I don't think it's worth over analysing what Dyche said to be honest - he's just trying to answer the journo questions as best he can and just focussing on getting as many points on the board as possible. Points deductions shouldn't (and I'm sure don't) change that aim.
Is he suggesting we might get all 10 points back? Sounds like that.
