Dyche turned down numerous players in the summer, including Walcott.Dark Cloud wrote: ↑Sun Feb 28, 2021 4:00 pmNot Dyche's fault. Recruitment has been non existent for 3 (4?) windows now and it's all catching up. A paper thin squad and too many players not really up to it. Our only serious spend being Brownhill and tbh, he works bloody hard, but he isn't PL quality or indeed a winger. We never expected owt today and so we can't be fed up about getting nowt and tbh, we played pretty well going forward and most of the second period seemed to be in their half (weirdly!)
Just a serious question: Why is Dyche hiding what he's saying to Woan behind his hand at 4-0 down? Like Jose is by then remotely interested in our tactics!!!

Re: Tottenham versus MIGHTY CLARETS
Because let's be fair to the guy, Garlick refused to spend any money in the Summer and then for whatever reason, Pace decided it best to wait in January (which I kind of get as it's far better to recruit sensibly over the coming summer IF we stay up). I honestly don't think that's Dyche''s fault or what he would have done given the choice.Les Lawrence wrote: ↑Sun Feb 28, 2021 4:11 pmSean (the untouchable)Dyche.If he's that good why hasn't anybody else been in for him.Why no loan signings??Why not getHowe back,good spotter of young talent.Not has beens ie Dale ******* Stephens

Re: Tottenham versus MIGHTY CLARETS
Despite the scoreline, which imo was always going to happen, Spurs were just due a game where it all came off, we kept going created chances and carried on attempting to play as we did against Villa and Brighton.
That's very important going forward.
So we were second best, so what. It's still been a good weekend for us, and Leicester was always a better opportunity. Hopefully Wood will be back, and they have a few injuries.

Pace wants a marketable product that's why relegation doesn't matter adds to the drama. New sponsors are being lined up. This is not a football club anymore it is a commodity. Some of you need to wake up and see what is happening. Absolutely no public dialogue between Pace and Dyche.
As fans we are now irrelevant we are only relevant as media consumers.

Were you happy that season where we saw the most bizarre of high scorelines under Stan? The result is secondary, right?!
Personally, I'm still glad we're dining at the top table. The downside is that we will get stuffed from time to time when world class players are on their game... like today.

Re: Tottenham versus MIGHTY CLARETS
I base that on this being his team. Another manager would have a re-build job on. As we rarely spend and some incomings would be flops it will be very difficult for whoever eventually replaces him.

Re: Tottenham versus MIGHTY CLARETS
Why all the fuss over Walcott, just checked his stats out, and he has 2 goals and 2 assists, and averages a goal every 666 minutes, which interestingly is a worse minutes per goal ratio this season than Barnes, Jay, JBG, Vydra, Wood, and even Jimmy Dunne, so Saints really aren't getting much bang for their buck if he's on such a large salary.Dark Cloud wrote: ↑Sun Feb 28, 2021 4:29 pmWell yeah, totally agree.

There were possibly 2 players at fault for that goal...neither were Lowton and yet you point out that he didn’t close down. Do you know how quick Son played the ball? Absolutely no point to call out Lowton which is what the finest football mind since Bill Shankly was doing

Re: Tottenham versus MIGHTY CLARETS
Ah! right didn't catch the whole conversation sorry, my point was if we'd signed Walcott though, and he'd returned such meagre numbers many posters would be calling him a waste of money, I do suspect that Garlick did pull rank on any summer incomings though, and we all know why that was, and if we do end up going down, then a lot of the blame will lie at his door ultimately for not investing in the squad when the going was good, even pre-covid we were reluctant to pay money to improve the squad, and we can now see the results of that policy, touch wood it won't cost us our PL status, but the signs aren't encouraging I have to say.Dark Cloud wrote: ↑Sun Feb 28, 2021 4:47 pmIt was someone above who randomly threw Walcotte's name in.

Before people say that we have more points than all these let me remind you that every season we have been in the PL, we have gone very long stretches of games where we have not won a game. Three tough fixtures ahead, but based on our last few games, all remaining fixtures will be tough. Time for SD to earn his corn

Re: Tottenham versus MIGHTY CLARETS
One thing I am struggling with today. We were losing 4-0, and by the time Wood came on Spurs had already made two subs. Even if Wood was being saved for Wednesday then the midfield should have been changed at half time. Cork & Westwood were being totally over run. There is only so many times Westwood can receive a ball and try and hit it first time over the centre half. Jack was really bullied today, and should have been rested earlier. Having got Stephens to join us it would have been good to see him come on at half time, if only to create some competition for Wednesday
Re: Do we need a change
If the long ball stuff got us back into Europe or won a cup then I think virtually everyone would be fine with it. But the reality is we're playing that way just to finish 15th or 16th, you can't blame people for questioning if it's really worth it.

His "first" or his "next". I agree that it is quite a long time since he last scored for us in the PL, though it was a memorable one.
(Or do you just mean this season?)
He currently he has 3 PL goals for us.
Fair enough he's now been on the field 47 times for us in PL games, but he's only actually started 15 games. Most of this 32 sub appearances have been for less than 10 minutes, and often lost causes.

Get Wood and Vydra playing together and I am sure we will see Vydra on the score sheet
Re: Tottenham versus MIGHTY CLARETS
Vydra would score more if he had balls to run onto not just aimless punts. I think a dose of realism is need about today, just look about their forward line England centre forward, Son who would get in any top European team and Bale who just oozes class.

It also depends what league we're competing in when Sean finally goes, if we're in the Champ, then somebody like Paul Cook could be a good fit, and he's shown in his time at Wigan that he can get his teams playing good football, which seems to be a priority for some on here.
