There is nothing wrong with criticism, but this isn't talksport. You don't have to post something that is deliberately provocative that makes no sense.

However, the cannot do better bit - many fans love a cup run more than seeing Premier League players every week. Me, I think we are capable of both, though Dyche obviously does not.

Re: Has Dyche Burned Out
I'm not sure he's burned out but there's certainly a different feel this season. I think someone alluded to the issue further up the thread though; it's about our aim for the season. Dyche has moved the club forward year on year since his appointment, culminating in our 7th placed finish last season. He reached the peak and now needs to reassess. That's not an easy thing to do, for Sean of the Board (I don't think they knew whether to stick or twist in the summer).
We all know we've peaked so the only way is down and that's not something Sean is used to. We're also in a little transition period with the defence and GK. The introduction of Hart and Taylor on a regular basis is more disruption than the back 5 has had since we were relegated back to the Championship the other year.
I believe the fitness of Defour and Brady will be key in the coming months. They were both on top of their games when they got injured. We need that back. It might take a while but their importance can't be ignored. Chris Wood looks completely lost at the moment and a lot of that comes from the fact we can't pick a pass from midfield at the moment. Defour will change that.
The reaction of some fans so far this season is understandable though. The fact remains that we don't play particularly attractive football. People won't tend to moan about it when we win but they'll quickly turn it around when we lose. That's the nature of the beast.

As for attention seeking the only attention seeker is your good self. Why would you make comments like the above if you are not seeking to in some way (with devastating failure I might add) to bring attention to your 'superior' stance.

Re: Has Dyche Burned Out
Dyche? Burned out? FFS.... 

Re: Has Dyche Burned Out
We’ve been overachieving on our budget (thanks almost entirely to Dyche) and now, for a whole number of reasons, we’ve given the rest of the division a five game head start. I don’t care about the cups; maybe the Europa League has/should have provided a reality check for people.
The guy has to play a tough game with even tougher cards versus our opposition. Maybe this run can do something to keep people’s feet on the ground.
I struggle to believe that people can be serious being pretty laid back about him staying or going. I really can’t. Be careful what you wish for; were a small club in a lofty position, come to terms with that.

Re: Has Dyche Burned Out
It isn't senseless to criticise him for stuff, its perfectly normal for fans of a football club to blame the manager!
I just happen to think that we all know what SD is about now, and if we are going to have a discussion on the future of our best manager for forty odd years, then its the kind of discussion we should be having at the end of a season.
To me, he's a massive victim of his own success with us, and some of us have now got unrealistic expectations.

Re: Has Dyche Burned Out
I'm not saying he is mate, just asked the question and it is a relevant question. People do get burned out and Mr Dyche is not above that, he is human. Could it even be that he is frustrated by what happened (or didn't) in the transfer window?Steve1956 wrote:Dyche? Burned out? FFS....
I am NOT saying he should be sacked or leave, that is not what I want at all and I would like him to be here in 10 years time, but I do want whatever is going wrong put right and I just wondered if he can do that, and I want to see him (definitely) start taking cup games seriously.
Two things, nothing more.
If he can do both of those things then, as I have said many times in the past, he has a job for years to come as far as I am concerned. Even if we got relegated, if we did it with grit and determination (as was always usual with his sides) then I wouldn't sack him, but the very life seems, at the moment, to be seeping out of the team and it defintely needs to be reversed.
Re: Has Dyche Burned Out
Something isn't quite right, however. When we have a good winger who is inconsistent (which Brady probably will be when he comes back) you hear 'well if he was that good all the time, he wouldn't be with us'. We have a manager who doesn't win all his games, and at the moment is struggling to win some.
Plenty of time before a need to panic or question burnout
Dyche is the best we can get at the moment, so why would we want to think about the next manager.
I know people talk about the quality of football. I imagine they are the same people who used to say 'it's better in the Championship, when anyone can win'

For what it's worth what is happening is not all Dyche's fault and I'm not really just blaming the manager, just wondering if he can get us out of it. He's been unlucky with injuries and the lack of investment in the Summer is almost certainly more down to the board than him.
I really do hope he turns it round because I like him very much but regardless of his ability, which is beyond question normally, I still cannot forgive the Europa fiasco and I never will and as I have have said before is the players response to being dropped a lack of motivation after striving to get us there, speaking personally it would seriously cheese me off if I were them.

There are things that I believe he does need to change, but right now we will not do any better short or long term in my opinion.

He hasn't burned out, but he is definitely still learning. You can't criticise the job he has done for the club, he'll deservedly go down as a Clarets legend but that doesn't mean he isn't deserving of some criticism at times. I still feel he is a bit rigid tactically, and some of his substitutions and timings leave a bit to be desired. Here's hoping last night was a minor blip and we're back in the points at Cardiff.

