I was very down after the abject defeat on Boxing Day, and my faith in your abilities started to waver.

I’m sorry I ever doubted you.

Now that is how to do it.

Not for the Beamish to "forget" his log on details to the next defeat.

How did the bike ride to and from work out?

I wonder if the likes of Skipton claret and cockney claret are prepared to do the same?

this could be the longest thread in history if all the doubters are to follow suit

Why should people feel the need to apologise to other message board non entities. We as fans are quite right to question proceedings when we’re not performing as well as we know we can.

Easy coming, harder getting back. Headwind coming along the false flat after the Ram Inn in Cliviger. Tired, tired legs. Steady away, though.

I think I could do it from here for a game in August.

Might think about it for next season

There’s a UTC Youth Foundation fund raiser in there somewhere - exiled (and local) Clarets Cycle to The Turf Day.

I was 1 of his doubters. Thought he'd run his course. But I'm glad he's turned it around.

Yet again, there's questioning proceedings and there is typing over the top b0llocks.

Wow my favourite poster gives me a mention (that's love)
I'm happy to admit I doubted him but finally he changed things around.. hopefully not too late in the season.
But his stubbornness was costing us.
Just hope next season we actually dip into the transfer market and not play the waiting game..
Onwards and upwards

It takes a real man to admit when he's wrong.

Love and kisses.

Get involved in the transfer market. Like Fulham you mean?

I thought we had an open relationship, you illiberal, zionist popinjay!

Yes. I apologise. I lost faith and I shouldn't have. I was wrong. I am sorry.

I'm sure they will all be back to their normal whinging selves if Newcastle beat us

Hear, hear.

I’m sat here wondering how and why I ever doubted the man.

He’s irreplaceable.

I don't understand.

We're not allowed to have a whinge when things are going really bad?


Why can't disparity exist on this forum without ridicule? It's like a weird cult.

Not only won't I apologise for airing my concerns when things go wrong, I'm going to do it even more during the next bad spell.

I'd prefer the usual suspects to engage their brains before shooting their mouth's off next time.

It won't happen, but we can dream.

Dyche has more than earned the right to sort it out when things have gone wrong.

Hey everyone, look at meeeeeee.

I thought Dyche was starting to run out of steam too but my how he's turned it around. Hard to overstate how well we've done to go on this 8 match unbeaten run given what came before it.

I think half this board doubted him. N half this board thought Hart was our best option in goal

Anyway I’m glad you were all wrong

A little bit antisemitic

Dyche is always going to make mistakes and make decisions we don't all agree with. He doesn't play the most attractive football in the world but he is absolutely the best man for our great club. What he's done for us is nothing short of amazing. He's earned the right for us all to stay loyal to him when things aren't going well. He really has turned it around and long may it continue!

I never had any doubt, so i don't need to apologise.

It's an easy life when you're right this much.

I doubted heavily, so I think it’s almost time for my apology. Almost.

Lord Beamish suspect many felt like you, me included. OH YE OF LITTLE FAITH
A truly remarkable turn round and a pleasure to watch now

I think some (not all) of us that doubted him had genuine reasons for doing so and i won't apologise as at the time i did nothing wrong by highlighting his stubborness to change things around. I stand by that. I will hasten to add that i never called for his head but i did say something had to change. That change has now happened. We were clearly underperforming and our success at the moment is highlighting that.

The team meeting after the Everton game clearly got things off the players chests and maybe a few home truths were swapped in both directions. Much the same as after the Hull game a few years ago. It is telling that straight after that meeting he made changes and tweaks to the team and they looked and still look a totally different side. The team we saw last season is back.

Like I have said many times on these threads the people who question mr dyche hang your your head in shame and stop back tragging back the the man and the club utc

ohh i am sorry i should not be on this thread .
You people of little faith .......................

I think people had every right to start asking questions. Not only were we struggling, but the manner in which we were playing was incredibly bad and we did look in serious trouble.

I don;t think people should apologise, they only want what they personally feel is best for the club and fortunately for us all Dyche has turned things around in a way I couldn't have imagined at that time. 8 Unbeaten in the league....

I think the same, and to add a bit more most of us could see Hart was the problem, and the on going allegiance to him from Dyche was causing the issue for me, he finally changed it and we never looked back. UTC NNN

No need for Sean to apologise the hive mind came to the rescue just in time!

3 wins to go

7 points i think will do it

When we was really struggling it was a grind travelling from Leeds to Burnley. I have a young family (new born and 2yo) and I was struggling to justify leaving them every other Saturday to do something I wasn’t really enjoying. I posted on here that Dyche deserved the chance to sort out the mess we was in because of everything he was given us, but silently I was having my doubts.

The change for me was the Liverpool game. Due to the road closure near Winfields it took me 4 hours from Leeds to Burnley and I only just made kick off. Although we were defeated I enjoyed our performance. We had a couple of poor performances after that but in general it’s bedn an upward trend since then.

I’m sorry for doubting Dyche, even silently.

I am also sorry for thinking Wood isn’t all that. He clearly is

He wasn't.

Fair play Beamish for acknowledging you got it wrong. But there were others far more critical than you who won't come anywhere close to doing the same.

You should just apologise anyway.

There’s nothing wrong with legitimate criticism but why do people want to sack arguably our greatest ever manager? I’ve been openly critical of many things in the recent past - our (lack of) transfer dealings, individual player selections, reluctance to use substitutes etc - but it will be very cold day in hell before I ever ask for Sean Dyche to be removed.

If people think we’re going to breeze along in this division without ever going through a bad patch, they’re living in cloud-cuckoo land. I just hope the people who are apologising now remember this moment and show a bit more patience when the next one comes along.

Sadly, I fear we’re only ever a couple of poor performances away from the knives being sharpened again.

We would all love to see more players coming in but hang on a moment - the vast majority of players either would look down their nose and not want to play for us or are vastly out of our depth from a financial perspective. Take yesterday and their cheating softbelly fullback Rose. Would we want a whinger like that he only cares avout his ego and his fat paycheck.

In fairness why should they? As customers it's like going to your favourite restaurant & the food served up is usually good but a couple of months ago the food was dire & you had doubts about whether the chef was upto it, but he's overcome his problems & the food has returned to consistently good again, it is what it is.

if that's how you see it fair enough. I don't see it like that at all.

That's just life, the moral of the story is that people stuck with the restaurant & the chef without apologising.
