    Better manager won on the night. Our terrible tactics in the first half cost us.

    Well played Bournemouth.

    Am still weirdly more encouraged by that than previously though.

    Got to say, set the team up properly and we look okay. We were not set up properly first half, and Ralph has to take that one.

    Good second half. Terrible first half. Story of season.

    Good performance, unlucky not to get a point.

    A lot of promising signs for me

    1st half was dire. But that 2nd half was very good. If we can stop having a crap 1st half please that would be good

    We started playing after Ralph gave the players a bollocking and we had a lb playing at lb. First half was shocking.

    Played much better second half and somewhat dominated. Suppose you could say a draw would be a just result because of that but nah... you can't go down 2-0 on two relatively soft goals (and two close shaves on a VAR call and a penalty shout) and complain that you lost.

    But the second half did at least leave me feeling better about things.

    Good in patches. Poor defensively. We must play our better defenders.

    Bertrand
    Maya
    Bednarek/Danso (maybe)
    RB

    Are we really able to credit Ralph with "a bollocking" but overlook playing the wrong players in the wrong positions?

    Ah well, onwards.

    System still needs work and the team feels like they're not quite gelling yet - hopefully something will click shortly. Djenepo was a miss as well.

    Bertie back as LB and Kev in for Vester in a 4 at the back and we are good to go.

    I was actually disappointed when he went to AFCB. Because I liked the idea of him being a Saints player.

    Anyway, well done Bournemouth.

    It wasn’t Tom. It was bad defensively but not shocking elsewhere.

    25 shots, one goal, just need to take 75 shots a game and we'll be fine :emoticon-0102-bigsm.

    Roll on Tuesday, and better try and be a bit more clinical against the fish ****ers
