My 5 wins I predicted just before the Chelsea game is looking promising.

So, safe with 3 matches left. What were we worried about?

First of all, a big thank you to Sean Dyche and the team for making us safe in, what has not been a stellar season for us. Add on the points though, that were taken from us, and we'd be mid tablish

Dyche has his faults. He doesn't seem (to me) to make substitutions as quick or as effectively as most of us would like. He has not brought any youth through with the exception of the excellent Branthwaite but he even seemed reluctant at first to bring him into the first team

People say he is negative in his team set up and tactics. Defensively minded and "hoof ball". I'd agree but would say what is he supposed to do with the squad he's been given?

We are a team lacking in pace. Go through the team and who's got real pace? I'd argue that only Godfrey has it and even he isn't the same player as he was before his injuries. Coleman, Gomes, McNeil, Gueye, Young, Beto frankly don't have it

We're still not buying well. Beto and Chermiti? Did they really justify their fees/ wages? Were they really better than keeping Simms and/ or Cannon and spending the money on other positions. The same could be said of Danjuma and Harrison on loan. We've still not solved our problems at right back (possibly even both flanks as neither side offers much offensively) . I wish him (Deli) well but why did we buy Deli with his wages? Onana - we might actually make some money if we sell him but he's not been a success in my opinion - a poor mans Pogba with all the hype

One answer as to why we bought Deli possibly could be the lack of creativity in midfield. There is no one with good figures on assists or build up play. I think we must be the worst in the division

With all of the above Dyche had to, in my opinion, be pragmatic. He made us difficult to score against, The fact we are second to Arsenal in clean sheets is a testament to that and to the excellence on Pickford, Tarkovsky and Branthwaite in particular. The lack of pace in midfield forced him play 2 DM's in the majority of games. The lack of creativity meant we had to rely on set pieces, 2nd balls. The football hasn't been attractive but it's been very effective and we're staying up

Next season people are calling for a new manager with an attacking philosophy, bringing in new, younger, players. All very good but all very dangerous if not done right

Whatever we do I hope we recognise the job Dyche has done for us under very difficult conditions.

I think the answers to some of your questions could be" thelwell"

3 wins in last 3 good week. Might be hasty other week about wanting dyche out turned it around in last few games.

27 Apr 2024 22:42:09
See Holgate was in the starting lineup for Sheffield utd today. Anyone know when his contract is up? Dare I say it I think he's worst than keane.

27 Apr 2024 23:06:49
One more year think he on 72k week so will be another loan.

27 Apr 2024 22:29:20
With Safety from the drop secured, would administration solve any of our problems in terms of attracting an alternative to 777?

27 Apr 2024 18:31:43
Everton will never get relegated you negative fans need ta sort your self's out never in doubt.

27 Apr 2024 19:25:28
Amen to that mate.

27 Apr 2024 19:32:51
The Prem tried their best.

27 Apr 2024 19:34:00
Looking forward to sitting back and enjoying the run in. We can’t go down, the reds won’t win the league, happy days! Maybe SD can now give some young lads a run out.

27 Apr 2024 20:01:17
Would like to see the younguns get game time but also it would be nice to have a strong finish.

27 Apr 2024 20:39:04
2 seasons dyche ball kept us up Where's our dyche haters give the guy a break.

Who would put up with this anyway?

27 Apr 2024 20:43:14
Still want to see the game of him. This formation works but only because it was forced on him. Coaching staff (he brought) and himself just have no clue.

27 Apr 2024 20:46:20
Whilst would be good to see the youngsters given a chance we need to accumulate as many points as possible.

Not only do we still have the appeal of the second points deduction (can the points punishment be increased? ) you also get more money the higher up the table - with our finances so tight an extra place up the table would be a welcome bonus.

27 Apr 2024 20:55:49
Hate doesn't come into it wolf73. Far to emotive.

27 Apr 2024 16:59:08
Well a win tonight and it's done. A draw would also do as our goal difference is far superior.
But come on let's win it and we can all relax.

27 Apr 2024 16:54:00
Results going our way going to be a good weekend.

If, and it’s a big if, we get safe today either with a win or draw and Luton losing, who thinks that would be the time to throw some youngsters in for the remainder of the season.
It’s these youngsters we will have to rely on next season as I can’t see any recruitment happening.
Selling Onana and Branthwate covers our loses but doesn’t give us spending money.

27 Apr 2024 10:06:43
If we win and it's going to be tough. Personally I think keep the streak going and try to climb the table as much as poss and earn some much needed prize money to help boost the accounts. Heaven knows we need it far more than playing some kids who aren't good enough. Perhaps bring em on in the unlikely event we are spankin someone 3-0 with 5mins left. Each spot is worth something like an extra 5-7 m. Be good to shake off our relegation fodder reputation for a tricky summer window too.

27 Apr 2024 12:46:11
Not to mention points deduction appeals, administration etc etc etc, more points we can get the better.

27 Apr 2024 13:30:53
As soon as we are safe (9 points above relegation) , I’d blood the youngsters. Given we are selling players, we need to get them prem experience asap.

27 Apr 2024 13:34:21
For sure BR and pick out our targets from the lower divisions, get a new Team together.

27 Apr 2024 07:46:00
Looks like Sean has more injuries for todays match, don't care who he picks providing they show the same fight and commitment of our last game, even Young was ok.

27 Apr 2024 13:41:54
Young was okay because that is his position (left) .

27 Apr 2024 14:28:07
And that’s where he will be this afty.

GB,

I doubt very much we will be doing much business with incomings wether be premiership or lower league based.

Be very much reliant on the loan market and freebies should imagine. Not the scenario most managers will want to walk into, that's why realistically Dyche won't be going anywhere for me.
