Fantastic result last night, still not the prettiest of football but the energy and determination was there.
Thought Tarks was superb at the back, seemed to get on everything. And I don't know if anyone else noticed but he had a little word with DCL before the corner came in. Think it was along the lines of "I will block this fecker give you a free header".
As for DCL, well it just shows you when fit how good this lad is. Up against two defenders and he bossed them all night. Imagine how good he would be with another striker alongside him.
People saying we have poor players and that's why the manager can't get a tune out of them. Well they were singing last night.

Yes mate Tarks played a blinder with the corner, did you see him push Dick van dyke out of the way ?.

Stop with the entertaining pretty football. It is a very competitive sport, in it to win it. Stop the opposition playing, get in their faces and create the space for yourselves. We have the players to do that but Dyche has been far to wary. Hopefully after last night he doesn't revert to chucking a couple of handbags and sitting back.

Not really sure what you mean?

All the complaining about boring football and not entertaining. The idea is to win or not lose. I don't give a monkeys as long as my side give their all. They gave their all and won 2-0, it wasn't pretty, it was job done.
{Ed025's Note - i can agree to a certain extent DFS but tell me this mate, where was that fight and determination against the likes of Chelsea away and Luton and Palace at home?, or is it ok to just turn up for the derby game and everything is forgiven?, yes it was a great performance and a great result but that does not for me just wipe the slate clean, the abject performances well outweigh the good ones and even though we can breathe a sigh of relief we all know this debacle starts again next season..

