Re: With Hindsight

No formation changes would have done anything than lose the game. Too many players having a terrible day at the office. some of the stray passing was truly dreadful. It was an awful display from us but, as difficult as it is to watch, it happens.

We were utter crap though.

Re: Dyche!

I'm 49 and other than a couple of half seasons the football has been crap. I watch this bloke manage Burnley and beat the best in the Premier League on a regular basis.

Today was absolutely shocking but i wouldn't bet against us next week. Today was crap, really crap. The majority aren't though

Re: Toothless

If Dyche doesn’t fancy Vydra and Jay isn’t fit then he needs to change the formation. Them two clowns up front aren’t up to it as a pairing at the moment. Just play one of them up top and put another body in midfield to allow the wingers a bit more freedom. They are scared to death to go forward in...