Re: Has Dyche Burned Out
so many people come here to question and ridicule the players, manager and board over a long period regardless of where we have been and what we have achieved, seems to be the nature of the beast, but especially after defeats the logic and questions become rather silly but I do still like reading them as I get a chuckle and try to ponder where is this persons mind at, thanking god silently that they have nothing to do with the running of the club I support. Will we win every game, I certainly think not, do we win games I think we will not win, certainly, do we lose games I think we should win, certainly but I don't tear my hair out and grin my teeth. It's difficult to point to why we lost last night because on paper even with that team we should have won, why when we see so often the underdogs over perform and favorites don't I have no idea but suggesting the manager is burnt out seems somewhat ridiculous to me. The manager is still for me the most important part of BFC but he will make mistakes and am sure he tries to analyze why these things happen, hopefully along with a number of players because a few contributed to the goals and the chances we missed.
I firmly believe if you take the PL over the last 20 years and review those teams that have won the PL and either of the two cups and don't include any European competitions, there would be very few on the list of usual suspects, with the odd team that cause an upset. All the other teams who are regulars over those years that bang on about there DNA and style of play, West Ham, Everton etc. have won what exactly, they have chopped and changed managers and spent fortunes that BFC can only dream of, so if you're banking on winning a cup you will have a very very long wait in my opinion, however a final would b enjoyable. I do wish we could have a cup run, I really do but I believe more in that we need to retain our PL status, try for a 6th or 7th finish, these goals will make us more of an attractive prospect for players that could improve us even if for the future.
I know I have read where many on here have said they would rather be in the Championship and fighting for 1st/2nd or even a play off place rather than struggling in the PL, yes can see the attraction of that but for me it's still struggling to get to where we are now, in fact SD has taken us well past that team this is yo yoing from Championship to PL and back. Last year was really exciting for me and new territory in daring to believe we could finish high enough to be in the Europa League, therefore thank you very much SD while at the same time please get us back to winning and up the table, next two games are more important than the game last night and if we were in the top half after these two games I sincerely hope not to see another knee jerk reaction after a loss, however unfortunately the nature of many posters here means I my heart of hearts I know I will have to read more drivel such as "Is Dyche Burnt Out"

He did last year what all managers have done, once it seems the team is safe...he and the team took their foot off the gas. Pulis has done it for years, at Stoke and WBA...as has Mark Hughes. Every man and his dog knew what was going to happen with the European adventure, lets move on from that.
My issue is the squad is now tired physically and mentally, he has been far to loyal to a lot of players. We all love our favourites (Vokes for me), but we need to move on...no room for sentiment in this league. He should be looking to have a right clear out in January and freshen the whole thing up.

I remember reading a comment once that said "the problem with jumping on any bandwagon is you have no idea how to conduct yourself when things don't go the way you want"
On here after a defeat is as perfect an example you will ever get to see with some posters.

Re: Has Dyche Burned Out
No I don't believe Dyche has burned out but certainly he has a few challenges
compared to last season. We over achieved last season to virtually everyone's delight and surprise.
It seems as if he needs to instill the right 'mentality' again (whatever that may mean?)
and find a way of bringing back Defour and Brady and integrating Vydras.
Defour, I think, needs to play in a three man midfield rather than a two man which may cause him
and the team problems. Vydras as the no. 10 with a front man.
Hart
Lowton Tarks, Mee, Ward/Taylor
JBG, Defour, Cork, Lennon
Vydras, Wood, Barnes or Vokes
That does look like a decent, if not our best team apart
from being short in midfield.
Alternatively
Hart
Lowton Tarks, Mee, Ward/Taylor
JBG, Defour, Cork, Westwood/Hendrick
Vydras, Wood, Barnes or Vokes
Stronger in midfield but a winger short and there's still Brady to accommodate
although don't think he's likely to be starting for a while yet.
So, how is he likely to play it?
Does he sacrifice one of the wingers?
After Saturdays performances against Bournemouth then JBG and Lennon
would be certain starters.
Or does he play just one up front?
An interesting and challenging dilemma for Dyche.
In particular during the next two games which, even at this stage of the season
are critically important. Six points from these two would catapult us up the table
and into relative comfort and safety. Four points would be decent too.
Three or less would leave us too close to the bottom three.

Re: Has Dyche Burned Out
Vydras?
Is he going to be the latest player on here where a letter 's' is stuck on the end of his name for no apparent reason?
Have you got 12 men in those teams by the way?

