I guess this is the part that baffles me about this point of view.
We get hit with the largest points deduction in EPL history, and yet we still secure safety with 3 games to spare and will likely finish higher than we did the previous 2 seasons.
How is that not a success?

I am pretty sure Gana would snap up another contract if offer one. it would be fool Hardy not to have hom for at least one more year.
he has been a brilliant players for us - twice!!!

That's remarkable

That's remarkable

Even if the Premier League had taken the 17 points from us that they wanted to we still wouldn't be in the relegation zone today.
Just think about that.

They’ve only under achieved due to city being so consistent 

Detraining is the partial or complete loss of training-induced adaptations, in response to an insufficient training stimulus. Detraining characteristics may be different depending on the duration of training cessation or insufficient training. 
Short term cardiorespiratory detraining is characterised in highly trained athletes by a rapid decline in maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) and blood volume. Exercise heart rate increases insufficiently to counterbalance the decreased stroke volume, and maximal cardiac output is thus reduced. Ventilatory efficiency and endurance performance are also impaired.
These changes are more moderate in recently trained individuals. From a metabolic viewpoint, short term inactivity implies an increased reliance on carbohydrate metabolism during exercise, as shown by a higher exercise respiratory exchange ratio, and lowered lipase activity, GLUT-4 content, glycogen level and lactate threshold. At the muscle level, capillary density and oxidative enzyme activities are reduced. Training-induced changes in fibre cross-sectional area are reversed, but strength performance declines are limited.
Hormonal changes include a reduced insulin sensitivity, a possible increase in testosterone and growth hormone levels in strength athletes, and a reversal of short term training-induced adaptations in fluid-electrolyte regulating hormones.
I thought everyone knew that🙄

Yeah.
Can we also have a Total Cunt button? That would be superb too 👍

Our passing has been woeful long before Dyche even arrived. Maybe the reason we go long so often is because he's not too precious about the football being pretty and because he realises these players aren't great at it.
We're good at doing in small spells but consistently? Nah, someone will eventually play a stupid pass and give possession up.
Do I want it to be better? Of course I do but I've been moaning about it for years so I think it's a little bit unfair to blame Dyche for it.

Overall - all said and done it's a big tick.  
if he and his team sit down over a few beers and they are honest - they will give a huge sigh of relief and say "we got away with one there".  I would like to think they have an idea of the individuals they need to thank for getting the players together. 
i genuinely knew that the team was broken when i watched the game vs Burnley and was absolutely convinced after the Chelsea game. The slap incident and press conference had me shaking my head in disbelief - in a perverse way it's probably helped rescue the season.
I'd love to have been a fly on the wall, dyche I believe had to eat humble pie. The tracksuit for me was a very revealing piece of psychology - "I can change".
it could spell good things going forward if all people concerned learn from it. 

Haf, I see your points. I do. The general style of play for large chunks of the season has been hard to watch, he did lose the dressing room at one point, and he is stubborn to a fault a lot of the time.
However, I would count this season as a wild success. Romey just posted in the longest thread, but when you consider everything happening off the pitch and even STILL we're in 15th with 3 games to spare?
He deserves all the praise for what he's accomplished

Well, he's kept us up with games to spare despite having the equivalent of two wins and two draws taken off what we'd earned.
That will do me.

Klipp Klapp and Salah having words as Salah came on today.
A sinking ship ☺️

If only he'd managed to connect on McNeil's cross early in the game. What a start and confidence-booster that would have been.

The third game of consequence in less than a week. It's hardly surprising we looked tired.

Chermiti has done well. His hold up play is obviously not at DCL's level, but for his age it will only get better. His link up work is good as well, excited to see more of him

That's a great finish as well

Godfrey has also done very well these last few games. Thrilled for him.
Onana you ding dong, you're off in the summer

He's got a wand of a right foot, a real wizard with the ball at his feet.

this game had the making of a back down to earth banana skin after both the physical and mental effort from the Derby. A solid professional performance, 3 points and encouraging performance from our teenage striker and premier league status assured. 
fuck you Premier League.
just need a Qatar Wealth Fund or similar who are dripping with money to swoop in and buy us, as it would round the week off nicely.
