Yes, you are being unreasonable
The last 25 years should have been enough to teach you that last season was the exception, not the norm.
Yes, we could push on, and we still can. We can with this manager, but we may not. And if we don't, you can bet we will try someone else.
But having four managers in a season is the most monumentally fucking stupid thing anyone on this forum has ever suggested in it's history. I wonder if you have actually stepped back and considered how staggering ludicrious it would be to do that and expect us to survive?
We would fucking deserve to go down. We would deserve to go down two divisions with that.
The time for the manager's future conversation is in late May/Early June. Every point is 100% valid there. Had we had that discussion after 6 months of Nuno, I would have been ambivalent about losing him
It is not remotely a valid conversation right now. In the last 5 games we have lost three on the pitch, lost one on penalties and won the one that absolutely needed winning. We were great against Man City, shite at Villa and Everton, evens at Fulham but not good enough to be better than that.
I'll hear lots of bad words about Dyche. His subs are all at half time or not at all, his refusal to make subs at key times of the second half costs us.
We aren't good enough yet when losing and facing a low block. Not his fault- we were no better under Nuno
But we are conceding first too much. Again, we started doing that under Nuno but it's up to Dyche now to find a solution.
We have no pace, Jesus isn't getting better and that's coaching, we aren't winning enough duels and certainly not enough headers.
We win more when we play well and have more intensity, but that isn't all the time.
Not enough of them go forward and not enough of them commit or just put it in the box. We were actually very good in some moves last night; against a mid-low block that was actually a good 2nd half and ET attacking performance for the most part.
Four different managers have failed to get MGW to shoot well, and three have failed with Anderson. That is frustrating and is Dyche's job now.
I fear we may see Dominguez on the wing again and I'd have that as an automatic sacking offence.
But I do think there is a very good chance he will keep us up, and that will certainly be the case it we can sign a reasonably competent goalscorer- even someone who comes in and gets 5-8 in the second half of the season will make a huge difference.
In that sense, the time for that discussion is May/June, categorically not now. The very last thing we need is random foreigner who has been sacked at Olympiacos, or done ok in Brazil, neither of whom have the first clue about the Premier League and neither have any time to instill what is needed on the players. It would be a catastrophe.
Erm...
