What is going on? Points Deduction Appeal | Dyche Presser Reaction

Ian Croll and Connor O’Neill are recalled to the starting lineup for today’s Royal Blue Podcast as they discuss the latest on the points deduction and the 777 takeover.
Also, Sean Dyche spoke to the media this afternoon ahead of his side’s game with Brighton on Saturday. The lads breakdown what the gaffer had to say with the latest on the appeal and injuries on the agenda.
The Blues are back in action after a disappointing showing on Monday night. A late header from Amadou Onana rescued a 1-1 draw for Everton against Crystal Palace, but the performance was under-par and a huge opportunity was missed to pull clear of relegation trouble.
Still, Luton Town's loss to Liverpool on Wednesday means Dyche's side go into the weekend outside the relegation zone. And while they have not won since December in the top flight, last season they produced a remarkable display to triumph 5-1 at the Seagulls.
That game will no doubt be one of the talking points today, not to mention the ongoing wait for a result of Everton's appeal against their punishment for breaches of spending rules.

Well said Connor

[@williewilycat9675]

Small knackered squad,short on quality!...we're struggling,I just hope positively we get a lot of the 10 points back!..desperately needed!💥

[@iancroll]

Thanks for the comment. Desperately need a win. Hoping we can pick 3 points up today at Brighton.

[@hansfyhrqvist7734]

We can say that especially the fact that the decision to Everton's appeal against the points deduction dragging on, is now also seemingly affecting our performances on the pitch. So we can argue that the Premier League, and its Appeal Board, are now obliged, factually and morally, to return at least the majority of those 10 deducted points.

[@iancroll]

We need a decision ASAP. It’s definitely not helping.

[@neilclark9443]

It’s so hard to watch sometimes,I know Sean settled us ,but it’s hard watch

[@iancroll]

It’s definitely been a hard watch since the turn of the year. I was really disappointed with the performance and result against Palace. The manager must take responsibility. It wasn’t good enough. Fingers crossed for 3 points today.

[@theblues8840]

The stats show we had by far the better chances and more of them aswell, enough to win the game but that wasn’t a good performance IMO. Some of those chances we missed again were awful

[@iancroll]

Palace were the ideal team to play in my opinion. Didn’t do ourselves justice. Very poor and it’s on the manager for me.

[@garycoffeebum3450]

Might only get 3 chances need to take em .....3 chances 3 goals....

[@simonc009]

Dyche Ball is built on not conceding goals and relying on goals to be scored from set pieces. That will only take you so far. We need to be scoring and making more opportunities in open play. The transition between defence and attack is pedestrian and very predictable. We also like to counter attack so when teams make us have the majority of possession we really struggle. We should be winning more games at home and Dyche needs to rotate the squad more because you can see some players are running on empty. It doesn't help when Dyche ultimately thinks picking 2 goalkeepers on the bench is better than getting one of young lads from the under 21's or 18's. Surely we have some players who are deserving of a chance.

[@iancroll]

My concern is that Dyche may know how to set up a team not to lose, but he doesn’t know how to set up to win. Not ideal. He needs to find solutions otherwise we’re in trouble.

[@steevenfrost]

We can beat Brighton.I think we'll get something.

[@iancroll]

I’d probably take a point now but Brighton definitely not the team they used to be. It will be interesting to see our performance away from home.

[@JG-us9lu]

Nothing we don't know.

[@nigelbaldwin1038]

Sensible views chaps . From a neutral fan. Unlike like those 🤡 on toffee tv.

[@iancroll]

Thanks for the feedback, Nigel. Fingers crossed for a win today against Brighton.

[@nigelbaldwin1038]

@@iancroll To be honest I would prefer you to lose, as it will affect the 🐝💤 position.

[@user-qg9bk7wb9q]

What a mess this club is god help us tomorrow against Brighton at least we will still be out the bottom 3 for a couple of weeks anyway

[@iancroll]

We’re not in a good situation but the best way to give us a boost is to win. Starting today. Fingers crossed.

[@kevingill648]

DCL is woeful! STOP playing him and give Beto a good run.

[@iancroll]

Hi Kevin. Thanks for the comment. I think with Doucoure back in contention, it’s vital we give our top two the opportunity to get us back in form.

[@kevingill648]

Hi, I think Doucoure is our best player and it's vital he stays fit, but it doesn't look like DCL is going to get any better, we need goals now not when it's too late. I just think Beto needs to play more he's never had a good chance.

[@iancroll]

@@kevingill648 DCL is definitely running out of chances. Despite not scoring AGAIN against Palace, I feel his performance justified another start for Brighton. As mentioned in one of the pods this week, there is a thought Brighton could be the team he likes playing against 🤞🏻

[@kevingill648]

Hope you're right! COYB :)@@iancroll

[@gavincunningham4598]

Dcl is crap 50 premiership goals in 8 years ...wow

[@neilclark9443]

How’s young starting in front Harrison 🤬
