We wouldn't have been relegated but we'd also probably be on about 25 points now and the relegation battle thread would have 90 pages fretting about the Ipswich home game.
This is exactly how it would have gone down. And then Dyche would have been praised for the magnificent job he did by keeping us up with limited resources under difficult circumstances, and how grateful we should all be to have him.
Perhaps last season that would have been true and I am grateful for the job he did. But Dyche really messed the start of this season up, especially considering what Moyes has been able to do.

We never should have regressed as much as we did this season.
De facto 48 points last season and it's looking like, despite the awful start that Moyes could potentially finish somewhere near that in effectively half a season.

I wonder by what metric dyche has ever been better than Moyes.
Surely career xg stuff Moyes walks him? God knows.

The funny thing is that Moyes didn’t even have to scrap.
He sent Dyche’s favorite right back options to the bench for O’Brien, let the players keep the ball some, and the rest is history.
No, we couldn’t have expected it to go quite this well but also we’ve looked good value for most of the points we’ve picked up. Sometimes runs like this are extremely lucky, we’ve been mildly lucky at best.

To be fair I don’t think anyone thought he could/would play.
I prey we don’t take him next season.

We have the third best defensive record in the league this season.
That’s a mental stat considering how many we conceded in the first five games.
Just shows we have a really solid base to build from.

If brown shoes would have kept Moyes's defensive solidness and blended his attack with it, we'd have been a great side. That first season was a ray of hope, which he fucked up with his bollocks of an ego
