Looks like they’ve already entered the dyche cycle of the players being run into the ground and not being able to pull out moments of quality to dig him out.
This is when you need proper coaching and all he has to offer is lash the ball in the box at the earliest opportunity.
Gibbs white being used like cahill there tonight.
Three loses in a row. I imagine they’re at the start of a massive winless run.
Forest fans thinking they might see a different type of dyche because they have better players. Lol.

He’s a blagger and he knows it.
Got a squad of players that finished 7th last season and he will do everything he can to drag it down to his level so he can take the credit for when they stay up.
Re: Dyche Watch
As happy as I was with our performance last night, it was as much an indictment of Dyche as anything.
Crosses and shots from the edge of the box. Rinse, repeat. He’s got nothing else. They’ll be able to smash their way through opposing defenses at times but it’s hard to beat anyone organized that way.
His approach is fine for grinding out PL results with Championship players but it has a low ceiling. Forest should have wiped us with the team we put out but here we are.
I give him credit for steering us through our most difficult stretch but I don’t think he has the juice he had at Burnley or the start of his time here anymore. Don’t know what changed but it’s all fairly stale and easy to deal with now.

Re: Dyche Watch
He’s shocking. He’s fine when he’s king of the kids but as soon as some grownups rolled into goodison park he folded faster than superman on laundry day.

I've commented on a number of other posts on here that i am really grateful to him for the job he did when he first came here.kramer wrote: ↑Wed Dec 31, 2025 4:07 pm As happy as I was with our performance last night, it was as much an indictment of Dyche as anything.

We were in such a mess after Lampard, i'd virtually given hope of straying up.
He done another decent job the following season with the double points deduction.
However after that the wheels were starting to fall off a while before the end.
Last night listening to him being interviewed he looked and sounded just like then, tired, stale and out of ideas.
It's still early days for him there, but it isn't looking good for him or forest at the moment

Re: Dyche Watch
I said it to my mate yesterday in the pub, if he was sitting over there (*I pointed in the direction of another table and chair), I'd offer to buy him a pint.
But I hope he takes them down.

I'm just glad @Kerryblueboy doesn't realise there's other forums outside the Everton section, he'd be camped in this thread morning, noon and night. 
Re: Dyche Watch
Last nights game was a year give or take a day or two that forest strolled into goodison handed us our arse and strolled back out with an as easy as you like 2-0 win.
They were in a champions league position and rightly receiving all the accolades for the turnaround, we were circling the drain again.
That for me was the game i knew he had to go as, well as forest were playing, we didn't compete, we offered nothing just damage limitation..
Thankfully he was gone not long after that.
Towards the end of the season we went to their place with them still in the champions positions and with the same players on both sides and we played them off the park.
Sure we only won it 1-0 with the last kick, but any other result would have been a travesty
Since then we've played them twice more, both with Dyche in charge and won both games fairly easily.
So since he left we have played them 3 times winning all of them by a total of 6-0.
How has it gone from champions league contenders to back fighting to stay out of the championship.
12 Months on from that Goodison mauling, the difference between then and now couldn't be starker for both clubs.
Last night they looked like us on that afternoon at goodison, slow, ponderous, predictable and in trouble.
The forest fans will rightly be thinking how the hell have they ended up in this position and with Dyche in charge

Re: Dyche Watch
Bad ownership in a nutshell, isn’t it?
Hired a technical director who clashed with the manager who had found a way of playing that perfectly suited their squad’s strengths.
That manager lost the power struggle and left the club but not until the season had already begun. The attempt to overhaul their style of play failed due to bad timing and a bad appointment and now they’ve opted for a “safe” pair of hands who is looking past his best.
So now they’re not good and facing a relegation battle with a squad full of players that would get into numerous sides above them in the table. And there’s really not anything they can do because they’ve played all their cards already.
I’d feel bad if their behavior since returning to the league hadn’t been so obnoxious. They’re basically been lower table Chelsea, buying anyone and everyone and seeing who’s good enough. Fuck ‘em.
