Our next ten premier league games are six at home and four away till end of December
What would your expectations be of a points tally from those games and do you think dyche can gain enough points from them?
29 Oct 2025 22:48:57
Honestly, I've just checked them and I'd say 11 points optimistically, maybe a few less or a few more. All of the sides are obviously in better form than ourselves barring Wolves. ?.
30 Oct 2025 00:44:51
No more than 12 points.
30 Oct 2025 04:12:02
Would hope for points away to Wolves and Everton, at home, how the supporters respond is important, too many performances like against Bournemouth and it will became toxic very quickly.

Stokey will analyse it for us in his own style
You know how it works. Ask him the time and he'll tell you how to make watch ?.

It doesn't matter how many points you think dyche will get lol. Keep moaning about dyche I'm sure there's a lot of fans like myself that would of wanted a better manager in. but it's not happening either the managers we wanted are in work at the minute or the decent managers that are out of work wouldn't touch the job with a bargepole.
so I'm just happy we have someone who's stepped in for now. and it's the players that are not playing because of there heads being turned and not stepping up that's the biggest problem. and edu ?.

Including the 5 we've already got and based on current form I think we'll be on a combined total of 10 points. Because at the moment we can't score and we can't defend. Which, in any league especially the Premier League, is a recipe for disaster. These problems have been there since after the second league match.

Thanks for the replies and ravers I believe you'll be the closest
To me we have to beat leeds, wolves and Everton h and get the odd draw for dyche to be here at Xmas and my explanation if saying he'll be gone
If we don't win any of those home games and any of them become heavy defeats, the crowd want him gone and will turn on marinakis in the next few weeks
Going to games I see the friction and arguments behind the stands and never witnessed what postacoglou had to endure on his second home game in all my years of going, so don't expect patience from those fans anymore.
Let's hope he has instilled some confidence and self belief in the players and got them organised for Saturday and finds a formula to work or like it or not he will be gone just like ange and could be in less time
The squad has enough quality not to be in this position and only the coaching staff can sort out a way of getting results from the players
End of the day the buck stops with the manager/ coach.

The buck stops with the players. The rot set in last April, we have seen Nuno and AP go. Views on each of these two vary but for some reason the players stopped playing with their usual verve. Now we have SD. Many on this site believe he has the character needed to get the players on track.
I can’t think of another manager that would have a better effect. If SD fails we are relegated - end of. The players will have let him and the other two down in a big way and they deserve relegation.

If Dyche 'implodes', and he goes DTP, what would effect would losing three managers swiftly have on the players? I think they would lose all motivation, even in the Prem and just fade away until the season closes. Can you have 4 managers in a season, (and I mean season- both meanings! )
30 Oct 2025 11:27:18
15 points.
30 Oct 2025 11:37:01
Nuno it doesn't explain thr performance against brentford and Palace or the first half against betis
My own view is the sides being put out are unbalanced and players who are out of form continuing to be picked.
We've had a problem for along time now where we are OK if we score first especially early, if we concede especially early there seems to be no way back
Individual errors are costing us dearly aswell
My opinion of dyche is he likes a 6 footer in every position and rely far to heavily on scoring from set pieces, we haven't got anyone other than luiz capable of taking a set piece and that's a major problem.
If dyche can't adapt his tactics to the squad we have then he won't succeed.
The forwards we have won't thrive on long balls punted upfield by sels, they need playing in and crosses from the wings, that's how I see it not working with dyche, but I hope he proves me wrong.

I've heard Brendan Rogers is now available and not in a job.
It isn't impossible that we will have had 4 managers by the end of the January window, which just shows how pathetic the players have been for some time. We only lost one key player from a squad that made 2nd place last season at one point.
People always blame changing bosses on bad form, but it is party bad form that leads to changing managers too. So worrying.
