that was crucial to us. The game after we won at Liverpool we beat Aston Villa 3-2 at home. Since that game we’ve won just 8 out of 48 home...
