Things seem to be really positive about him right now but that could change very quickly.

Agree. The gap is very slim from the drop zone and the gap above us is getting wider, so even if we win and results go well, we don't actually move a place.

Still right in the mix for the drop. 3 good draws yeah definitely, but it hasn't pulled us away.

Yeah, as I’ve said before, his job at this point is to keep us away from trouble. Not to land us in trouble then claim credit if we don’t go down.

We’d have to massively improve just to finish above 15th which is pretty poor imo.

He’s done well to not lose any of the last three but we’ve needed pure backs to the wall football just to stay away from the drop.

Next four games are all winnable, whilst difficult in their own right. He needs to find a way of winning games.

The 3 draws have been a nice surprise but hasn't (shockingly) changed anything for me. If we don't start winning matches now then he should be relieved of his duties. 3 wins in 17 this season is shite.

His issue has never been stopping the rot, or grinding out results, its after the brakes have been putting on trying to move us forward.

If he could do that he would be a very good manager.

Been a very good month, the derby being postponed was probably a blessing as it meant we didn't have a morale sapping defeat so went to Arsenal with the Wolves result fresh in our minds. Still two tough games to come now but we really need some wins to build a bit of a gap as we've a bad habit of getting results like we just have then losing games we shouldn't.

Just got to start scoring goals.
January needs some magic dust, another wide signing or two, and Iroegbunam, Chermiti and Garner back for depth and rotation would be good.

Time for Broja I think.

Big chance we could be in the bottom 3 after the next 2

Go away lad.

Could be in the bottom 3 after 1 game

It was a poor day of results for us yesterday. Palace, West Ham and Wolves all picking up points.

But 17 from 17 is absolutely not a a major flop in our circumstances. It's not a roaring success and I think he has personally cost us points this year - but 40 points is probably par.

Wouldn't surprise me to see Leicester relegated 3rd bottom with 32 points

Could really use back to back wins. That's the key to getting away.

It's good to keep plugging away but makes for a long and stressful season.

Could still win the title after 20 games

It's just more positive than it was and people are probably focusing on that while we have a chance.

He's done well to stop the rot. We've ground out some points we didn't expect to get, and bounced back from the united game and the poor run of defensive form.

But it hasn't changed our current situation as although we're now how to beat, we still don't look like we have the confidence to win a game, everything we do from open play looks like a giant panic.

Think the 6 points from the last 4 games would have looked more impressive had wolves not found form and Leicester not got the most incredibly flukey win against a far superior West Ham.

Mind most said we be in the bottom 3 and we aren't and sit in 15th and 3 points clear of Leicester, so it's been a good run where everyone predicted (me included) minimal points.

Leicester are only 3 behind but Ruud looks clueless and it won't take much to pull away from them, we'll be absolutely fine and I doubt we'll see Dyche sacked even if we bore draw our way to relatively comfortable survival.

We haven't kicked on the way we should have this season but at least we look a bit more like last year's Dyche team now he's figured out we have to play Doucoure in the 10 and Branthwaite is back.
