If you could pick out one game from the Dyche era

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Mon Jun 28, 2021 6:14 pm

With our manager celebrating his 50th birthday today I was thinking back to his time at Burnley and all the special days we’ve had.

If you could choose just one game, which one would it be?

Hard to see past our first win against Rovers at Ewood in 2014 in his first promotion season.

Chelsea away

Morata looked quite good that day

Vintage Claret · Post by **Vintage Claret** » Mon Jun 28, 2021 6:24 pm

Hard to pick just one but the 1-1 draw at home to Middlesborough after falling behind sprung to mind.

Think we all sensed then that automatic promotion was on the cards even though there was still more points to play for.

3-0 win away at Palace last season

the comfortable 2-0 win at Man United, light years ahead of everything he did in the Championship

Yep, that win at Deadwood, the Chelsea game wasn't bad, though, must admit.

And Jrods goal at OT.

Preston away in the promotion season when Barton scored the winner. Never seen a Burnley away end like it before then or ever since.

Quite liked Brentford away win in Champ.
Chelsea away win and Man U away win were pretty special too.

Wigan at home, in 1st Promotion season...that was just an ace afternoon.

warksclaret · Post by **warksclaret** » Mon Jun 28, 2021 7:34 pm

As an earlier poster said above Chelsea 2 Burnley 3. Maybe the first or second game of the season. It set us up and we went on to finish 7th. Cork and Defour imperious that day, and could easily have won 4-2. Chelsea had just celebrated being PL Champions

Some great memories, the victory over Leicester to get us into Europe was special.

diamondpocket · Post by **diamondpocket** » Mon Jun 28, 2021 7:48 pm

A strange one but it was the first time I thought we were serious promotion material: Forest at home.
Forest were doing pretty well and everyone thought it was gonna be a tough one. We blew them out of the water in the first 25 mins and went 3 up.
I think that's when we first saw a Dyche team performance. Many more came & the Wigan goal at the end of that season topped it all off.

I'm going for our win at Old Trafford.
Twice having lead 2-0 to "only" draw there leads this was brilliant

duncandisorderly · Post by **duncandisorderly** » Mon Jun 28, 2021 7:55 pm

In games I actually attended then the 1-1 Middlesbrough at home in whatever year it was.

The entire day of March 9th 2014 is one of my favourite ever days though.

But the 2-0 win at Old Trafford is probably the best we've ever been for a full game since 1970odd.

If I can only take one memory with me to paradise then it's gotta be the bastards.

claretandy · Post by **claretandy** » Mon Jun 28, 2021 8:33 pm

Chelsea away, closely followed by Wigan at home.

This one came to my mind too. Should have been about 10-0 at half time, we murdered them. If Jamie Paterson had scored the chance just after the rebound pen, we might have struggled to hold on strangely. We were brilliant for 60 mins that day.

Forest was the one that immediately came to mind for me. Was in that period we beat them derby and Blackburn too.

Has to be Rovers at Ewood 2014. The jinx was finally lifted and every Claret has walked tall ever since.

buzzclarets79 · Post by **buzzclarets79** » Mon Jun 28, 2021 9:05 pm

Liverpool away last season, 60 odd games unbeaten at home then little Burnley turned up. They then imploded at home.
Season before that we should of beaten them if JBG shot an inch lower.

jdrobbo · Post by **jdrobbo** » Mon Jun 28, 2021 9:06 pm

Forest at home. That first half was scintillating. Could’ve been seven or eight up.

Stockbrokerbelt · Post by **Stockbrokerbelt** » Mon Jun 28, 2021 9:17 pm

Blackpool at home when Ince was their manager & i think it was a night game but i thought Dyche intimidated Ince who never got out of his seat & the Burnley team mirrored that on the pitch. It’s a template that has been repeated & repeated. Something myself & my great friend Beeky used to chat about was how Burnley in the warm up are usually in T shirts & come out in short sleeve tops where most teams have tracksuit & waterproofs on & need to strip of before kickoff, I’m sure its part of the mind games?

SouthLondonexile · Post by **SouthLondonexile** » Mon Jun 28, 2021 9:24 pm

I thought the away game at Brentford 3 - 0 up by half time.
Our last promotion season in the Championship. Barton outstanding and JT refused to play for Brentford.

claretfern · Post by **claretfern** » Mon Jun 28, 2021 9:25 pm

The Forest one for me as well.

minnieclaret · Post by **minnieclaret** » Mon Jun 28, 2021 9:25 pm

OT for me. Complete dominance of money bags Manure. That takes some beating.

