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.

I like the look of this new striker that's come on.

All things considered, a relatively comfortable win. Safety assured, 4 wins from 5, 2 more winnable games coming up.
UTFT indeed

Lots to be positive about in his performance today.  Against a tough backline too.

Genuinely excited by chermiti. 19..... unbelievably strong for his age, great feet, can link up, superb touch and awareness. 

KEANE UP FRONT WHERE HE BELONGS

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

I love chermiti - there I've said it. 

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

When you look at the reply it was a really slick finish, to get it through the throng, it was actually quite a tricky path it has to take.

That's a great finish as well

Chermiti can play 

Well your tone has gone from "hang him from his ginger bollocks, he's a bully, he's the worst" (paraphrasing, not looking for direct quotes) to patting him on the back for a job done after a couple of wins and saying he'll have done his job... But you're right, you're usually frustratingly stuck to your position  don't get me wrong, this version of posting is a lot more desirable!
Fair enough but that's more appealing to mercenaries, no? We've seen that enough over the last few years and that's more of a worrying proposition in my view; it's a large part of of the reason we are where we are. But we've done that part to death already.
See, I do see us needing him for another 2-3 years, unfortunately. Not because I want him to even though I think he could do more and deserves that chance. There's so much still going on which is going to take a lot longer than 12-14 months. When I've done Continuous Excellence implementations, for example, the sponsors and board understood that to change mentality whilst rolling with life's punches was a 10-20 year project. Partly due to external factors, but mostly down to staff churn - very hard to change a mindset of a group if you keep chopping and changing the mission and staff, almost impossible if you're constantly switching the team lead.

I'm shocked ...

There's going to be a lot of fun to be had when they hire Arse Slot as their new manager.

Brentford are nothing to fear and never have been.
Go out there and give everything, that's all I ask. If we get the result then great but I just want another committed performance.

i actually think we have been playing like we did in the derby for much of the first half or even two third of the season. I think we have only really played poorly for the second half of the games in the 13 game run without a win. When 'not getting a win' was becoming a bit of bigger thing game on game. 
We are not great when we have to dominate the ball against poorer teams at home, will all are in agreement that need to improve, but there is definately a foundation to work from. Even with a 6-0 drubbing the other week, only the three title chasing teams have conceding fewer goals than us. That's something that shouldn't be ignored. 
 3 wins in 4 and 1 defeat in 5, has us in the top 4 of the recent form table.
A endless relegation battle has not been the real reflection of this Dyche team.

We've won as many games as Brighton this season by the way.
Just putting that out there.

Exactly. I'm thinking of Dyche as a more palatable and capable Fat Sam. Pure practicality to solve immediate issues, that's it. We don't know if Dyche can be more expansive because he's never had a budget or the squad. When he has he signed Defour, so I think he wants to be more than he is, he just sticks with what he knows for now because that's the best this squad is capable of since they've continually failed at the basics for large parts of the season (still an improvement on the previous 2 seasons!)

Well you've done it now

You mean like, "Very optimistic...seen some progressive stuff and a real reason to believe he can go up a level"? 

I hear what you are saying & I agree to an extent.
I have my issues with him & after Chelsea I found myself focusing on my issues with him more than what I think he does well.
Stepping back from it all though, he has actually done a far better job than we expected.
As for his style - he has never been in a position to build a squad, Burnley were skint & we haven’t given him anything to build anything. If a Martinez type coach took over Burnley before Dyche, they would go down. Kompany tried to play expansive football with them in the prem & they have been battered.
I’m not saying Dyche can do it but he deserves to be given a chance & hopefully these last 4 games he can try to get the team player a nicer brand of football.
