Another promoted teams showing us how football should be played . We have stagnated . Not good enough by the board Dyche or the players. Pathetic.

Of course, overseas scouting could help, but in this country, we are left with what other clubs don't want - because if they did want them, they would simply double our wage offering. Wolves have players on 90-100k. What do we have - 40-50k?
We can afford more we made a hefty profit... we just aren’t willing to spend more.

Overseas scouting is an absolute must but Dyche isn’t interested what so ever. Transfer market is a huge limitation for Dyche and our board.

It’s looking very likely we will be playing in the championship next year anyway.

The plan B was Vydra, but when every player bar Hart and to an extent Hendrick has been solidly 3/10, it’s a total irrelevance what change you try to do.

The players look like a totally different set of players to the ones we watched last season. Taylor and Bardsley being your full backs is a large part of that as they are a million miles away from good enough.

Plan B was try and stay up with what we have

Plan B isn't working

If I were Dyche I’d be bringing on Adama Traore at this point. Sadly, it’s Wolves doing it instead.

Dyche whispering into Woan’s ear, something along the lines of “let’s hoof it up to Vokes and pray”

Possibly agree with A, but leaving Lowton out for Bardsley, and playing with two cart horses up front isn't down to the board.

Mee
Ward
Lowton
Cork
Barnes
Wood
Lennon
Gudmundsson

To make them all so much worse than last season - it’s chalk and cheese?

The problem is, the parachute payments will only last us so long. Maybe they're happy for us to bounce up and down, but that is a big risk to play,

Exactly our problem. If the extent of our ability to make a change is Westwood for Hendrick, it’s simply not good enough at this level.

Both have done OK this season but if we are being completely honest, their good enough isn’t good enough for this level.

A midfielder and a winger were an absolute must in the summer, despite plenty of claims that the squad was fine and “look what we achieved last season”.

Last season is gone, this league doesn’t stand still, but we have!

Be that as it may - this is Sean Dyche’s team, Sean Dyche’s tactics and we have not sold one player from the team he took to 7th (and added a little depth).

There is no excuse for how poor we are playing game after game that can be levelled at Mike Garlick.

Enough wasn't done. Points needed to be picked up early this season. I don't care if people think I'm over reacting but are there three worse teams in the league than us? At the moment I don't think so.

The only differentiation between our players is that some aren't good enough and some are seriously out of their depth. I exclude Hart.

Jedi your right it is Dyches team however whilst the rest of the PL have advance we haven't you cant expect Dyche to keep asking the same team to out perform without being developed with better players

He didn't press the reset button, he pressed the retreat button and he did it on July 1st not Sept 16th.

In other words he bottled it due to Europe and went into his default defensive shell. From no fear to total panic. We have since struggled to create.

It could yet cost us everything.

I get that, I am not absolving our board of a shocking transfer window mate, at all.

I am simply saying that the team we are seeing is turning in a performance barely half as good on a man to man basis. The players I listed on a post further up have gone from some I would put in a 20 million valuation to looking Top 6 Championship (at best), the likes of Gudmundsson etc.

If that is due to complacency, I put that down to the management team to sort out psychologically.
