A Horse With No Name Posted October 16, 2021 Report Share Posted October 16, 2021 My thoughts ? Stand on the feckin touchline shouting instructions. 12 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exAtyeoMax Posted October 16, 2021 Report Share Posted October 16, 2021 we didn't string any passes together… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HitchinRed Posted October 16, 2021 Report Share Posted October 16, 2021 (edited) Not sure that would have helped (shouting instructions from the touch line, rather an our inability to string some passes together!). Anyone can shout instructions from the touch line. Coming up with the instructions might be easier if you have a better view of the game.

old_eastender Posted October 16, 2021 Report Share Posted October 16, 2021 Fair that he picked out Tanner, Kalas, Baker & DaSilva for praise, nobody else deserved any. Wish they had asked him why Wells was bought on for Williams, cause that made no sense (I would have played Wells from the start). Playing Weimann or Wells wide does not suit either of them. Palmer, or Bakinson for Williams would have made more sense although Bakinson was typically lite weight when he did come on. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he didn’t have a clear view from wherever he was, but I can assure Nige that from the Dolman you could clearly see young Tanner have a nightmare first half. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palmer, or Bakinson for Williams would have made more sense although Bakinson was typically lite weight when he did come on. It made sense to me if Weimann went wide right but within 5 minutes of Wells coming on we abandoned that & Nakhi was asked to tuck in ahead of Tanner, which was just ridiculous. Might as well have brought on Scott or Palmer if that was the case. I accept Bakinson came on at a tough time but he offers us virtually nothing, one smart pass aside he was a total passenger (again). There was one bit near the end when Weimann charged down a shot then got up & managed to get a tackle in & clear the ball, Bakinson just stood & watched him throughout. I’d rather see Vyner in the squad than him. 3 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All a bit shambolic and haphazard, almost as if there is no plan bar the starting eleven - IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that i disagree but it gets a bit boring hearing the same honest assessments. Bournmouth were very very good but i don’t think kelly and cahill will have an easier game all season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, Tanner stuck to his task though, I though Pring was too naive with his defending.

Hope this doesn’t dent his or tanners confidence Pring needs a rest for a few games I think (perhaps a spell on the bench). We have to remember this is his first season at this level. I wouldn't worry so much about Tanner right now who certainly got better as the game wore on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topper 123 Posted October 16, 2021 Report Share Posted October 16, 2021 Nigel Pearson must be spitting feathers this was probably the most inept performance by a team in red I have ever seen PATHETIC , 2 meaningful challenges all game , never competed ,never looked like they were out there to try to win , lacklustre is mild , bottle less more to the point ,I’ve seen more fight in greggs on a morning getting a bacon roll , soft touch all of them again pathetic 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was nice how he call out Tanner, that boy gets better and better, and he is right they were better than us. Our job is to be better than the teams around and below us, there is a gulf between them and us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact he's prepared to say how bad it was rather than hiding behind football "jargon" or blaming referees tells me that he won't be playing players who won't do what he wants for very long. I'm sure everyone will get a second chance under him but not a 17th and 18th chance. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what shouting instructions would have done against a far superior side today. We weren’t at the races at all but the gap in quality was obvious.

OddBallJim Posted October 16, 2021 Report Share Posted October 16, 2021 We just weren’t up for it today. Not going to worry too much about it, but we do need to bully sides more/get a lot more physical. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigAl&Toby Posted October 16, 2021 Report Share Posted October 16, 2021 How long did it take from Kallas wiping the ball with the towel to Bentley letting it pass through his flailing hands and pick it out the net? How many crosses did Bournemouth put to the far post before it worked and Lowe got on the end of one? Bournemouth were nothing exceptional. Even with parachute payments and their stellar signings. Simply we were woeful. Again. The over riding thing for me I guess is how Bournemouth have progressed as a football team over the past few decades, whilst we’ve gone backwards. Bet Lloyd thanks his lucky stars he made the move when he did. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s played like that most of the season, seems to have lost his mojo, his first few games under Holden he almost played the quarterback role just sitting behind and making things tick and looked really impressive, this season it looks like he’s stealing a living as a footballer, perhaps not as much as Solanke on today’s viewing, but he doesn’t even look like a league 1 midfielder on present form Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aa_bcfc Posted October 16, 2021 Report Share Posted October 16, 2021 Totally embarrassed as a long time City fan.

We clearly have very different views on football, easily the best Championship team I’ve seen this year, although we made it easy for them. Tactically spot on, overloads all over the place, really clever quick passing, a cut above us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
