McNeil has become their key creator, helping them to a 2-0 win over Ipswich on Saturday.

“I made a change, I felt the technical side of our game wasn't where it should be,” said Dyche post-game.

“I've known Dwight a long time. The defensive side of the game, he's got to learn for that position. But we know his offensive game is very good.

“Trying to find that balance, I speak about it all the time, is the hardest thing in football.

“(Having) enough quality to go forward and open teams up but still the players who can be resolute and work hard enough to make sure you don't open up too much.”
