Success v Entertainment

[ClaretAL]

Obviously emotions very high at the moment, and lots for and against Dyche. But just wondered for those asking for his head is it for better entertaining football knowing that he has a proven history of getting out of the Campionship. For those saying Dyche must stay because he will get us out of the championship but knowing full well the style of football your going to be watching even though you are at the top table again.
My personal view is Dyche is definitely the CV you would want yo get us back in the Premier league, however the performances have bored me to tears fir quite a while now, and I think I would like to see something different but unfortunately I don't see Dyche serving anything up other than a defensive minded 442 which to be fair for a club our size is probably the best we can do, therefore I would rather see us play at a level where we can see some good standard of entertaining football against players that don't cost 100s of millions which we will only ever be able to play against by launching it over their heads.

We played some great football in the championship. We combined quick pressing with some great play - most teams couldn’t live with us on or off the ball.

Our poor displays over the last eighteen months or so have coincided with us losing the ability to make it hard for teams to play against us. Teams go through is like a knife through butter, these days.

In the Championship we had a competitive squad, all a few years younger than now. In the Prem we didn't so we had to play our own game which isn't always easy on the eye.
But once that gets stale for fans they start demanding entertainment so clubs try to evolve, get caught halfway, not sticking to their old identity and not yet good enough at free-flowing attacking football.
We're just this decades Stoke.

Agreed, I think we are saying the same thing in a round about way. I just don't see how we could play entertaining football in the Premier league because the standard we are playing against we will never be able to afford. However in the championship we are about right, although that sounds defeatist because you want to win the championship with the entertaining football, but the vicious circle the start all over again. I suppose it comes down to the game has gone and will forever be an unlevel playing field due to Money

Cornet's belting FK apart it was dire again.

And he's the one glimmer of light in a dark season.

Cornets free kick and the 1 touch football out from the back around 70ish minutes, that should have ended up as a goal.

I'm of the opinion that stick with SD when we get relegated but as soon as we then get promoted move on with someone more suitable.

Tremendous post, Combat.
Absolutely spot on.
