Lindstrom has some skill and creativity on the ball. So does Patterson. They need to play, and it will make a difference.

I'm not saying they are world-beaters, but they won't be Doucoure and Ashley Young (and/or Jack Harrison).

Lack of creativity (especially in midfield) has been killing us for years. Dyche being allergic to same (as in, he values predictability instead) has only exacerbated the issue.

Talk shite. Change your opinions wildly. Attribute things that were never said to others. Complain that we point it out. Passive aggressive emoji.

The players are poor but tactically it was impossible for them.

Decent tactics playing to strengths and the team changes.

Some of the shit written on here this week is crazy
Yeah, nobody was saying that Doucoure was suddenly going to become Zidane or Mykolenko was going to become Leighton Baines.

It's someone like Ndiaye, who is obviously class, that is being held back massively by a manager like Dyche.

Next few league fixtures for the us and the teams around us.

All difficult and we have the 'bonus' Liverpool fixture to bring us all up to the same amount of games.

Will have to see how Ipswich get on tonight but otherwise I don't expect to be in the relegation zone unless we get <2 points from those 4 matches. Beat Leicester and I think there could be 3/4 points between us and 18th. Always tough to predict though.

16th Everton 17 points (now 23)
Spurs H Won 3-2
Brighton A Won 1-0
Leicester H
Liverpool H

17th Leicester 14 points (now 17 points)
Fulham H Lost 0-2
Spurs A Win 2-1
Everton A

18th Wolves 16 points
Chelsea A Lost 1-3
Arsenal H Lost 0-1
Aston Villa H

19th Ipswich 16 points
Brighton H Lost 0-2
Man City H Lost 0-6
Liverpool A Lost 1-4
Southampton H

It's really weird this. I'm not remotely upset. Sat here in my jimjams eating supper and watching "naughty babies" with my lad. I've no clue why anyone thinks I'm upset or even what they think I'm upset about

He is fucking annoying me a little bit . He's come up with a tray full of shit for supper and I've been here for about an hour while he's stuffing his little face. He's dropped half of it on the floor too. Little piglet

As it stands Ipswich are level on points with us.

I’d say at most there’s three players that would get into our side.

We are seven points off 15th. That’s beating Bournemouth at home, not losing to Southampton, beating 10 men Brentford, not losing to Villa when 2-0 up as well as other terrible results we’ve had.
