Dyche would've kept 2022/23 Europa squad up Dyche would've easily got 2023/24 promotion with our partially Europe squad Dyche would've made a lot better fist of getting 2024/25 to 40pts, wouldn't have made so many disastrous non-contributing signings either and could've got over Spurs' 39pts The game hasn't moved on from doing the basics right, and when you attack it's best to attack before defences get 'set' with a Pearson/Ranieri/Rodgers 4 or 5 passes up the pitch, instead of 30 passes from DM to CB and back again

52:48 The cursed percentage. Cool There are some downsides to Dyche, but he'd leave us in a better place than he finds us A not bad record of playing youth among experienced players and a solid Championship promotion record Doesn't seem to suffer fools gladly either Kind of a bit of everything our squad needs at the minute

4-1-4-1 became easily combatted Opposition just swarm that single pivot, whether he wins the ball or receives it from defence Makes anything other than long ball under pressure almost impossible, long ball under pressure is basically gifting them the ball If there's 2 players there, then it alleviates the issue somewhat

They're playing Leicester O2 Academy in November on a Saturday night They've sold 500 of 1,600 tickets so far

Winks, Ndidi, Soumare, Baybrooke & Skipp Can't see it, maybe we could progress it if Soumare is lined up for a sale, but we've struggled to get rid before, last thing we need is still to be paying half his wages while his contract winds down

Great signing video Ps. The Mercians are an unsigned Leicester band They've got a gig at the o2 Academy Leicester in November, on a Saturday night They've sold about 500 tickets out of 1,600 so far https://linktr.ee/themercians

What's to gain by doing it now? Seems like the most counter-productive thing in these last couple of weeks of the season where promotion is the only thing that can be impacted (either positively or negatively) People will always have a go at perceived lack of effort by players or by a manager repeating tactics that hadn't really worked for 3 months If we've turned the corner as it appears, then attention will turn to board when the impact is decided

1hr less in the pub for Liverpool & Utd fans, while still trying to keep it as prime time as possible Which has dictated other kick off times

We won't be signing anyone , never mind 'upgrading' Stephy We'll likely still have to sell, even if promotion

There's no easy games now Unless you're playing mid-table sides on the beach Brum, Millwall & Plymouth - All easy on paper, all fighting relegation and be very difficult to beat at this time of season Anyone who thinks playing a side fighting against relegation in the final few games of season is easy hasn't watched much football, (or anything other than us last season)

Not harsh at all. Even not comparing him to the great RP, he's a bad player. Just not good enough for a top 6 championship side IMO However there needs to be a reckoning with the average wage at 90k/week We can't have people making the numbers up, that job falls to the U-23s

The usual suspects need managing - Vardy, Ndidi, Ricardo Fatawu may benefit from a rest But we HAVE to win, play the best available team & when the next game comes around we'll play the best available team for that one too

100% this Imagine compounding our issues Should we not achieve promotion however…

Yes, Ndidi looks unfit given he's not played for months but those thru-balls were massively over hit, almost like clearances Fats constantly cutting-in is our biggest source of possession turnover Cutting-in wingers without overlapping fullbacks is odd tactic IMO (moreso when you don't mix it up). When you cut-in, you have the opposition fullback, winger, DM & CB all to beat
