Yes. but i think its been a shock for everyone.

Yep. Not sure what your point is. I agree. Dyche is a brilliant manager with a similar budget to Albion. but he has had his fair share of blips . I'm sure fans have questioned him at various times but he didn't have a board who sacked him, before finding our how he can develop teams and take...

Yes. He's an impressive manager, like Hughton but seems to still be in a job despite Burnley being relegated in their first season in the Prem (under him) and losing 13 out of the first 21 games this season.

You can question our summer signings , be frustrated that we haven't more points than last season and still be bruised from witnessing a 0-5 home defeat v Bournemouth off all teams AND still accept that this season has had plenty of incredible moments, games and memories. And be pleased we're in...

The argument is about making knee jerk decisions about your manager or the progress of a club in a limited time period. Would you have sacked Dyche on the basis he had a shocking half of the season. ?

If winning in cup games or a cup run results in poor performances, how come after the 5th round v Derby we then put in one of our best attacking away performances at Leicester (15 shots, most touches in a penalty box until Arsenal), and then secured the 2 wins v Hudds and Palace.

Well it’s all fine margins. A point here or there but the OP said we’d been poor “much” of the season and implied no progress at all but yep obviously no step change. I just don’t buy the idea that when we’ve won , we don’t really deserve it . Just gives cover for those who imply there’s nothing...

"just how poor much of the season" - all of the season ? from August onwards ? "little progress" ? Has there really been none ? Anywhere ? Again - its fine - everyone acknowledges that that home run was shocking (Burnley, Bournemouth, Cardiff, Saints) the big signings especially Ali J offered...

Did Barber say that ? I think he said that Hughton would have been at the forefront of fixing what went wrong during our spell of poor form. 'Any Premier League manager who goes through a period of losing games without scoring is going to be criticised. "The pressure will build naturally. It...

Sounds like club are prepared to be patient with some of the big signings, unless i'm reading that wrong (Ali J, Locadia ?) although i guess that depends on offers. PS: No chance of CH being a sacred cow on here.

yes. WE KNOW. Come off it JRB - this was one of the games of the season. I bloody loved it. I bet you did too :)

Its been a long day.

Minutes before October: Bissouma: 4 starts, 2 subbed on, 1 bench - 384 minutes Montoya: 6 starts, 1 bench - 90 minutes Bernardo: 1 start 6 on the bench - 350 minutes Ali J: 0 starts, 6 subbed on, 1 on the bench - 98 minutes

Ha ! Sadly I do . For the benefit of everyone i'll keep to myself. :)

Of Ali J, Montoya, Bissouma and Bernardo - who hadn’t made their debut in August this season?
