Or was that someone else?

He has been I think but who are we to be spending £15m on an U21 player with our finances and with the squad in the position it is in?

Absolutely bizarre transfer top to bottom. frankly I'm ignoring it for now. Bigger fish to fry.

Scored on his debut for Portugal u21s.

Surprising route out of P&S rules the year after next.

Burnley at home, Sheffield United at home, Forest at home and Luton away. If we go down from this position then it's entirely on Dyche.

This season I'm afraid.

No chance we aren't being utterly stiffed by the points deduction.

They'll wallop us

That and we're shite.

Not sure I've got it in me tbh. Might just have to follow the results, it's too exhausting.

Yeah think we're gone now I'm afraid, I just cannot see where a change in fortune could come from.

I'm just gutted, but it's not over yet. We're not in the drop zone and still have games to go. I do think something has occurred between Dyche and the players, because something has changed in the dynamics. Today we were flat and lethargic, considering we had 3 weeks to prepare.

We need to start playing games like they're cup finals, instead of hoping we just grind out a draw or a flukey win.

The problem is Dyche will probably feel he got it right because we probably should have had a penalty at 0-0.

And then because we got it back to 1-1 even though that was just lucky because their keeper dropped it, not because we created a good opportunity.

So if you believe in your approach you'll focus on the one or two things that reinforce you're on the right track, even if 100 others things strongly suggest otherwise.

I'm beginning to think along the same lines.
I was expecting a big performance today after a nice break, but as you say we were flat lethargic and uninspired

Going down and if we somehow don't we'll be battling relegation next season with even less talent. The club is doomed. Past the point of no return financially.

If we can get to BMD as a prem team and fuck these shysters off, I think another buyer will come in. It all comes down to this for me.

I think the debts are such now that we'd need someone wanting to invest a billion in a poor side with no room ffp wise. Who the fuck would want that.

The debts are still going up and will continue to do so as we sell more talent. I think it's done. We are going to have to survive 5 more years running while cutting costs. Its just not happening. No new buyers are going to want to invest a billion and then have their hands tied behind their backs not when we are already so poor

Just think the plan he had to get through with this group has been worked out. If we don't score from a set piece or a second phase we don't score, and now Godfrey is in the back line we can't defend either.

We're a terrible football team and we are playing terribly.

Think we have to hope the crowd can pull them through the home games. Can’t see anything but a loss at Luton which is a huge game

We’ve very quickly hit the wall of what defensive and shit football can achieve so yes Dyche has been found out.

A competent coach can get a better tune out of this squad though, it’s not THAT bad

Luton away to Arsenal and Sheff Utd away to Liverpool in midweek
