Brentford…And our players (almost everyone of them) are more than good enough to play the ball on our own half. We don’t need to hoof it every time. Remember when we were 11 against 10 in Brighton and the players were still told to stand deep and defend. We should have kept the ball when we could.
at present ndiaye is our *only* player with flair. Branthwaite will be back in soon, too. then what? who else should he be playing?
the reason we're playing the way we are is due to the squad. that will take years to fix, imo, and changing a manager isn't going to change what the squad is capable of.
the last time we had a team competing for Europe with any regularity was under Moyes - and that was built on the back of 1-0, hard fought games where we usually defended for our lives. it was only in the last few seasons of his tenure that we started playing with any level of style and even then it was built on top of solid, hard working defending.
personally, I hope we stick with Dyche and give thelwell time to develop the squad.
that said, I think we'll see him gone under new management as a statement of their intent. but if it doesn't come with new players to match, it'll be pointless.
