Now notwithstanding that being in the topflight is all very exciting Dycheball has in the main been a severe challenge over the years - entertainment value close to nil you’d get almost as much joy from watching us on the old ceefax half pished … Really? 2 promotions, one as champions? 23 undefeated, finishing 7th, playing in Scotland, Turkey and Greece?

TheHistoryTeacher Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 How many home games did Dyche the genius win during 20/21 and 21/22 ? The 17/18 season has been and gone . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHistoryTeacher Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 Oh and when you talk about our brief European campaign - did you enjoy the bit when the master tactician picked a weakened team in every Euro game ? A great tactical decision that saw the team that finished 7th inspired to sit in the bottom three of the league for much of 2018/19 … and don’t even mention the domestic cups - nothing but a complete shambles 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Upside Down Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 Wow @longsiders1882is getting a bit of a thrashing over here. No need to get so wound up about Dyche now @TheHistoryTeacher, he's long gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True of course but we’ve spent quite a lot of years at this level - that is all I meant .. I’ll rephrase it as I think we’ve probably found our natural level notwithstanding one of two extremes One being outstanding management The opposite being what we all fear most financial meltdown the world has changed for town clubs whatever our past might be and I did say ‘probably’ I think our time outside the top two divisons amounts to 18 seasons and for you lads it is I think just 6 ? Not many years for the two clubs combined since 1888 … Edited July 2, 2022 by TheHistoryTeacher 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattyblue Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 Do Bournemouth ‘belong’ as a PL/top end Championship club? Do Fulham? Do Watford? Brentford?

SIMON GARNERS 194 Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 History Teacher is correct if he looks from a history perspective...both Rovers and Burnley are very rarely out of the top two divisions....a proud record for both Clubs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What your view on Kompany's appointments and the signings you make so far? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaddyrovers Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 24 minutes ago, goozburger said: I'm firmly in the camp of winning football, regardless of style. Whilst I'm not holding it against JDT wanting to entertain the fans and play an effective passing game, it has to produce points. It rarely does, unfortunately, because we don't have the guile to carry it out, but JDT is a new man with different ideas, and deserves his chance to make it work. Something that's nice to watch, such as fast and incisive passing, would be a bonus. As long as it wins matches or gets you results that exceed your expectations. I think that sort of playing style has a certain shelf life and after a while you get bored of watching it. I'm looking forward to seeing us JDT and how he will play 24 minutes ago, goozburger said: @longsiders1882 will surely correct me here because I don't know too much about the goings on, but my gut feeling is that Dyche had far less control over matters last season than under the previous regime. I think that's why they faltered, even if they were making £10m+ signings for exciting overseas players. I think Dyche is a man who, if given his way and his advice heeded to the full, you can grind out results to keep in the Premier League. I posted a number of articles over the number of behind the scenes changes including to the scouting and medical side of the club. When he was sack, some of players agreed with that decision. Think Mike Jackson did well as caretaker and I'm surprised he won't be part of Kompany's first team staff there I just think Dyche team was found out and lack of investment over the last 3 years plus not adapt to plan B at times cost them their place in the first team. 32 minutes ago, goozburger said: Sometimes it's just time to go, and I think Dyche's time, as resourceful a manager as he is, was up. He'll have no problems getting a job in a high-end Championship side, and possibly even a lower end Premier League side. I don't see him getting a PL job but I can see one of the championship team who are tip for promotion hunt then struggle going for him. I think it will be between him and Rooney for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roversfan99 Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 Is it a modern day phenomenon to put so much focus on "style of play?" Has anyone ever come off a Rovers game "bored" after a win? Or entertained following a loss? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He won't get that with Samba ahead of him. Unless it's some sneaky move to get Premier League wages and be shipped out on loan to a Championship club. Samba is leaving although Henderson has joined on loan from United this morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or entertained following a loss? very much a modern day phenomenon,the media and younger generation of fans are all over it,allardyce era was the first time i heard it,all about performance over result,which to me is ****** stupid,whats the point of playing football if you lose 3-2 every week,the very essence of it proved what a load of shite it is when big sam was forced out of everton for getting results in an ugly way,look at the state of the club now,you can kick the ***** out of the opposition and launch the ball 70 yards every time you get it but if you get points i could`nt care less,i bet cambridge fans under john beck did`nt complain when they booted theirselves up to the championship play offs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All this revisionist bullshit about how ‘miserable’ *EVERYBODY* was trudging up LBR (after another comfortable Premier League Ewood win under Sam). Its professional football not Cirque du Soleil.
