With hindsight, it would have been good not to lose heavily to Leeds.
Necos stupid decision has really not gone well for us. I think we'd have beaten Palace if he'd let it in. Then we go to Leeds with him playing LB and we're likely much more solid.
Yes but last night is far more on Dyche than Neco.
I think it goes beyond Neco.
But yesterday was a momentum and confidence killer. Dyches pre and in game management as bad as ever.
Meanwhile Leeds are cock a hoop and West Ham are gritty.
Listened to Red Side of the Trent podcast earlier. They think if we don't beat Wolves midweek Dyche needs to go. They were all pretty angry. No talk of who they'd bring in though ...
Forest Focus pundits aren't at all inspired by him, but most think we've got to stick with him till the end of the season and hope he keeps us up then reassess.
I'm not loving him at all. Doesn't feel like there's much of a plan and I don't really see any evidence of intelligence or planning or innovation. Even something simple like maybe we could play with two upfront occasionally, or try three at the back sometimes. I'm not talking inverted full backs or whatever. But his subs always seem to just be like for like. But I'm more in the camp of reassess in the summer if we survive.
I agree that theirs is no point changing at this stage. But the reassessment has been done; there is no scenario that he stays: whether we stay up (miracle) or go down (likely).
Keep us up and preserve some dignity and legacy. That’s it.
I don't think keeping us up would be a miracle.
Leicester lost, West Brom and Oxford both picked up a point.
West Ham's next 6 league matches are Man U, Bournemouth, Liverpool, Fulham, City and Villa.
Leeds have Chelsea, Villa, City, Sunderland, Palace, Brentford.
Palace have Brighton, Burnley, Wolves, Man U, Spurs and Leeds.
We have Wolves, Liverpool, Brighton, City, Fulham and Spurs.
I think any of the three taking more than 6 points from those games is in decent shape.
Also feels like sacking a manager after achieving a miracle would be harsh.
Trying to give a shit. Dyche’s football is painful on the eyes. I really don’t want him here next season. Whichever league we are in.
I don't think there's any way he's here past the end of the season no matter how we finish.
So general consensus is keep him until the end of the season and then get rid.

Totally unless something highly unlikely happens (wins half the remaining games and the Europa league).

As I understand it he wasn't really interested in another management role, and only took this because it's Forest and he was asked to do a short term rescue job.
