This is one of the main dangers if you're interimming.

If he keeps a clean sheet he deserves a contract for life.

Dyche has had 1 successful job. And it was a job in which he had time to build. Since then he's stunk out Everton and Forest and been sacked before he'd have taken them down. Might be a decent shout in the summer to start a rebuild. Not sure he's the nailed on guy to get us out of a relegation scrap. Rowett has done ok coming in and sorting others shit out hasn't he?

I'll assume those Afcon games don't include the Tunisia game. So 2 games.

For any reason other than sentimentality? He's shown he's not captain material. Quite possible he's not coaching material either.

Well fxxk me, that horribly incentivizes him to keep us up don't it?!

You could level this at the entire squad.

Hold onto your hats, Coulibaly subbed on at half time against Udinese. Just been booked, but less than 10 minutes away from a second half clean sheet! 2nd half clean sheet it is! Doubles his value to £1.20

With Thomas flopping so badly, I agree it's not the time to go soft on him to be honest. Boner.

To be fair, if I were called out for being shit at my job whilst I was down the pub I'd kindly tell you to get fxxked.

It's headed on by our player.

Just sent you a DM but I wouldn't fxxking bother.

No, no. The guys that have already written him off are 100% correct.

Good shift from Aluko.

Football is officially done now. We won the Premier League at impossible odds and Oliver Skipp has scored an overhead kick. It's going nowhere from here.

Who the fxxk thought Skipp had that in him?

The Hudds forum is a mix of disappointment and bewilderment about Alves's omission from the squad.

One of those 2 clubs is us so he could have stayed with us, I wonder if he'd be more likely to play for us than Hudds.

Is it? He's not got off the bench in the last 4 games. They've picked up 10 points in those games. The 2 prior to that, in which he featured, they lost. I'm not saying that's down to him, but can definitely see it being a reason he's not getting a look in.

Unless QPR score inside the first minute!!! Which would be a banker if they were playing us.

Spin it for positives. If they DON'T start it's because we're putting them out of the side and looking forward to moving on from them. If they DO start it's because they are now being consigned to the cup team, and won't be used to save our season in the league.

Yeah but we could go on a run, get some good results and in no time could muster up as many as 2, maybe even 3 points before the end of the season.

Bit harsh, it's hardly his fault.

I've heard the goalkeepers get one if they pick the ball out of the net 3 times. So it's quite a regular occurrence.
