In past seasons, there's been an obvious change to make when things weren't going well - Mee to CH in the Championship season, Heaton back in goal last season.
I can't think of a similar change right now.
Possibly changing from the beloved 4-4-2? That's about the only change I can see making a difference.

Not nearly as boring as watching Dyche’s Burnley Team. More and more of us are getting turned off by the lack of entertainment.
It's fair comment Beamish.
But the poster I responded to is the ultimate Black Cloud Chaser and 'every' post sucks the life out of anyone who reads them.

‘More and more of us are getting turned off’
Sounds like some sort of new movement.

I don’t think anything is particularly ‘wrong’ at the club.
Naturally, all good things come to an end, and the warning signs have been there for 18 months.
This summer should answer a lot of questions about where we are headed as a football club.

There are a lot of fans who are feeling like they did in the first 6 months when Dyche came here.
I'm not quite at that stage because of what has gone on since then.
But one cannot deny that the fire in the team isn't burning properly and folk are a bit fed up.

Talking of coaching staff I often see Dyche, when things are not going to plan, go to Woan and the other assistant coach for a chat. But all I see, from their body language that whatever SD says they are agreeing with him.Recently its been looking like a three way good old moan. If that trio had anything about them yesterday they would have made changes around the 35 minute mark. I posted at half time to hook off Brady and Barnes-as their coaches they should have seen this being required before the fans. You will often see Woan go into a long ramble as if he is talking to himself. Do we know if these two have a mind of their own or just YES men
The game was only ten minutes old yesterday before it dawned on me " we are going to get beat today" I'm sure Dyche thought the same....but like you say he did nothing,and straight after half time we nearly conceded right from the kick off as our defence stood motionless.....the half time bollocking must have been shite as well

I will take great pleasure in being proved wrong by Sean, however his big opportunity to attract additional quality to Turf Moor was in the lead up to our Europa League adventure.
Not on about the club blowing hundreds of millions of pounds to get the likes of Messi in but a couple of capable players to start the move take the squad to the next level. Evolution not revolution.
Sean and BFC showed their true incapable recruitment colours at that point and have continued to fly the “it’s a difficult market flag” every transfer window.
SD unfortunately has one style and one small group of players he sticks like glue with. In the long run this does not do anybody any favours. His favoured players have to lose a leg before he stops playing them.
We have been crying out for a different approach in numerous games where the lump it upfront routine is patently not working. It never comes and that continues to be SD’s Achilles heel. You can’t have guys like Drinkwater + Vydra in the squad, when we are not firing on all cylinders and not give them a proper go at turning things around.
If he continues to maintain this Plan A only approach + play Cork every week then we are doomed.

Both Westwood and cork are playing at their skill levels,which at best is nothing great,but because dyche insists on no squad rotation are knackered,and therefore it does them no favours at all from the management.their not world-beaters but on their day do a good job

I put the Villa performance ( or non-performance ) down to the lads going on a news years Eve party.
I'm over it now.
One win away from mid table & two wins from top half.
Win the cup game & buy a player then all is rosé again.
