Exactly Vintage - if we’re pinning our hopes on survival with signings like that we’re really are deluded and its rotten top to bottom .

The only thing that this would confirm to me is that we really are going to continue with hoof ball tactics - I accept we cannot change everything all at once but my question would be why waste the time - money on dead wood when we could be investing in players for our future if / when relegated.

I’ve said before and I’ll say again it won’t change under Dyche - limitations yes because of what’s available to him at any time and if we got younger fitter players in we could maybe survive a few season again at this level, but I have to say from my perspective it’s boring watching us hanging on every game we play - creating very little - not even shots on goal in games.

Reality is we are a championship club batting above our station so championship we must go until we rebuild or clear out an awful lot of hangers on - footballs evolving all the time unfortunately we are not.
