"What I didn't want to be was someone who was thrown on to have balls smashed up to them."
Shots fired at Dyche? 
Thought that myself, as his technical ability has never warranted that and he wasn't the best header of the ball (even though he's scored a number of goals from headers)
Remember Graham Taylor talking about this and saying something like because he was always so tall, he used to win headers anyway so never needed to develop that ability, which makes sense. He was still decent at them I think but not the greatest for sure.
Turned out he was good enough at other parts of the game so it wasn't that much of an issue (still love his header in the FA Cup against the Mancs though
) and gave us same great memories - the goal against the Mancs, the Arsenal hat-trick, the overhead kicks against Galatasaray and Bolton and he played his part in some great games, the FA Cup, the Champions League tie against Arsenal, the thrashings of Birmingham and Beskitas. And he would have had an FA Cup final goal had the linesman not ruled his goal out incorrectly. Seems like a great bloke too. Good luck to him.
