I Back Dyche To The Hilt, But He Got It Wrong Today

[Nonayforever]

The reason that he would be doomed is Burnley has no chance of breaking into the top six ( just the same as any other team ) and fans being the fickle creatures that they are would make that known.

He ( Dyche) won't be offered another job as that has become patently obvious this season.

The secret from his point of view is to keep the carrot dangling and show a progressive track record.

[Spiral]

No offence but that's complete and utter nonsense. I'd give both my testicles to see Burnley finish 7th in the Premier League every year for the rest of my life. I'd just adopt an orphan or something if it came to handing them over. In fact, screw it. Who needs kids?

[Nonayforever]

I too, would love to finish 7th every season, that would be a dream come true for me and quite a few fans, but I don't think that would wash with the majority.

What's up with you whingers?

We are missing our best
goalkeeper
fullback
centreback
midfielder
winger
and striker

we drew with Man City last week.

Time for a review of expectations.

SD told me we were a bit off it today.

Absolutely.

There's another thread showing us winning the 4th division championship at York. I was there that night. And what a night it was. I also watched us get spanked by the the likes of Halifax, Darlington, Chester and f****** Telford.

If some body had then told me where we'd be on the 10th February 2018, with Gawthorpe transformed, with millions in the bank, owning our own ground, not needing the Golden Gate to buy David Reeves, with a fully fit first choice 11 of internationals, with the best young English manager in the country. I'd have have said, "where do I sign?"

We got beat 1.0 today. Fair enough. Take a step back, look at the bigger picture, look at the progress, be proud as punch.

Then smile......

Narrow and park the bus like we're a Conference team playing at Old Trafford in the FA Cup. That Olsen fella had the freedom of the pitch, didn't have to do any defending, camped in our half. It's the same guff as last season, sit in deep and welly it anywhere to isolated front players because the wide players are playing as secondary fullbacks.

Why are we sat off teams like Swansea? they're just as sh** as we are, go at them, push the team up the field, if we lose, so be it i'd rather lose while giving it a go and trying to win.

shite Swansea who have just beaten Liverpool and Arsenal then put 8 (Eight) past Notts County midweek

For what it's worth the happy clappers are more of a pain in the arse than the doom-mongers. Doom-mongers just want a better football team. Happy clappers seem to be stuck in the 80's.

Bolleaux. Happy clappers are stuck in reality.

Better to be stuck in the 80s, than up your own a***.
However, thanks for the pin-sharp analysis.
Congratulations ! You're my new favourite idiot!

We should be expecting to play well and get something at Swansea with the team we put out, regardless of who's injured or who we played last week. It's perfectly possible to be satisfied with our trajectory and our season as a whole but disappointed with a poor performance and result against a poor team today.

[Andreshotboots]

Untouchable manager needs to hold his hand up.. never tried to won today and lost to an average side at best, we looked like a league one side playing hoofball and created fk all

[Andreshotboots]

We must be the only team with injuries.. facts are we haven't won in 10 Games, and barely looked like winning.

[Clarinetclaret]

Yeah like that's the norm. We should be taking the game to teams like Swansea not sitting back like we're a non league team.

[taio]

Anyone bothered to consider whether there might have been a positive reason for bringing Arfield on?

Like, for example, he's the best player in the club at making third man runs into goal scoring positions?

Hard to see it as a particularly positive change, especially when Arfield tends to be used against the best opposition when shape and being solid is most important

[claretandy]

Dyche is hoping that the 2 week break gives us the chance to get injured players back, but correct me if i'm wrong but the only 2 with a chance of being back are Tarky and Wood, Long has done nothing wrong so a change for Tarky won't necessarily improve us, and wood, will need game time so i would expect him to only make the bench. The time to improve the team was in January.

[bumba]

Dyche is talking rubbish an making up excuses if players are feeling the effects why not change it up weve enough quality in the squad yesterday to beat Swansea.
Dyche chose the same team, same tactics and negative substitutions.
Only 3 of the squad maybe 4 if you count O'Neill too weren't brought in by Dyche so its his team and signings hes no excuses

[BurnleyFC]

Best way to describe you would be fickle

Fickle?

Well I’m 36 years of age and have had a season ticket from the age of 7 until I was 18 and joined the army. I left the army at 23 and have had a season ticket ever since.

I’m just finding football in general less and less entertaining.

If that makes me ‘fickle’ then so be it.

Maybe a good time to change your user name , hummmmmmmmmmm Fickle could be a good one

[jrgbfc]

Why is there the ridiculous view on here that if you criticise anything Dyche does it makes you less of a fan? Yes he's done an amazing job, doesn't mean he hasn't got things wrong.

[Woodleyclaret]

Spot on OP taking off our aerial threat and our two creative players and bringing on Arfield and Wells and playing for a draw was stupid in the extreme.We needed pace so GK should have been on for ineffectual Hendrick with JBG dropping into cm.Three points thrown away

[watsonsclarets]

Happy Clappers View (not my words)

Look how far we have come it better than Scarborough on a Wednesday night.
I have been watching since 1930.
Look at the injuries
Year on Year progression
Swansea just beat Arsenal and Liverpool at home and put Notts County to the sword with 8
We have one of the lowest wage bill and everyone predicted us to get relegated so anything else is a bonus.
Dyche can do know wrong and is above reproach.
We should follow no matter what is served up and be thankful.



Other view

We where 4th therefore we should be able to compete within that field for top 6.
Crap January injuries where there then but squad was full of the below.
Wasted money on player that simply do not play and are not good enough.
Boring football-organized but hardly gets you off your seat.
We should be signing young real quality players who are not proven but a gamble for 20 million because we have the cash!


My view

As i have said we are in the bottom 3 for paying wages we lack real technical players in the terms of the prmeier league but we make up for that with heart and effort and our club is light years from where it was 5-10 years ago.

The football we play is out of nesseserty because we do not have the players to play another way and this is the manager preferred style. My son does not want to watch us because he says we play a boring way but he did enjoy Bournmouth away and asked why we do always play this way.

It a tough one is the transfer business, can we afford a 20 million pound flop I'm not sure we can!

Opinions, hey mine is we are overachiving but yesterday that was crap and yes i did enjoy Hereford and Northampton away back in the day....

A midfield of Cork, JBG, Lennon and NKoudou? Blimey.

[Safron]

Hard to see where next win will come from after today's performance. I for one thought going 442 was the way to go but maybe going back to 451 is best suited with Westwood in there

The man that makes no mistakes, usually makes nothing at all.

Personally, I'm glad that when Sean Dyche makes mistakes, he's making 'em as manager of Burnley Football Club.
