I know mate I personally don't know but some just like to moan like children. Where we are to where we were is amazing but if a home win means so much then geeze i give up.

Benefits of a forum, some great posters that you can have a reasoned discussion with, and some very much less so…

I would rather our well paid, experienced manager explained how he will improve things.

Changed your mind again then?

[Gazred]

Nowhere near the level needed to compete with a quality opposition like that. 

Injuries didn't help but very poor right through the side today.

Should’ve been 8

I wonder if there’s been a bug going through the camp, Atkinson ill, King looked exhausted…perhaps I’m looking for excuses..

I said this to my wife, she replied with the same, that I was looking for excuses. Still I know Bournemouth are a very good team, but City looked void of all energy and with Pearson getting Covid again, Atkinson ill? and King almost collapsing in the second half. It certainly makes you wonder!

[The Swan and Cemetery]

Didn’t see a lack of effort, but a definite lack of quality vs a very expensive team (Cahill on a free is not the sign of a cheap team, he won’t be on £50, a pie and pint), who are unbeaten this season.
 

We’re now 4W 4D 4L, sounds like mid table, rather than worst team in history, but obviously not a great experience for home supporters. Weimann sums us up for me, consistently ineffective at home, consistently effective away. Could easily see us having a record breaking home vs away record this season.

I wish I knew, I just wish those that are supposed to did that's all.

Not a lot of point in performing away from home if you can’t still keep your Mrs happy.

Right, OK, good thoughtful discussion. Thanks

I suspect they do, but a massive hole in the balance sheet, probably suggests the solution is not affordable as it stands, and those in charge are making the best out of what we have available.

Disgusting

You and @Kodijas Wrist need to get a room. He/She/They started throwing insults. I can’t engage with such people.

Why all this sound & fury? We are a depleted mid-table team & have just lost 0-2 to the team at the top of our league. Quite likely West Brom will do the same to us soon. Understand where we are & what we realistically might accomplish this year & be grateful.

The thing that bothered me today was that we couldn't even do the easy things right. Everything we did was shanked, bodged and scuffed and it got really frustrating. 

[Bristol Rob]

Didn't expect to win, did expect a slightly better performance than the one we witnessed. 

A lack of application against a far superior Bournemouth side meant they never needed to get out of second gear.

If we had the mythical 20 goal a season striker, the result wouldn't have been any different.

That performance

Shit game. Tepid. 
Then come out to a cumberland basin bridge swing at 5pm when 20k trying to get away from the ground. 
What a day!

Our next accounts will be horrendous so there is not likely to be money to spend for some time yet unless we sell imo. We may be stuck with what we have.

[MelksRed]

It's starting to get boring going to AG to watch lacklustre 'professionals' not engage or play. 

Feel quite far away from the team at the moment. My son (15) said he probably won't  ask me to renew his ST next year. "Too predictable"

A bit depressing, I know we played one of the best sides in the division today and we probably should have expected todays result, it's puzzling though that we have managed to win 4 away and some of the teams we have played at home this season you would have thought we could at least have won a couple of them.

I think we all expected thr result buddy....it was the manner of the defeat and the way we didn't play that has my face tripping me....

 

Incandescent doesn't even touch it.

Today was so lacklustre all round, we’re always shit the 1st game back after an international break, but I honestly would not be surprised if we read about some sort of bug has gone through the team this week, whilst the payers can’t always compete on quality, they can nearly always compete on effort and work rate, today was totally lacking both.

[JoeAman08]

I don’t really care if just staying up is decent enough. That performance today, especially first half, was not even close to good enough. Doesn’t matter who we played that was embarrassing.

4 of their starters today have less championship experience than players like Bakinson and O’Leary. Probably irrelevant but I found it interesting. Of course hard to match their other 7.
 

Didn’t expect a win today but did expect them to show some grit and toughness. Sadly can’t remember a tackle being put in. Second to every 50/50 ball. The things we need to be good at to be competitive was not there today and that is poor coming off an international break

[Tin Soldier]

Reading this thread, makes me think Samaratans will be busy tonight!! 

[RoystonFoote'snephew]

Nothing to say other than they were better than us in every way. Losing Williams early didn't help our forward press but I doubt it would have made any real difference. Positives: we only conceded 2. Err... That's it!
