The People's Forum: But that's his strength. Think about it in trading terms. He has a strategy. It works. It looks

horrible. Changing it might improve things. But it might make things worse. His job is to come 17th. We have a few players that we appreciate, and Brantwaithe and Ndiaye, but really our squad is an assembly of spare parts.

You don't want to be the sort of trader that loses money being long so goes short and loses money being short so goes long. Or the sort of Moneyball guy who trusts the data but does a gut check every two minutes.

I would prefer a better manager. I can't watch us. But I sort of get why Dyche does what he does, and why it works, and why it alienates fans.

To switch system or tactic. His answer, when he does react, is a like for like substitution.

....was to let them try to play out, and then win the ball off them in the attacking third. Remember Arteta ditched Ramsdale because he didn't think he could do this. They looked shaky, and it was an obvious tactic to use.

Obviously that results in a lot of passes for them in their own half, but on a fair few occasions our hunting in packs did create turnovers, which obviously we wasted.

But the idea that it was a negative approach is something I fundamentally disagree with.

Sadly I think any attempt to look at the situation with nuance is just shouted down right now.

So he's toast sooner or later. Barring an unexpected transfer window we'll be back here in a few months having the same debates, if he is replaced soon. Moyes or anyone else will set these players up in largely the same way.
