Wrong starting line-up yet again, too late with our subs, the honeymoon is well and truly over! 😡

It's objectively a moronic comment.
It's not Disneyland. We will lose games. We were punished for two mistakes. Did we play badly? No.
You screaming 'the honeymoon period is over!' is total nonsense. |
Did we play badly? Yes! One shot on target, from the penalty spot! 🙄
I screamed nothing btw, but the honeymoon period is definitely over as far as I’m concerned. I think GON is a decent manager but some of his decisions recently have been baffling - why persist with Philogene? Why bin the keeper we only bought in the summer for Walton, who is no upgrade on Scherpen I think. | | | |

What absolute nonsense. |  |

You are entitled to your view. I thought we were fortunate not to go in three down at HT! | | | |

I thought we slightly shaded the first half. Certainly didn't look second best.
Once the second goal went in the confidence drained from the team. But we were far from dire in the first half. |  |

How did we shade it? We didn’t have a serious attempt on goal. Tavernier should have made it 2-0 and they had a few other good chances too.
But always interesting to see how other fans viewed the game 👍 | | | |

Tbf he maybe a tad OTT with it but recently someone said thank you gary. We are 3 points outside relegation with no doubt managerial changes about to happen and sides soon to get going.
We are competing. But we are falling into that trap of competiting but something stopping us.. and that at the moment are mistakes from players the manager picks so there for people to say thanks gary was far to early as we are seeing |
A tad OTT is putting it lightly.
One game at a time. We've made a solid start.
I believe in this team - We've got good players. |  | | |

We were good first half. Repeatedly got in behind, had good amount of control. | | | |

With our back line and selection of keepers, even Merlin the magician would find it nigh on impossible. Now who exactly is to blame for that scenario, is a matter of debate, and I expect we will never get told! |  | | |

We were ok without putting them under any serious pressure apart from the first four minutes. With better decision making in the final third, Enciso a couple of times especially, we perhaps could have had a better outcome. The last 15/20 minutes, we came alive a little more but ultimately, they shaded the game and just about deserved the points.
Our ability to shoot our selves in the foot every week is becoming a bit of a concern for me. The team are putting in decent effort and at times some good attacking football but we must keep the howlers to an absolute minimum as the Premier League is feckin brutal and we are getting punished for nearly every mistake.
Still think we will just about have enough about us to keep us up but it’s going to be close. |  |

I only saw the first 25 of the first half and we were bright up to the goal and then very much second best after it. We weren’t bad but we weren’t a threat. Same old really; look competitive between both boxes but conceed lame goals and don’t offer enough threat in attack. We’re not far off, but also are noticeably not at the level needed for a guaranteed 2nd season in the PL. |  |

We just did! First half today we were miles off it. Lucky not to go in two or three behind.
Good amount of control? That is utterly meaningless! What did we control exactly? Unless you mean being forced to go back for Walton to lump it time and time again is controlling the game! 🙄 | | | |

Exactly! We were bright for the first five minutes and were then very poor for the rest of the first half. | | | |

Subs should have been on the moment we went two-nil down! |
If Walton didn't make that howler, he had a decent enough game. Some decent saves to keep us in the game, especially with his legs when they looked certain to double their lead in the first half | | | |

But his distribution was dreadful too. Too slow to release throws, kicks launched off the pitch.
He was (understandably) a bag of nerves for the rest of the game. | | | |

Especially with his legs. How is that now seen as a good save? He was literally diving the opposite direction to the ball and the ball hit his legs.
He also didnt get near the ball that hit davis when he should have been on his toes ready to get anything that goes across his box. |  |

The first pair were on after about 56 minutes. That's early by most standards. Even if by some miracle there is a better player on the subs bench there's still a game that now lasts 100 minutes. So we were plenty early with the subs. We also went two up and even at the end three up top. GON did everything the average fan would scream for. He can't legislate for two errors. |  |

I said ages ago his distribution was too slow but was quickly told that is a tactical thing and not an ability thing. |  | | |

The manager picks the team so he should take responsibility. |
Compare what he has to pick from, compared to Bournemouth. It was only 2-1 in the end, given the difference in quality it would have easily have been a harsher result. |  |

| Gary O’Neil - that’s on YOU! on 12:32 - Nov 9 | MattinLondon |
Think some posters need a shot of realism - of the past ten seasons, Bournemouth have spent eight in the PL. Compare and contrast with us.
Now you might well say that that is irrelevant but that’s eight seasons of being able to attract much better players than what we have been able to do - eight seasons of year on year improvement and that is what we are up against.
We’re going to lose more matches than what we win but we’ve still given ourselves a fighting chance of staying up. |  | | |

If as you say we need to give ourselves a chance we need to focus on what the players can do over what they might be able to do.
Against Spurs the tactic should be to not pass it back to Walton under any circumstances, if the defender needs to go long then go long to take as much pressure off Walton as possible so he can focus on saving shots, which he can do. | | | |

That would show a complete lack of confidence in the keeper. Bearing in mind for years our whole strategic plan has been to play out from the back, including the keeper, that would be a massive way to not maintain any possession. | | | |

You don't help yourself when you come up with factually incorrect comments. The penalty wasn't our only shot on target - we had one in the first half too. I wonder who it was from? Oh yeah it was Philogene! He admittedly didn't connect too cleanly but still it troubled the keeper, who I doubt would have saved it had he struck it a bit better. It's almost like you see what you want. | | | |
