After the 6 on 1 I didn't feel we were going to score.

From the BBC..
Nine managers have worked under Evangelos Marinakis at Nottingham Forest and Sean Dyche has the best win percentage of any of them.
With regard to the Premier League only, his win percentage is far superior to any of his predecessors.
His final total of 47.1% is also the best win percentage of Dyche's managerial career.
Sean Dyche (47.1%)
Steve Cooper (43.3%)
Martin O'Neill (42.1%)
Mark Warburton (40.5%)
Nuno Espirito Santo (38.4%)
Sabri Lamouchi (36.4%)
Aitor Karanka (31.4%)
Chris Hughton (26.4%)
Ange Postecoglou (0.0%) -
Amusing that for weeks I’ve seen very little support for Dyche across any platform with most realising how bad it all was, but now he’s gone it’s like we’ve lost a peak Clough.
-
That’s cherry picking stats.
If we include all competitions he’s where Warburton is.
-
If anyone knows what the strategy for this club is beyond "FIGHT","SURVIVE","DREAM" (or Live, Laugh, Love, whatever it says on Marinakis' tattoos) I'd love to know
-
Sideline on the players. I watched the "Dyche sacked" edition of the FF podcast and they pointed out something I'd vaguely thought about. McAtee had his best match against Ferencvaros (limited opposition but still) and he's not played one minute in the three subsequent games. That's just bad management.

Telegraph and mail have some interesting pieces behind their paywalls. Nothing groundbreaking but pulling a few strands together.
-
This is the Telegraph one. Mail pretty similar regarding how the players felt.

EPL Manager of the month announced tomorrow. At this rate we’ll be able to have our own competition.
(Be hilarious if Dyche, one of the four nominees, wins it (it will be Carrick)).
-
Little point in carrying on with it if had lost the players, which seems to be the case.
-
Assume Pereira will be obliged to follow the training kit/Paul Smith alternation approach.
-
That's just wrong. He won 10 out of 25 in all competitions, that's 40%. He's won 6 out of 18 in the league, that's 33%.
-
Another random thought. First home league crowd of the season under 30k can't have helped Dyche's cause. Not that people are going to be racing to buy tickets for Fenerbahce under Pereira.
-
I largely agree with all of this, I'm but struggling to get on board as the opening 5 words are a bit too close to being a Crowed House lyric for my liking.

I wonder if Jose Sa was watching our crosses and smiling as the shit came down?
