Luck plays a roll, but you also make your own luck to an extent


Ashley Young was decent in the first half of the season, reliable, but if he hadnt been, I'm not sure dyche would ever have thrown Jake OBrien in at right back

Where as now we have a 6ft7 relatively quick and agile right back.
Kopite mate of mine who watches us a reasonable amount says OBrien is a monster and keeps asking where he was for the first half of the season.

Moyes rolled the dice there (or was it Baines?) and it worked.
Dyche didnt roll the dice.


This was always my issue, Dyche stuck to one thing, he had limited players, injuries etc, but he never really tried to use what he had, differently.

Sometimes it takes fresh eyes.
Arguably, he was let down by his coaches too, as coaches should always be pushing managers to look from a different angle.


I'm glad he left when he did
I dont think he'd have improved, and though I suspect now we'd still have stayed up cos the bottom 3 are just in freefall, it would have been a lot uglier and would have tarnished things more.

He got out before it turned hateful
