Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Everton changed things around at H-T...we didn.t. As against Spurs, with Defour, we brought out main sub , Grey, on top late.

Isn't that part of a Peter Skellern song?

I don't know what that post sounded like in your head, ablue, but written down it's gibberish. Normally your posts are understandable but idiotic. This one isn't understandable.

Dyche certainly has an overall problem with his timing of subs, that's for sure.

Sounds like a Mighty Boosh crimp-song!

He's just so inflexible, we could have lost 3-1 with a bit of experiment, sadly SD just doesn't do proactive thinking. Formulaic to the end, but he can justify it by our home form.

I'm sure Brighton will make a better fist of it away from home, they'll go to win.

I actually thought that we went at Everton, certainly in the first half and more so than we have done in many of our away games.

Before the game you were asking for the framework to be allowed to breath and in fairness, today we were more focussed on creating opportunities.

At least if you are going to offer suggestions and criticism, admit that there was evidence of some change and change that you actually advocated.

I'm afraid the possession and shot figures still stubbornly remain the same, we need to assert ourselves In terms of possession, it's the low 30's virtually every match, away from home you'll rarely win with that level of possession.

That's wrong too

Try telling Leicester that.

Given the quality of our players against one of the better sides in the league we were never going to have that much possession

We also have strikers who show very little composure or confidence when presented with opportunities to score

By that logic we obviously should set up to coast it!

Set-up to pose a problem to the opposition, not something they expect.
If you're a sports watcher you know that introducing the new can on occasions upset your opponent, footballers take time to work things out.
By adhering to the ever so tried and tested SD hands the initiative to the opponents, and away from home you just do not do that.

I wasn't at the game, but radio commentary suggested we caused Everton plenty of problems today, particularly in the first half.

The board should sack Dyche now, took us as far as he can. He should have been sacked on the pitch immediately after we lost to Lincoln to be fair.

I'm sure Brighton will get some right hammering's when they do.

Obviously, you won't have seen the first half ABC? We played with a little more freedom and created a few good chances. Everton have won 8 home games on the bounce. That's 8!! They are one of the top 7 teams in this league. We gave them a good game today and lost to a deflected second and a piece of strength and brilliance from Lukaku. Guess what, a change of formation, or personnel we had available probably would still not have made us win today. Better teams, with better squads lose away to Everton.

We all know you are a tactical genius and, more importantly, you can come up with some "catchy" phrases ABC but I still trust SD slightly more than you. Sorry!

**** me some people obviously didn't watch the game, we were dominant first half, not so much the second. If we gave that level of performance at any of the bottom half teams we would have won 3 or 4 games away by now, we got done today by an odious slice of luck and a bad giveaway resulting in the leagues top scorer punishing us for it

FOYD

I find SD the most frustrating of managers, I just wish he could burst out of his own bubble and take some gambles, STOLID with a lid on.

You sir, are a complete wind up merchant. And that's being very polite.

We were by fare the better side for most of the game. Just a bit more quality up front and we would have won!

More shots, more corners and more possession by a mile!

are you back at school next week KRBFC. is the half term term nearly over. good boy. you get an early night

Are you being serious?

It sounds like he might not only be going back to school - but going back with a hangover.

The funniest part is, I'm not even trolling, I'm deadly serious. For me, he's dug his own grave. I'm entitled to my opinion but the football is down right atrocious. We are 2nd best every game, lose every away game and cheat to try and scrape points. I'm surprised Dyche hasn't signed Kenwyne Jones and Emile Heskey and paired them upfront together.

Come on people! Same old moaners every time! We are doing a grand job 6 games to go and practically safe? Being passionate, strong minded and having unreal determination far out points flair and having people who don't care.Super proud of them this season.I for one think the away form Is a bit of bad luck.You look at the top 6 Everton,Utd,Spurs,arsenal,Chelsea and City we where so close to taking something off all but Chelsea away from home.I do think next season we will have a more average away record,but so will our home record.Proud to be a claret!

But will we have a new manager?

Peoples thoughts are all over the place from the false league position we find ourselves in. 2nd best most games the only difference is we fluke wins at home but not away. Stoke at home a prime example.

KRBFC. you are a disgrace to the claret and blue. goodnight.

10 flukey home wins, I don't know how we did it.

How does this FOE thing work, I can't be doing to read anymore sh!t from this two hat.

No wonder people have a go at you when you post nonsense like that.

Well said Tony - about time!

I don't like Dyches style of play, I'm entitled to my opinion as a paying long time season ticket holder.

Yes, of course you are.

I wish you wouldn't pay for a season ticket - I was you'd just f**k off somewhere else.

What would be the point of sacking him now when we're not safe and it would plunge the club into turmoil? I don't really care of your opinion as you just come across as really thick.

I think the question has got to be: What do you expect of him?

He's not the messiah, nor is he a very naughty boy. Man for man, we have the weakest starting 11 in the Premier League and it looks like we're going to stay up.

He's overachieved.

I'm not sure we necessarily have the weakest starting 11, Frank. Could do with more goal threat though.

He's taken the club as far as he possibly can.

It wouldn't plunge us into turmoil, we'd be better without him Imo. I doubt some of the players would be too bothered. You could add at least another 5 goals onto Grays tally as soon as Dyches office desk Is cleared.
