They pass and keep the ball better than us
Which is embarrassing as they play in a 20,000 stadium and have a fraction of the resources
Need to find a win from somewhere 
Summerville looks the most likely 

Another inconsistent Northern ref crucifying us
Again

Bournemouth like a budget Arsenal here. Time wasting and niggly from the get go, totally designed to stop any kind of rhythm. They're a difficult opponent.

Nuno out if true.

Can't run, can't pass cant tackle.
 
on the other hand can defend, can score goals. He's become a bit of a fixture again but it seems to work with Fernandes in there 
 
 
Work with Fernandes in there? In what way?
Fernandes and Magassa is the ones running and closing down. You guys are far to kind to his contribution. Take the specs off and see what he does. It's easy, absolutely nothing

Dont totally agree. We've had the better and good chances so far this game. And it was a very specific two up front not just any two. We don't have an adequate replacement who offers what the guy who is out did.
 
 
Matter of opinion I suppose but IMO we definitely haven't looked as threatening as we did in the last few games. If be happy with any other forward there instead of Magassa mainly because of the opportunity it creates for Bowen and Summerville and their ability to take advantage of it. 

I think he's reverted to defensive type and that hasn't served us well for years.

Look very nervous. Slow and ponderous, shows we miss Pablo and his energy in that area. As Tomas is on a yellow maybe stick Taty behind and bring Wilson on.

And yet he's been a key part of our team in recent games and has been excellent in a two man midfield with Fernandes.
Yep, say a lot about the other players. He is fucking gash

Think he's an intelligent enough player to walk the tight rope.

Feel this is a game we're missing Pablo's pressure quite badly in.
