Ronald enjoyed his first derby. Actually, I thought it was pretty good too. All the more because it wasn't nasty [or the hour and a bit I was able to see] and both teams had their moments. Our goals were actually of excellent quality. I wish commentators wouldn't keep saying they are just like training ground goals. Of course they're like training ground goals. Every team trains to score goals. We're just good enough to pull it off.
Very happy with the 2-0 result. Why, oh why, do the team make us fans suffer as we did in the second half?? Fully expected Bo'mo to come out fighting for the first 10-15 mins of the second half, but we simply did not step up to stifle them. Reminded me of the Foxes game when we were cruising by the same margin. The inability to retain possession in the midfield and upfront when we are ahead needs some work. Lets not take that away from a solid win and two superb goals. We March On.
i thought it was a stunning first half with great goals. Thought Koeman called subs right today. Bournemouth stepped it up but never had a cutting edge. It was a disappointing second half but we saw it out. Things are definitely looking good as the season moves on. Will be nice to get Long back for another option. Anyone know how many Wanyama will have to miss? Was he due a suspension after the first yellow and if so what does the second yellow mean?
Good win. Will be interesting to see how we cope with no Vic next week. Chance for Romeu and Clasir to pair up.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/fo...seven-with-a-comfortable-local-derby-win.html Telegraph view of game.
At the match. I was leaving the ground and there was a Bournemouth fan on the ground, possibly unconscious. Lots of police around as well.
I was hoping someone else saw so I wouldn't have to. He was discussing the bottom teams and why Bournemouth had reasons to be hopeful. It went something like "Sunderland probably won't win many games, Newcastle and Villa have real problems. Chelsea will probably be alright.. ".
In all seriousness, I'm hoping that gets them to stay too, because without those key players, like Callum Wilson, they'll have trouble staying.
I agree. I would be very happy with the current bottom 3 going down. It about time for all of them. Especially Sunderland, who have been and embarrassment to the PL for many years, IMO.
not sure Chelsea will probably be alright - we've got 6 points on them now and an easy home game to come!
Yeah, they desperately need the transfer window without too much more damage being done. Hopefully the can find some threat up front.
With Glen Murrey leading the line, you're almost certain to get relegated. If Lee Cattermole is your captain, you're in real trouble.
this games just finished and now you've got me thinking about our record against Sunderland! there's never a moment of peace!
