I remember him and Dobson coming to BGS in the early 70s and giving a talk and then fielding questions from awe struck boys.

Dyche continues to stay loyal to the same old 4 strikers who are totally out of form.

Why not give some of the U23s strikers a go. It surely can’t be worse! It’s frustrating that Dyche appears to come across as stubborn.
