Just wonder how many youngsters we have that could play in the first Team, can't do any worse than some of ours at the mo.

We got 1 point in our 1st 5 last season and a double points deduction, 2 terrible defeats yes but you all need to calm down. It's not over yet.
{Ed025's Note - no its not over yet Wolf but the signs look ominous, no cohesion or style of play and playing with one up top with a massive gap between the midfield and the one forward makes for very boring football, we also have players who are just not good enough mate in the form of Young, Keane, Doucoure, Maupay Holgate etc and Gana looks on his last legs, our wingers McNeil and Harrison are very ineffectual and cant cross a ball on a regular basis, add to that the tactics which seems to me to consist of trying not to lose and hoping for a set piece goal or catching the opposition on the break makes for very poor watching, so yes its not over yet but we certainly have issues that need to be addressed and very little time to bring in players who can make a difference..

& JB and Dom want out Ed, other than that you covered most?.
{Ed025's Note - they do Mocker and who can blame them mate?..

We have some good recruits signed up this summer but it’s the same old, we have 4 or 5 good players but the rest are average to poor, this was never going to be sorted in this window we all knew that but what I don’t like is the can’t be bothered attitude by some in the Team, for me you put on the shirt and you give your all and that includes the manager, they need to pull their socks up and get stuck in, if they don’t it will be curtains for us.

I agree with you Wolf!

Surely we need to change the system now we have brought two number tens?
343 with
Pickford
Obrien tarks keane (branthwaite when back hopefully)
Dixon doucoure gana mcneil
Lindstrom Harrison
Ndiaye
Maybe Beto up top and Harrison wing back but surely that’s the best system for these players than this 4411 crap with discourse at ten it isn’t working.

Dom can go IMHO. JB is another matter, we need him, just give him a big raise and keep him for another year, Hopefully by then the ownership situation will have been resolved and we will be going into our new stadium, hopefully still in the Premiership.

Exactly Ed, massive downturn in belief in our club. Was quietly confident 2 weeks ago. Like most see no end to it, get the sense Dyche knows he is going and like others have stated something not right behind the scenes not just at boardroom level. Don't agree with the scenes of our supporters abusing them but we are so toxic and frustrated as a fan base. They needs to be some light at the end of the tunnel mate??.
{Ed025's Note - i was disgusted at the behavior of the fans at the station i must say Mocker, a tiny minority of course and i do understand the frustration but it puts our fans in a very bad light and i dont like that mate, we have enough troubles at this club without being targeted by the press as well..

Whilst true ed we said similar things last year lindstrom looks like a lively player, surely obrian with less prem experience than Keane a better option, ndyiae may not be the answer but deserves chance to prove it, the young right back dixon while raw and nieve should stop young playing again hopefully and tim looks an astute buy, sadly dyche won't rush things takes a more pragmatic approach.
His reliance on his favourite players shackles us in any creativity, he should play these players instead of having them sat on there bums on match day, who knows they may be the spark we need.
His tactics might as well be on signage outside the ground as he has 1 style of play and probably forgets he has subs.
With garner missing dcl and Branthwaite with 1 eye on the exit it's a sticky time again.
Dyche needs to forget our past we cannot change it or blame it anymore really and reshape our future, take the shackles of the lads as I feel he nullifies our attack more than the players lack of skill.
{Ed025's Note - i totally agree Wolf, i really fear for us this season mate unless things change because that pragmatic approach will send us down imo, these players we have brought in may not be the highest of quality but if we dont let them off the leash we will never know if they are good enough or not, we need a spark and some points as a matter of urgency starting with Bournemouth at the weekend, if we do it could build a bit of confidence and give our long suffering supporters a real boost which they deserve..COYB..
