Gotta start planning for next season now... And it has to start with...

[Vintage Claret]

It’s deeper than that BT , the midfield I agree has gone and have posted for many weeks about it tbh we had better balance with Cork in there but his legs don’t allow him to compete so we’re ok with him receiving and passing it but if we lose it he can’t get back and he can’t get far enough up to support the forwards either for fear of not getting back.

Our whole footballing philosophy is dated and the argument will be well we don’t have the players to compete or play differently to how we do now , interesting that weghorst is second top goal score r in bundesligha behind lewandowski and here he can’t get a sniff

He’s not overly quick but has a good brain and feet reads the game well and as above Can/ has scored goals - yet we give him zero service in the areas that he’s meant to be in the 18 yard box , instead he’s defending for the team, how people can slate him is beyond me when he has no service at all.

Lastly I watch us against all teams in the Premiership and I’m convinced we don’t have goal posts on our training facility , other teams come and any opportunity to work the keeper or score and they do it , we with our man in charge would rather have a clean sheet , as I’ve posted elsewhere the whole thing is devoid of FOOTBALL and that’s what we’re supposed to be playing.

I could not agree more with you Army.

We are also constantly remined by some that Dyche has done wonders with the academy but with the exception of McNeil, we have not seen anyone coming through our system and gaining a regular stating place during his tenure. Is it that the quality we recruited for the academy has not been good enough or is it that our manager prefers experienced (older / pass their best ) players.

I honestly think the players dont like the tactics.When Cornet came he was a breath of fresh air but we soon sucked that flair out of him.Same with Mcneill.Weghorst, despite his height, is useless in the air yet we keep on using hoof and hope.It is the definition of madness doing the same thing when you know it doesnt work.As a consequence he seems to have lost interest also.

I agree, CIB. The warning signs were there when Dyche said that both Cornet and Weghorst had to get used to our style of play. Anyone with half a football brain could see that our style of play doesn’t work and that the squad needed to adapt to the skills of Cornet and Weghorst - both of whom offer goals if used to advantage.

Dyche really believes that his system works and that we will be relegated because of “fine margins”. Losing 1-0 with 49% possession is “fine margins”. 36% possession with zero shots on targets is not “fine margins”.
