What an absolute prick, blaming a loss 3days later on the City game especially when he’s been shown to have been wrong, I hope they go down and Stavros bins him.

Only got themselves to blame for harping on about it. Accept the loss and move on instead of whinging about perceived injustices and then it will be forgotten about and you can start afresh.

What I don't understand is why any pro club in this country - all four divisions - would want to hire someone to coach a team to avoid playing football and avoid defeat. Considering the millions of guys that play football in this country, all pro players represent a microscopic slice of the total number of players. All pro players are elite to some extent or other - in this context, as well as having a City seasoncard I watch some of the clubs seven levels down the pyramid. By any reasonable metric, some of these players are outstanding - wingers and goalpoachers that rarely miss. So, in the Prem, why are relatively outstanding players with real skill and mentality, coached to play anti football. Surely all pro players want to play football that shows everyone just how good they are? And here we are - clubs paying the Dyche's of this world millions of pounds to play like San Marino. With San Marino et al, it's understandable when half the team are postmen, butchers, bakers and candlestick makers, for them to park the bus. But for clubs in the Prem (they've all won the Lottery with billionaire/multibillionaire owners) it's pathetic to organise super wealthy players into a San Marino formation.

Great post. Always thought Dyche was okay, got teams punching above their weight and so on against the odds. However this Forest team has got a better level of technical ability but he still seems to want to drag them back to the dark ages. Seems like he’s feeling the pressure to me already.
