If Sean Dyche was manager instead of Patrick Vieira with the same players would we be higher up the league?

I think I know why you're posing the question, although my first reaction was one of disbelief. You are suggesting Dyche might instill more resilience and better organisation in dealing with set pieces etc. Well, I for one would not want Dyche anywhere near Selhurst. And I don't think for one minute that our results would be better. Our transformation under PV has been remarkable in so many ways. We play some lovely football and the team is developing well. Great new, young players coming through and the future looks very bright. Today was tough, but realistically I suspect very few of us expected us to beat them. So, no, I don't think Dyche would have us any further up the league. I'm firmly behind PV.....for the time being!

I think that we would probably have a similar number of points -

Pointless question. Dyche isn't our manager and never will be and if he was, he wouldn't of signed the same players.

I think if the club done everything fans on here think we should, we would be top on 69 points with a goal difference of 50, Its so simple, dont know why viera just doesn't read the hol.

The reason i asked is are we trying to get to a place and style that is just out of our reach, i find it hard to watch when the keeper rolls it to the CD and then back to the keeper, do we have the players to do that, or is it better to play longer, get the ball wide to olise or Shlupp/wilf and get more crosses in as we have 3 6fo0t plus centre forwards, isn't that playing to our strengths

Fair question, and yeah I think it's certainly feasible that we could have collected one or two more points this season under Dyche, or under Hodgson for that matter. It's equally possible that we'd have the same number of points, or possibly a few less than under Vieira of course. We'll never know. What I feel certain of is that none of these managers would have got us into Europe (not the posh end anyway) and none of them would have got us relegated. Beyond those two extremes, all that matters is how we play (i.e that watching the team isn't purgatory), and even if the way Vieira plays could somehow be proved to cost us a few points compared to Dyche, I wouldn't change it. I don't really care where exactly in midtable we finish, so what's a few points between friends?
