Much as I love SD, I’ve always thought substitutions are his weak area - he never seems to want to change anything.

Re: Europa League dilemma. What will SD choose to do?

I think SD has made it quite clear where his priorities lie, so I’d expect plenty of changes. Not really what I want to see, but plenty on here would, and I think the way things have gone so far may well have convinced Dyche that we can’t compete on two fronts.
