    We need loads in this week, these ****ers will crumble as soon as one decision doesn't go their way or they miss a shot or God forbid, we go behind.

    In reality it is no bigger than it was before today. What has changed is that we had January in our heads as a magic wand and after today we are realising it will need to be a massive ****ing wand!!

    The confirmation Wilson is now out for 8 weeks makes it even more alarming. In 8 weeks we're relegated on current form.

    If we get a striker in i think we will win, if not i don't.

    Honestly think it's that crucial, they are even worse than us at the back but without a striker it won't matter.

    Not a chance we get a striker on loan this early in the window, we need to discount Aubemeyang due to AFCON as I reckon we may have tried for a loan with him. We need to go big and we need to go fast. We need players in early this week to train together.

    I'm worried that there is now a clique in the club of old guard against new arrivals.

    1 point ahead of them if we win, 5 behind if we lose then they play Burnley and Norwich before we play Leeds.

    We are going to need to pay over the odds in fee and wages to get someone decent in quickly

    Isak has a £76m release clause, is he potent enough for that kind of money?

    His record is good but the truth is we won't know until we try with whoever we get (assuming we get someone). It takes time to adapt to the club, city and league and not everyone does - even some very very good players. There are no guarantees no matter who you buy, though more money usually reduces the risk!

    For the club it's no bigger than it was before today (and that's all i really care about), i reckon it has just become bigger for Eddie Howe though, he's piled more pressure on himself after today, win and today becomes a distant memory but if not this result could **** his future at the club.

    I hope we're not that kneejerk, but I fear you may be righty based on the reaction to today's debacle.

    Massive risk for a 22yr old but he’s been in double digits the last 3 seasons and has 5 in 12 this year so far

    I think today's reaction is justified, it's not an acceptable result and i don't care who the manager is, if he's been here 3 months or 3 years.

    I don't want him sacked because of it, i'm just saying.

    Fans. I suspect what Eddie said about them being supportive was true - at least outwardly.

    It isn't acceptable, but there are some out there who want him gone already.

    Okay the result went against us. We weren't as bad as some are making out for the large part. It's the fact it was against a team the same stature as Craggy Island x1

    I'm not one of them.

    To be fair some people didn't want him in the first place so i can't blame those.

    I agree and disagree. Most of us don't get the name we want when a manager is appointed as we all have different opinions. However, they should back him for longer than a few weeks. It's just harder if you never wanted him here in the first place.
