How do you make up for it?

It was like we were playing a different species tonight Pete. Taller, stronger, faster. We need another 9 Gus Hamer style transfers.

They won’t because Bolton didn’t have a tycoon writing a blank cheque and ran out of parachute payments

I'm not comparing like for like scenarios, I'm suggesting in terms of Bournemouth being at risk of cascading down the leagues...

 

[David O'Day]

Fucking get off Allens back , Pete

Is that why he looked a yard off the pace

 

[Hobo]

Kelly makes a difference in there. I think robins will look at an attacking midfielder before the transfer window out. Allen and shipley aren’t good enough.

Rose looked assured and hyam excellent dabo off the pace. McCallum will be in for Giles after the break he was poor defensively tonight.

We need much more mobility all over the pitch dont we?

Dabo was our worst defender tonight. He looks good and strong maurading forward but all over the place defensively.

 

[some lad]

What fucking game is the commentator watching saying Bournemouth could be 7-1 up, they've not been that good

Yes they have, they’ve schooled Cov tonight, idk what you’re on about.

 

[cc84cov]

Out our depth tonight it’s that simple forget it and move on

 

[David O'Day]

We’re playing another next

Yep and one of the best of the rest after that. Good to get them out the way early doors.

 

[Alkhen]

They still owe £80m in transfer repayments, and the majority of their players are on in excess of £20-30K per week. Some are on even more than that. Their turnover to wages ratio must be eye watering.

So, it's irrelevant how much their owners are worth as Bournemouth are just as subject to the P&S rules as clubs the size of Wycombe will be.

Who gives a shit about their accounts?! We don't support them! They still had 100m worth of talent on the pitch tonight that's the only factor that matters to us surely. I don't care who they sell from now on they are running in different circles than us.

Don't think we did that badly despite the massive gap in squad quality

They won’t-will keep getting to lose loads and get away with it till promotion

No it isn’t we need points on the board

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

They didn't even have to get out of first gear to comfortably beat us. Most Bournemouth fans on social media calling it their most comfortable win in years. Yes, they're obviously a much better side than us, and I don't mind losing to good sides if we play well or at least give a good account of ourselves, but that was dire tonight.

 

[The Reverend Skyblue]

Fucking get off Allens back , Pete

Do you feel like the hypocrite you are Pete

 

[David O'Day]

They won’t-will keep getting to lose loads and get away with it till promotion

just wait until their chairman does a man city and "sponsors" their ground for about eleventy billion

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

They would have run rings round Kelly tonight. Kelly is a brilliant lower league player where he can read slow, stupid footballers, anticipate and nip in and win the ball. Against most top half teams in this league, he won't get near them. It'll be the single biggest issue this year across the whole team, lack of pace.

I tend to agree with you that pace/skill/better players will be an issue when we face the better teams. Luckily for us, I don't think they are all like that, although unfortunately -(Brentford included) there are probably 6-10 teams who are. It is the other teams that we must challenge, and pick up what we can against the better ones.

 

[Ring Of Steel]

Out our depth tonight it’s that simple forget it and move on

Almost agree- learn from it and move on.

Why do you care what a few cunts who 10 years supported Southampton say on twatter? Plus they haven't won many ganmes it the last year or so it's not that big a thing really.

What’s your take on Sheaf?

 

[Macca]

In fairness if you expected anything other than what happened tonight you are going to have a long hard season. We are going to lose more than we win this year and it shouldn’t come as a big surprise. But hey you know 3 years ago we were losing to Newport at home and starting to ponder non league football

 

[Dickie]

My point is shipley was no worse than seven others and you can add Allen to that from the second half. Stop having a boo boy and you won’t look daft. Shipley deserves a go as Allen not good enough. I think he’ll try walker and Godden up front with Ohare behind cause Allen and shipley are not good enough on current form

I really wanted Allen to get a grip on the game but he didn’t do a lot. Hard to be critical I guess as he was chasing shadows a lot

 

[Alkhen]

Yes they have, they’ve schooled Cov tonight, idk what you’re on about.

No doubt they were far better but in no way could that have been 7-1. They didn't have that many clear chances.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

just wait until their chairman does a man city and "sponsors" their ground for about eleventy billion

Or a Derby and ‘buys’ it for the same sum

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Robins is on Sky next

 

[Liquid Gold]

Do you feel like the hypocrite you are Pete

Put the drink down. Down a glass of water and an aspirin and put another of each by your bed for when you wake up. You’re being a twat.

 

[Tommo1993]

That’s the thumping out of the way, outplayed and really could’ve conceded more. It’s smooth sailing from here now! Onwards and upwardly!

most of them hadn’t been to a game 5 years ago

Mate when's the 3 year date for the FGR defeat at home?

 

[KenilworthSkyBlue]

You're more than entitled to your opinion, but they really won't.

 

[Hobo]

Not a disaster tonight. Bournemouth one of the best sides and scored good goals.

I hope this grounds some of our fans fantasies about getting promotion?

We can take lots of positives from this game.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Do you feel like the hypocrite you are Pete

No idea what you’re going on about

Shipley is shit
Shipley is the worst footballer in the world
Shipley is out of his depth
Wtf was that Shipley

From you and I pointed out there were 7 others playing poorly why pick on him

Allen didn’t look fit

Pete you’re a hypocrite.

Um no I don’t actually

 

[speedie87]

1st half qpr and tonight are getting me worried about playing this formation all season and being so deep massive gap between front 3 players and the rest at times

 

[Ring Of Steel]

That’s the thumping out of the way, outplayed and really could’ve conceded more. It’s smooth sailing from here now! Onwards and upwardly!

I think there will be a few more yet but that was always gonna happen.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

You're more than entitled to your opinion, but they really won't.

So why are there countless examples to the contrary

their first goal scorer cost £30m. They have played in the prem for the past few years. Of course it’s going to be more comfortable v Shipley than Kante

Just ignore him, he’s being an idiot

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

We’re playing another next

As I said - get them out of the way whilst Hamer is suspended. He'd have lost his rag with Toney and co anyway!!