Can't really top defeating the "equine interference mob" on their own patch but strangely (and certainly not the best performance i've seen) but Istanbul Basaksehir at home! Waited all my adult life to see Burnley in a European Match and was there that night.

I’d echo this. The horse botherers are small fry compared with this.

Chester Perry · Post by **Chester Perry** » Mon Jun 28, 2021 10:43 pm

lots of great games mentioned but I keep coming back to the home wins against Klopp's Liverpool (the ultimate in high press football to get the lead and then formidable defence and the home win against City - both hugely against the odds but ultimately defined our reputation, though we have a lot lot more nous now

Stayingup · Post by **Stayingup** » Mon Jun 28, 2021 10:58 pm

Wins at Old Trafford and Anfield and and Emirates were superb but that win at Deadwood for me.

Funkydrummer · Post by **Funkydrummer** » Mon Jun 28, 2021 11:04 pm

Another here for Forest at home. Total football for at least 60 minutes.

Closely followed by the win away at Chelsea, where my favourite song of all time was sung after the 3rd goal

"Three nil, and we've only spent three quid" - priceless.

Rileybobs · Post by **Rileybobs** » Mon Jun 28, 2021 11:18 pm

The win at Ewood. Not our best performance by a long stretch and not even the most enjoyable match. But to finally win that game in a packed out away end, after going behind, was brilliant. Not only that, I'm sure I wasn't the only one who was fairly convinced we would win promotion following that game. Dyche also came out 10 mins after the game finished to applaud the fans which showed how much it meant to us.

Obviously some far better performances and results have followed but the win at Ewood tops them for me.

Rowls · Post by **Rowls** » Mon Jun 28, 2021 11:42 pm

There are so many countless games it wouldn't be a surprise if we ended up with one for each of Dyche's 50 years.

I've opted for our 2-0 win against QPR waaaay back in 2013 because it was the day we went from being potentially just a flash in the pan to a team that everybody could see were serious contenders with real backbone.

Easy to forget how skint we were back then, how chronically short on numbers we were (Ryan Noble was a sub that day and I'm not sure we even filled the bench). QPR on the other hand were still getting parachute payments and had multiple times our budget.

Favourites for relegation and we were promoted in style. Says everything really.

One of my favourites under Dyche ... We silenced the whole contingent of fans the Bench and Karanka!!

So many choices, so many great answers.

Loved the Wigan game.

Brentford away was a superb performance.

Beating that lot down the road is always soooooo satisfying.

Weird selection - Watford away in the first promotion season when Scotty equalized with less than 10min left - that's when I knew we were going up.

Beating City, Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea in the prem.

But it has to be 0-2 at Old Trafford - that game was never in doubt and to do it after all these years - fantastic - thank you Sir Sean.

Brighton Away. Justice.

NottsClaret · Post by **NottsClaret** » Tue Jun 29, 2021 7:15 am

Not a classic Dyche performance but I always go for the 3-2 v Palace as a favourite.

Maybe the 1-0 v City showed best how ludicrous amounts of hard work and organisation can overcome almost any opposition. That was a very Dyche display.

Hedontplayforyou · Post by **Hedontplayforyou** » Tue Jun 29, 2021 7:37 am

Ewood - no brainier, the noise when the second goal went in and the emotion was something I’ve not felt since, ok maybe when my child was born earlier this year it emulated it, maybe!

Trippier ecstatic will live in my memory for a long time.

nonayclaret · Post by **nonayclaret** » Tue Jun 29, 2021 8:28 am

So many great ones to choose from, but the Barstewards have to take it for me just to finally shut them up and sink them to where they are now.

On that great day, my non-footy-minded colleague's wife is an avid ST holder at Deadwood. He texted me after the game saying "and she was so happy at half time!"

ŽižkovClaret · Post by **ŽižkovClaret** » Tue Jun 29, 2021 8:31 am

Speaks volumes that there are so many strong contenders, but that win at Ewood probably shades it. Watching it in the pub with my now sadly departed mum, was great

Fantastic thread....very very difficult to pick one game but he answer is somewhere in the suggestions already made. I'll just add the 1-0 win away at Ipswich quite early on in the first promotion season.....a ground where we always, always seemed to lose in my lifetime but when Scotty Arfield's header went in I remember thinking we were looking like the real promotion deal.

eastanglianclaret · Post by **eastanglianclaret** » Tue Jun 29, 2021 9:01 am

Yeah, the Ipswich win was great SAC. Having lived close to Ipswich for most of my adult life that was a '30 years of hurt' moment for me. I dined out on that one for ages!
