I will stick by the view that Dyche would have this team considerably more effective.

He's gone, get over it.

Really poor tonight, wouldn't score if we played another 90 minutes. Watford are shite too. Can't blame Kompany, you lose your most potent players and given peanuts to replace them with, difficult task.

You'd have to qualify our "most potent players"

Wood?
Weghorst?

Come on stop being a snowflake

League 1 teams would offer more of a threat here. I just watched West Brom have 19 shots against this lot 4 nights ago

That is, of course, totally irrelevant.

I think people need to show a little patience.

His positioning is atrocious. He's constantly flapping around, tracks the wrong way for the goal, he's sliced multiple passes to opposition forwards. He's going to cost us far more goals than he will contribute with buildup. He is no Allison or Ederson. Best we bring back BPF then , Or Will Norris :D

We’re gonna have nights like this, this is a new team, that needs time to gel. We need to give them a chance FFS

Absolutely.
anyone who thinks our new squad isn't still under construction is deluded.
Watford haven't had to rebuild (yet), we are a work in progress.

This is just an elaboration of your non-answer. We all know why energy prices are going up, people are asking why nothing is being done about it. If someone asks, "why is this allowed?" the appropriate answer is not, "I'm glad you asked, now let me introduce you to the concept of futures markets." ...

It's good to understand the economic forces and the international political situation that has resulted in what is happening to energy prices. It may assist understanding and therefore assist with understanding what may be the best responses. I doubt there's any "morality" in ignoring these facts. ...

No one is pushing him out of the door. He has a year on his contract and is perfectly entitled to see it out. VK has just said that he won't get many minutes in the first team. in the press conference VK spoke favourably about Lowton, but he is 33 and will have to move on at some stage if he wants t...

The culture is all about people and habits.

I'd say it's about the club and its relationship with the town.
The staff will inevitably change, it obviously has to.

No way to treat a long serving player.
For someone saying "we need to keep the culture", he is doing a fantastic job of ending the sources of it!

The "culture" doesn't mean the personnel.
Ralph Coates is part of the culture.

Would be stupid to let Lowton go, if Roberts picks up an injury or gets a suspension then we would be in trouble. Lowton could still have an important part to play this season, you can’t predict injuries.

I guess we would use Egan-Riley or Vitinho.

You can't help but notice the tendency for recent threads on a variety of topics, either transfers, individual players or general club matters to descend into a slanging match between those who appreciated the Dyche tenure and those who couldn't wait to see the back of him. But there must come a po...

Different league, different qualities. Overall he was dreadful for us on the field.

I thought he started off OK but seemed to get worse almost game by game.
Perhaps the rigours of the PL were too much for him.

boatshed bill

Missing that split-second reaction time (IMO), can a player at his age get it back?

boatshed bill

Dubbed.

boatshed bill

I think most managers do this.

boatshed bill

The fascinating thing was that we offered higher wages by the sounds of it, and without doubt if he signs we stay up. Taylor had a fairly limp season in that position. Dyche did fantastic but the owners probably looked at him and thought his style is affecting the attraction of the club. Look at Ko...

Pretty sure those rumours don't make any sense. Are they suggesting that Kevin Long and Matt Lowton had contracts that didn't include relegation clauses? Or are they suggesting that they were both on £40k a week wages in the Premier League?

Would that surprise you?

We had 6 consecutive seasons in the PL - there has to be some credit to be given to someone. Lowton deserves his share.

I don't think posters (myself included) are ignoring his contribution

Lowton has been excellent for us, I can't see him getting game time though. His goal at Palace was one of the highlights of our stay in the PL

Been OK, hardly excellent.
Trippier was excellent, there is a difference.

Long and Lowton are rumoured to still be on 20-25k following relegation. For that kind of money I can’t see anyone picking them up.

As we are paying their wages can we force them to go out on loan?

Maybe, but Coady has been consistently good for Wolves.
Just seems a bit rash... or are Wolves skint?

Had to happen.
He was a bit "chalk and cheese" last season.
Best of luck to him.

I heard today that since they now have Nathan Collins Wolves are prepared to part with Connor Coady.
Seems a bit rash to me.
Is Collins really that good?

Shame we need to turn this into a criticism os Sean Dyche rather than look at the impact long-ball tactics have in the modern game. I think I'm right in saying it was used by Paisley or Fagan at Liverpool, but they called it something like "Alehouse??" and used it when things weren't going so well. ...

No. I said fans don't care how they win trophies. That's all. Can I ask why you support Burnley? Burnley is my chosen club. Has been for 60 years (not saying that matters particularly).

But surely the benchmark for any of those other clubs is to get into Europe to be considered as successful as us.

Or we do much the same as at Huddersfield and bring on subs to freshen things up.
We now have so many options.

They have had the advantage (over us) in a chairman who has a very large bank balance.

Will the long ball game come back in though when heading the ball is eradicated from the game?

I think so.
Liverpool play a lot of long passes, but few are to players' heads.

boatshed bill

Like most other tactics, it will come back sometime.
It will probably be seen as "direct" and a breath of fresh air.
