Winning a few, drawing a few and losing a few. But whilst I don’t think the squad is amazing I think they’re better than the tactics let them be. Unfortunately, just like Benitez, when you are a results manager rather than having a style the results dictate every feeling. A marginal loss highlights the absolutely awful approach in the last game and could quite easily have been the case in the last two games. Of course that means it could have been the opposite in yesterday’s game too. Dyche is seeing time out and everyone knows it. I don’t think there’s any scenario if the takeover goes ahead that he or Thelwell stay beyond the year.

Who on Earth takes the job without a massive commitment to squad improvement in January?
