I don’t think that’s fair, firstly he evidently did want to / try to leave and the club pulled the deal at the last minute. Secondly the idea that he should buck his ideas up suggests a lack of effort which again, isn’t fair. He’s just not been good enough and isn’t playing well. He clearly isn’t fluid/relaxed either. But the idea that he should ‘just perform like you are paid to do’ is mad given that’s not how performances work and his attitude is seemingly fine. So yeah, he’s 3rd choice, and will likely be utilised accordingly, which given the fragility and attributes of the other 2 above him will mean he’ll get chances and hopefully he can kick start something with a contribution at some stage.

Think he just continues to be a squad option. He doesn’t need to be written off. It’s not all or nothing. He’ll play second fiddle to the form strikers and when we need a goal he’ll no doubt be chucked on and hopefully he can find a moment to contribute and change the momentum. The reaction to him being subbed off is poor though.

And Downes he said won’t play. So at least 4. Ideal time to start Charles and Edozie now too. He was evidently speaking casually when he said ‘a couple of changes’ rather than speaking specifically.

It'll be more than a couple of changes. He named at least 4 in the press conference itself. I'm going for 11. Long, Jelert, Wood, Quashie, Manning, Charles, Romeu, Robinson, Matsuki, Edozie, Larin.

A few of those PL sides are beatable in certain circumstances. At home, against a semi rotated 11 etc. But yeah in reality, we’re all existing to just be knocked out for now. If you can get to the 1/4’s then maybe it becomes interesting.

Anybody advocating us not changing the team around forfeits the right to complain about Wood etc when they come in cold in a few weeks time.

Also the idea that Dyche is a survival specialist is spectacular given he’s now been sacked from 3 teams just outside/inside the relegation zone so others can keep them up. Clever PR man is Dyche. I’m sure he’ll be on podcasts telling everyone how bad other managers are soon though, especially ones who boasts winning records against him.

This whole thread was set up a few days after we drew with top of the league and a month after our own manager was presumably in the manager of the month hunt. We’d just lost two in 3 games at the end of Boxing Day when this took off. Other people are the bat shit crazy ones though.

Didn’t make it through the night. Watch out Parker.

We had him and he wasn’t very good. So there’s definitely doubt.

In fairness the rule is daft given Semenyo can play.

Yeah that’s fair enough and definitely my memory could have been skewed from various mentions too. No worries!

Where has he mentioned that out of interest please? I ask because on here a few weeks back I said he said this and that his ‘football adviser’ had told him not to appoint TE but Spors obviously wanted his man but couldn’t find the proof of that so if you could point me in that direction it would be great.

Yes, I did say it was a trust thing? Gee. I saw on that TSP the owner of this site was criticising the fans recently. Nice to share opinions with such high esteem.
