Look it's ok Dyche telling the players that they need to do the "hard yards" to the end of the game. But when you're spent your spent, and it's the job of the manager to notice this and make the changes accordingly.
Dyche didn't do this. Instead he took off two forwards who had been giving the opposition defence problems all day, and replace them like for like with two players who are not in the same bracket.
He did this while both Tim and Seamus were out on their feet, having given everything they had. We were 2-0 to the good, the game was won, and we had Garner and Dixon on the bench.
Keane got booked and began to look uncomfortable, we had O'Brien on the bench.
Yet he substituted forward players for forward players. Then has the gall to have a go at the players.
Sorry Sean but football is not about eleven players anymore, it's about a squad. And you seem incapable of knowing how to use your squad.
Poor, poor man management.

Absolutely spot on Woburn.

That’s his job to manage this type of situation, unfortunately he failed badly.

100% correct Woburn.

Fact is SD is an old school manager struggling with change. There is very little modern thinking in him and we are being schooled on the pitch as a result.
If he is the only coach to do manager days training sessions and you’re sat at the bottom of the league with the highest goal against stat ( yes SD not xG - but the ones that cross the line in the real world) , then you have to look at how the time spent on the training pitch is used.
He has stayed longer than Sam Custard Slice did so he can walk away with some bragging rights when those two and Pullis meet up for their regulars tactics catch-up.