Re: Has Dyche Burned Out
Football in our last promotion season wasn't that great, I remember lots of games where we were outplayed but still won , during his time here we have played well in patches during games but never put in a full 90 mins of nice football , I think that's what dyche means when he says we can mix it up so teams don't know what to expect hence the good results over the last 5 yearsCleveleys_claret wrote:I think 5 years is a very long time in football. He has been the greatest manager in my lifetime and has enabled us as a club to be secure for many years to come. Hopefully able to attract good young players and become a little self sufficient.
The problem is during that time the football in general has been pretty gash. The football in the Championship was good and we played some fantastic football whilst keeping strong at the back with the goal of promotion always in the players minds. The football in the Prem is workmanlike and devoid of ideas many times. Yes we have had fantastic results but still usjally they have been back to the wall performances.
Now that we are losing and playing the same boring football fans are going to turn on Dyche. I know Bournemouth was a fantastic performance but it is not the norm. People say its the plastics but my dad is 66 and has been watching Burnley for 56 of them years. He praises Dyche but doesnt enjoy watching the football served up anymore and now is not bothered about missing a game here and there now as it is so uninspiring. Didnt miss Bournemouth though which was a lucky call from him

Re: Has Dyche Burned Out
Why would you say that? I spend very little time in the house and keep very busy on the whole. But occasionally I like to ask questions and watch while people try to justify their somewhat odd answers, especially those who see themselves as some sort of failed comedian.LoveCurryPies wrote:Houseboy, you need to get out of the house....you clearly have too much time on your hands.
Come to think about it I haven't been in the house since 8.15 this morning. Just so you know like.
Re: Has Dyche Burned Out
Don't think anyone is expected us to win a cup. Just attempting to have a decent run would be nice though, however you dress it up last night was pathetic.KateR wrote:so many people come here to question and ridicule the players, manager and board over a long period regardless of where we have been and what we have achieved, seems to be the nature of the beast, but especially after defeats the logic and questions become rather silly but I do still like reading them as I get a chuckle and try to ponder where is this persons mind at, thanking god silently that they have nothing to do with the running of the club I support. Will we win every game, I certainly think not, do we win games I think we will not win, certainly, do we lose games I think we should win, certainly but I don't tear my hair out and grin my teeth. It's difficult to point to why we lost last night because on paper even with that team we should have won, why when we see so often the underdogs over perform and favorites don't I have no idea but suggesting the manager is burnt out seems somewhat ridiculous to me. The manager is still for me the most important part of BFC but he will make mistakes and am sure he tries to analyze why these things happen, hopefully along with a number of players because a few contributed to the goals and the chances we missed.
I firmly believe if you take the PL over the last 20 years and review those teams that have won the PL and either of the two cups and don't include any European competitions, there would be very few on the list of usual suspects, with the odd team that cause an upset. All the other teams who are regulars over those years that bang on about there DNA and style of play, West Ham, Everton etc. have won what exactly, they have chopped and changed managers and spent fortunes that BFC can only dream of, so if you're banking on winning a cup you will have a very very long wait in my opinion, however a final would b enjoyable. I do wish we could have a cup run, I really do but I believe more in that we need to retain our PL status, try for a 6th or 7th finish, these goals will make us more of an attractive prospect for players that could improve us even if for the future.
I know I have read where many on here have said they would rather be in the Championship and fighting for 1st/2nd or even a play off place rather than struggling in the PL, yes can see the attraction of that but for me it's still struggling to get to where we are now, in fact SD has taken us well past that team this is yo yoing from Championship to PL and back. Last year was really exciting for me and new territory in daring to believe we could finish high enough to be in the Europa League, therefore thank you very much SD while at the same time please get us back to winning and up the table, next two games are more important than the game last night and if we were in the top half after these two games I sincerely hope not to see another knee jerk reaction after a loss, however unfortunately the nature of many posters here means I my heart of hearts I know I will have to read more drivel such as "Is Dyche Burnt Out"

Re: Has Dyche Burned Out
Just look at the mischievous glint in his eye. Bet he’s thinking ‘I’ll just sign this amazing deal that sets me and my family up for life ..... and then I’ll cause holy hell and act like a nob’.
Also, I think Dyche should have gone after those five consecutive PL wins last spring, appalling.

Re: Has Dyche Burned Out
I'm sorry, but did you just put on here that Dyche isn't a good motivator?bfccrazy wrote:I think Dyche is a brilliant tactician and can create a well drilled team who know their jobs. He knows what sort of football he can get from the players at his disposal and will continue to play that football until the personnel on the pitch changes.
The downside for me of Dyche is that he isn’t as good a motivator as other managers - he comes across as someone who runs a tight ship which is brilliant and keeps idiots away from our club but seems like the sort of manager you wouldn’t want to get on the wrong side of. After last years amazing run and finish it’ll be even harder to motivate the team now as that will probably be the best that we can expect from this group of players - especially with Dyche pushing them on.
How far up your backside did you have to reach to pull that idea out of it?

He can get a good morale going which is evident but I feel for individual games and getting players pumped up he isn’t as good as others.GodIsADeeJay81 wrote:I'm sorry, but did you just put on here that Dyche isn't a good motivator?
