There's one thing Sean Dyche is not very good at - team selection. To lead young Abbott to the slaughter while ignoring Netz, a seasoned professional, was ridiculous. To not start with Hutchinson and Lucca, the best crosser and best header in the team, was dumb. Team selection was poor. So were the tactics.

There's two things Sean Dyche is not very good at - team selection and tactics. His tactics consisted mainly of mass defensive muddle and aimless long balls. The only decent play came when the players forgot his instructions and did footballery things. Sadly, they also forgot to get "the basics" right.

That's three things Sean Dyche is not very good at - selection, tactics, and "the basics". For a man who is renowned for drilling home the importance of basic skills, his players have evidently not been listening. Actually, basic skills boils down to what Dyche calls "slots". If the players "keep their slots", everything will be ok. He seems to think of footballers as bollards. Presumably the mistakes they made were because last night's bollards were slow and failed to anticipate Leed's attacking moves. As for the attack, well, as usual our set pieces were rubbish and the rest was down to individual skill. "Once you build a defensive platform, then you can let the players play" is Dyche's way of saying there's precious little attack training going on.

That's another thing - training. That's four things Sean Dyche is not very good at - selection, tactics, the basics and training. Sean Dyche reminds us of Chris Hughton, whose training regime was an uninspiring, unsophisticated plod. Similarly, Dyche has no time for fancy dan stuff like effective attacking moves, because that would require some imagination.

That's five things Sean Dyche is not very good at - selection, tactics, the basics, training and imagination. It goes without saying that he is the least imaginative manager in the Premier League. Doing and saying the same things over and over again leaves no room for development and leads to disengagement with players and fans.

Six. That's six things Sean Dyche is not very good at - selection, tactics, the basics, training and engagement. Do you remember how Steve Cooper and Nuno used to engage with the players? Because they had personality, and because they seemed to treat the players like family. All that warmth has gone. Dyche does not seem to engage on an emotional level at all. He does not inspire closeness or confidence. All he inspires is mucous.

That's seven things Sean Dyche is not very good at - selection, tactics, the basics, training, engagement and inspiration. When Forest were two nil down, you might expect a blazing half time pep talk, a change of tactics, even a change of personnel. We had to take the game to Leeds, didn't we? We had to stop them bullying us, didn't we? We got nothing, except the timid concession of a third goal. And all because Dyche is as inspiring as a bag of cement.

And that's it. Seven things Sean Dyche is not very good at - selection, tactics, the basics, training, engagement and inspiration You could add other things, like leadership, or oiling his head with snot, but that would be your business. And besides, one or two good things did arise from the Leed shambles. Netz looked reliable. Lucca scored a beautiful goal. There was some fight left towards the end. And we did think of an amusing headline: Lucca Netz Consolation For Forest.

Yes, we've turned to the dark side...


...And now Wet Hams have beaten The Shy Moor Folk, because EVERYBODY KNOWS NUNO IS A FAR, FAR BETTER MANAGER THAN DYCHE, ALWAYS HAS BEEN, ALWAYS WILL BE.
