They are both awful footballers. Kante gets a bit of a pass as we picked him up as a youth for next to nothing. But these idiots shelled out nearly £30 million for Magassa. A total waste of money and ridiculous signing given he is an awful footballer.

The utter misery on here. Man up you fucking babies. 

A draw is a decent result against a very organised side who defend as a unit and have been averaging 2 goals a game. So a clean sheet is pretty impressive on its own. We had a few chances but a draw was fair and lets hope Forest and Spurs slip up.

Spot on Any Old, other clubs down the bottom have the courage to really go for the jugular and have reaped the rewards, Sadly I think Nuno will take us down with his over- cautious approach

I never knew COYI was a top class manager, fingers crossed he gets the job next time round.

These draws are no good to us. Unfortunately we are lumbered with a manager who doesn’t have the courage to send out a team to ‘go for it’.  We’re at the stage where we have to take a few risks in order to get some wins.  The trouble is don’t think he has the bollocks for it.

I don’t think Magassa is as bad as some say, he’s a bit raw but he is showing signs of settling in. The young kid that came on for him is another that needs more playing time Kante, he could end up becoming A player for us.

Mavro took his time but he’s been playing well lately. The young keeper, Fernandez and Summerville are thriving under Nuno. Diouff is becoming a key player for us as is Taty.

Bowen’s form has dropped off a bit but he’ll come good.

Bournemouths defense were pretty solid got some nice crucial tackles in today, it wasn’t all about missed chances.

 

We had the chances second half but ultimately fluffed out lines once more 

Bowen would be the player you would put your money on to score when given a gilt edged opportunity but it wasn't to be.

Taty had another but his first touch belonged in the ryman league not premier.

He is lauded for his workrate but that won't keep us up and his goal ratio certainly won't.

Magassa showed his class with a high wide and mighty effort that would not be out of place at Twickenham and was generally poor throughout.

He is another one who runs about a lot but produces very little..

These two players along with many many others throughout this boards recent tenure are simply not good enough and we have continually been short changed in the recruitment stakes.

I feel for the likes of Bowen and Soucek and a few others who continue to give there all and obviously care about the club.

It's like being at work where you are knocking your pipe out but HR keep hiring people who are clueless to replace solid characters.

A shambles of a football club.

If we do go down it won’t be because of this game. Bournemouth are a good team and in form. We probably do need to get an unexpected win out of the bag somewhere, though.

He should have gone with the logical team I predicted he would have gone for. We would have won if he had done that.

Magassa must never start for us again. Terrible footballer.

Two teams in the PL are unbeaten in their last six league games they being ManU and Bournemouth. In our quest to avoid relegation we have drawn with both teams during their runs. Those games would earlier in the season have been defeats so maybe it’s two points gained rather than being lost. Notwithstanding that our perk up in form looks to be too late in the day to save us by our own efforts alone.

On a positive note we managed a clean sheet against a good team in good form. 

By "no product" I thought his passing could have been  better and his shooting was awful.  I liked the way he got about the pitch though (the good engine comment)

Do me a favour! He brought energy and ball winning and strength and played some smart passes too. He's only young too in his first PL.season having been a bit part player for Monaco. 

9 time out of 10 that game today goes out way. Just it wouldn't run for us today. On to the next one.

0-0 was about right
Neither team created enough to win it and when we did get in scoring positions put everything miles over the bar. 
We defend balls into the box much better these days from corners, free kicks & their endless long throws 
Diouf I thought was outstanding winning the ball back, blocking & endless running 
Bowen, Summerville & Fernandes who we rely on for that bit of winning magic not really on it tonight
As said at h/t their passing , ball retention & movement was superior. We just gave the ball away when in decent positions

On to Liverpool, it’s about time we won there isn’t it?

It’ll soon get to the point where we will have to stop looking at the opponent and win no matter who it is, wether it’s  an in form side or not.



 

Thought we were pretty comfortable against the form team of the division which we seem to get every week at the moment. Should have won that but you aint gonna win if your best player doesnt turn up and Bowen was pretty bad today by his standards.
I thought the ref was straight up apalling and that didn't help either. Lacking bench options and regardless of what some think, missing Pablo and his energy. How did we not get a pen in the first three mins from that corner? Baffling. 

A bit deflating but a heavy defeat for Forest and Spurs would cheer me up again. A long way to go yet. 

That's it  

Which bit exactly?

Or aren't we allowed to point out when a player has had a bad game on here?
