Totally ripped apart, forget we was down to 10 men , if we had 15 the result would be the same . Bournemouth was a different class. ... we need to up our game .

these will beat many teams this season by more than what they've beaten us tonight... They have too much quality for this league even after selling a huge amount of players... It felt like we played a Premier league side tonight
We won't play sides like this every game, absolutely nobody will look forward to playing these in this league

We could have played to our maximum capabilities and still have been lucky to get a point.

We are not on their level simple as that we’re not competing with these teams we’re in a mini league with Luton Barnsley etc these games are free hits

Basic passing? Not having ago we a miles behind. First half we couldn’t even pass 5 yards. That’s the worrying thing for me. Didn’t expect anything other than a loss. But two games running our passing has been woeful. On to the next

Crying because a team with a midfielder that cost 30 million are better than us?

The defence is the major issue. In 3 of our 4 games this we’ve needed 3 goals to win a game. We won’t many games if we need to score that many.

We were very poor. Caused our own problems and they took advantage. They looked confidence and experienced and we looked timid.
Frustrating but too many poor performances from us.

I still have faith . We need to take what we can . 90 million against 2 million. Nothing to be ashamed of. Onwards and upwards. PUSB . We all know it’s going to be hard.

I’m not so sure tbh, I’m worried. I predicted us 18th before the season started, but I am concerned when I look at the quality in this league. I’m afraid of getting my hopes up.

Disagree. Three games prior to tonight we've more than held our own.
You are right, they are a much better team than us, teams like them are not who we are competing with, it isn’t fair to judge the team based on tonight.
Ffs, don’t get my hopes up.

I agree and that’s not what I’m getting at. I mean our starting, our approach.
To me we’ve shown too much respect to these teams. We’ve had to go 1-0 down in 3 games before we started. Tbf Bournemouth were a lot better than us but I don’t think we’re going to be competing with the likes of Bournemouth this season they will be there or there about where as we will I feel be somewhere in the bottom half. As long as it’s not the bottom 3 come May I’ll accept that for this season.

MR needs to sort the players out and learn to play against the high press! and also get them to stop waiting for the ball to come to them! I counted 12 occasions tonight where the ball was passed and the receiving playing was not aware of the players around them and they had their pockets picked. Only O'Hare has the skill to receive the ball and move with it by evading the incoming interception.

And a bit more. Not gutted or angry after tonight's result - bit disappointed obviously but feel a bit like a proud father having seen their offspring give it a good go against the school bully but come off second best.

My big concern prior to the season was teams pressing us quicker and for longer in this league disrupting our preferred way of playing and so far that has been a problem. We also seem to have become more afraid going into games, like MR is telling them to keep it tight because they'll come at us and actually making them nervous.
Bournemouth also looked to take advantage out wide with the WB and I love this system but it may end up we need to change it to offer them a bit more protection. I'd like us to stick to it for now.
Having said that not every team will be a Bournemouth so it's like Fulham playing Man City. It's a free hit that you're not expected to get anything from. It's games against those like you that will define the season. Put this one down to a learning experience, expect a similar test in the next two games and try not to get too disheartened if they don't go our way because if they erode our confidence when we get to games we could get points from we don't have the confidence to play.

I worry about the players' morale. They are not used to being dominated like last night. We could well lose the next two games, and their self belief could evaporate.

Sometimes you have to learn from adversity I’m glad this Bournemouth game came early and I’m also happy Brentford are next, another big test. We have a way to go to get to the Bournemouth level but even yesterday we managed to get to 1-1 at half-time and hit the post at 1-2 just after the sending off but we’re well beaten in the end. Will be interesting to see if MR brings a loan or two in I think we need it.
