Win blows belief into Everton in post-point deduction ‘re-start’ – Dyche

Playing after a 10-point deduction felt like a “re-start”, but Everton’s 1-0 Premier League win at Nottingham Forest blew belief into the club, manager Sean Dyche said on Saturday.

“It’s like another re-start. What do you do until there’s more news?” Dyche told reporters.”

“We spoke with the players and said look, we can’t do anything about it, it’s out of our control.

“They were very open about it. They all agreed that we were ready to take it on and they have done so far.

“First win after the news, it’s very pleasing. It blows belief into the fans, into the group, into the players.

“Because they still have to look at the league table at some point and still have to wait and see what an appeal will bring. So in the meantime we have to get on with business,” he added.