It’s been “boring” football all season. Yes the idea is to win, something we haven’t done enough of with this style of play.
We are predictable and one dimensional, we rely on set pieces and the better teams know that.
When I played it was all about pass and move, support your man and don’t give the ball away cheaply. And we won our fair share of matches.
Football is an entertainment sport and supporters pay a lot of money to be entertainined. Carry on with this hoofball and you will lose those supporters.
Nothing I have seen shows me that this is the best way to play.
6.) 26 Apr 2024 08:55:58
Nil satis hoof it up to them.
Dyche likes attack and defence, sadly for us he prefers the defence bit more.
7.) 26 Apr 2024 08:23:41
ED, the subject was this obsession (perceived) with it's boring, not entertaining. It is fing entertaining when you win 1-0 is my point. Entertaining when my side give their all. The aim is to win, failing that don't lose. Liverpool could very easily have won that game, they had the chances but our lot put it all out there and got a deserved result. That was not pretty football but it was football. Boring boring Arsenal every day of the week for me. Oh and Dyche is not the man to take us forward, those changes were forced on him. Just see what side he puts out against Brentford.
{Ed025's Note - my point DFS is that yes it was a great result and performance and yes i was delighted, but lest we forget that the majority of the season has been turgid horrible soulless performances and if you are happy scraping draws at home and playing boring football then that is up to you mate, i expect better..
8.) 26 Apr 2024 11:38:27
When 'you' played Woburn you didn't give a stuff about how you won, I guarantee that. I certainly didn't care how it went in or who I left on the ground (nor they me) . These lads that we berate every week, would leave us armchair critics for dead over two strides. We say they are not trying or boring, the opposite is true.
9.) 26 Apr 2024 11:40:07
Course I am not happy scraping draws but I am bloody ecstatic not losing.
{Ed025's Note - my bar is set a bit higher DFS and to be perfectly honest i expect to be entertained, after all this is EFC whos motto is Nil Satis Nisi Optimum mate, not grind out a result and be biting your fingernails to hopefully get a result against the likes of Sheffield Utd and Luton, i would like to think our club is better than that, imo it will be the same rinse and repeat scenario for the forseeable future unless we change the mindset of the players and we get a manager who can coach these lads to aim a bit higher than hoping for survival, everyone to their own though i expect..
10.) 26 Apr 2024 17:01:08
You couldn’t be more wrong Dfs. We were coached to make the ball do the work, and we played that way.
15 Apr 2024 21:08:17
Guarantee if Palmer played for us Dyche wouldn't play him.
1.) 15 Apr 2024 21:38:33
???.
06 Apr 2024 17:02:54
Well we won. That's about all I can say about that.
{Ed025's Note - i just cant watch us NFM, my stomach goes in knots and i must owe our swear box about £100,000 mate, football is supposed to be enjoyable but for me its a bloody nightmare..
1.) 06 Apr 2024 17:07:30
Spot on lads.
2.) 06 Apr 2024 17:09:08
Rubbish team selection, rubbish hoofball tactics, rubbish performance, rubbish subs (why was Dacoure left on when he was having a poor game? ) , lucky result - Dyche out!
3.) 06 Apr 2024 17:16:50
3 mile walk and been asleep till now. 1-0 I will take all day long. The bloke is still a tosser though. Looking at stats Youngs' are the worse. No fing imagination. Fingers crossed for a slap on the wrist or suspended. Heard they argued double jeopardy, let's see how that goes.
4.) 06 Apr 2024 17:17:54
A win is a win but I agree Ed we make it hard for ourselves and I s%#t myself every game. Can't believe Luton won as well. Hopefully Forest get beat.
{Ed025's Note - but if we survive will it be the same crap again next season TB?, it seems that we are on the back foot from the get go and i cant watch that week in week out mate, yes our players are poor but a lot of that is down to tactics and lack of ambition from the manager, my only hope is that we survive and get rid of that dinosaur Dyche who has basically turned us into Burnley, mind you thats a terrible slur on them..
5.) 06 Apr 2024 17:29:14
I attribute today's win not to dickhead Dyche, but Guernsey Blue. Before the game the players agreed to give him a win and get his prediction correct (for once) . Well done GB ?.
6.) 06 Apr 2024 17:44:21
Awful game but cheers Nick.
7.) 06 Apr 2024 17:47:33
Ed 025: I thought you liked SD?
{Ed025's Note - he was doing well Skylark for what was at his disposal but since the new year he has lost the plot mate, he has turned us into Burnley and sets us up not to lose rather than to win, i dont think the players are happy either going by their demeanor and he needs to go imo..
8.) 06 Apr 2024 17:54:53
Totally agree Ed. Burnley played better football. All we did was lump it up for Lewin to win the header or hit it long for the oldest player on the pitch to have a foot chase. Harrison whilst he's not my favourite or has done anything for a starting place looks better in that system (and that's saying something) .
Gomez is definitely our best ball player and I thought he was trying but with no pace or movement off the ball what is he supposed to do.
We just need to stay in the league this season even by having these poor quality games and review in the summer. Only thing is that we'll keep him. ??.
{Ed025's Note - lets hope not mate..
9.) 06 Apr 2024 17:56:44
3 points was vital today so that was pleasing. That's about all that can be said about the game really. Started brightly without really threatening but that was about it.
Young was disappointing, maybe him starting will give Harrison a kick up the backside that he needed. Beto, is that man really a pro footballer? I wince whenever he starts or is about to be brought on. I like his work ethic but that's all the praise I can give him.
Gomes had a decent game and JB was superb yet again.
I suppose at this point of the season I'm just happy getting 3 points, the way we play is incidental. Let's face it, considering how we've been this season, we aren't suddenly going to start battering teams by 3 or 4 goals. Christ, how good would it be to score 2 goals in a game?
10.) 06 Apr 2024 19:18:46
Sd has to go either way at end of season doucs was dead on his feet young was offering nothing yet again! Burnley down To ten men and left it till the 82nd minute to Make any changes and still left doucs
On and took off our main threat in dcl
He blows my mind week in week out I’m sick to death of the boring long ball no imagination rubbish we are forced to put up with.

Think you’ve already given us the answer Nick.
15 Apr 2024 21:02:09
It’s because a week goes by and you forget how crap we really are.
15 Apr 2024 19:55:20
Dyche playing for another nil nil, till we concede and then fall apart. 4-0 Chelsea.
06 Apr 2024 14:39:34
Your rely naive if you think footballers are loyal to clubs. The fact that you can count on one hand how many stay for any length of time shows that. Kiss the badge and move on.
06 Apr 2024 14:33:46
Well I hope you’re right BR. But again a negative team selection for me.
