Bournemouth Match Thread

[stainrodisalegend]

We are in danger of missing the point here. We are not going to get promoted if every single week we rely on some heroic onslaught to claw back a two goal deficit. If the defence is giving teams a huge number of chances early doors every single match we play, we are not going up. It is as simple as that. This has always been the weakness under Mark Warburton, I remain a massive admirer of his but it turns out he has not solved the problem of our very leaky defence.

Missed Austin tonight especially in 2nd half onslaught, missed chances I’m sure he would’ve snapped up

Unless he was injured no idea why he was not on the bench. We were crying out for him the last 10 mins

Don’t think we lost to a better team . If it wasn’t for that keeper we would of got at least a point . Again we give away sloppy goals . Bournemouth were rubbish . Huddersfield IMO are probably best team in the league atm

Bournemouth rubbish? Respectfully, bizarre comment imho. Objectively they deserved the three points and looked a very good side. We looked good - they looked better.

Warbs said in the pre match interview that Chaz took a knock on Sat and also had a family matter to deal with.

Have to agree, if that is how a rubbish team play, let us be rubbish every week, thought they played a good game of football to be honest

Austin had a loss in the family from what I understand. Been a tough 2 weeks for him, and the day before last was the hardest.

I think overall we gave a great account for ourselves, we went missing for 20-25 mins and thats what cost us in the end.

First 10 we was superb, and overall second half I think we nudged it to get a draw.

Great match. Onto the next one...

The wing backs need to be backs foremost then wingers when the play is upfield. We cannot rely on the centre backs to do full back jobs especially against a team with premiership wingers.

CBs are big lumps not nippy full backs.

Felt for Dickie when he lost that ball.

Thought we were good once the changes were made, not overwhelmed with the system think we'd be better 4-3-3, may be better, Their Keeper had a miraculous last 15 minutes, and in all probability without Dickies mistake and not having to chase the game may have won it, the goal gave them a massive boost for 25 minutes when they hadn't been in the game, also quite poor on the 2nd goal Brookes runs a long way without a proper challenge going in and poor marking, As someone stated earlier our defence has always been fragile since and before the Breadman came and not really been delt with properly , and we can't rely to keep getting out of jail going goals down, have to start well and take chances early

Ah fair play thanks for that Sheep

Saw on Charlie's Instagram that his gran passed away.

It is due to the way we play at the back. Every team is pressing us high and they know the likes of Dickie and De Wijs are not the fastest defenders around.

Unfortunately it's the way Warburton likes the team to play.

I know generally the football we play is very pleasing to watch, but this slow, passing from side to side at the back is always likely to lead to errors as teams will press us high.

However, our real problem is not taking our chances when controlling the game. I still think playing with 2 strikers in a 3-5-2 formation will help address this issue. If we start with Gray and Dykes on Saturday and Austin on the bench we just might see us take control of the game early on and not fall 1 or 2 behind before making a fist of it.

I agree. Having Austin as an option from the bench would help when we need a goal or two.

[QPRDave]

Our problem is the same as last season.
A Stat late in the game had Rangers ahead on possession, crosses, and attempts on goal.
But both teams were tied on attempts on target, 2 each.
Our attempts on goal was 19 at the time..
We are always open at the back so unless we take some of those chances we will struggle to win a

Well that might go some way to explaining his fitness levels if he's been away from training and other things on his mind. Clearly Warbs isnt going to disclose personal matters to the public. Lets see where Chaz is in a few weeks.
