At least this one is a loan that you can punt if need be!

That's a disappointing result given the half time score.

It's a disgrace considering the amount of squandered chances, the lack of energy from Bournemouth until the first goal, the fact that Rafa changed things just prior to them scoring both goals. Atsu and Shelves both had golden chances to finish it and failed. Perez skied one from 5 yards, and we dropped really deep for 10 mins just allowing them to pressurise. Definitely 2 points dropped. Should have been a win.

Not yet seen the match, but I’d have settled for a point before the game. That said saw we were two nil up and was gutted that we threw away two points.

[ellroy]

Well, that went about as well as expected.

Can’t complain to some extent, a much better team.

Must beat Southampton on Saturday though!

[ellroy]

Have you seen how many penalties we needed last night?

And we only went and won at the end!

The age of miracles is not dead.

Couldn't your fans have done us a favour and smashed the pink seats up rather than the red ones?

We thought that colour were reserved for toiletry activities?

That's what happens on the pitch when the senior team at are home!

A good, good win.

A needed 3 points, the table looks a little healthier after that, but we need to follow up in the next game.

Anyway, onwards and upwards.

Best thing from our perspectives (NUFC and HTAFC) is them and West Ham losing, Palace and Stoke have tough games too; fingers crossed!

That Southampton manager is fuggin' garbage, he probably took an attacking player off in place of a defensive midfielder when you guys were 2-0 up, clueless.

A decent article if you’ve not seen it, some valid objectivity of the merits of the team and where we are.

strange they didn’t mention Joselu, though....

So, what do we all think of the next owner Mr Mayweather then.................

[ellroy]

Well back to the proper stuff this weekend.

A huge game, I feel, that has a potentially major impact on my blood pressure for the last few weeks of the season.

[fathomfive]

One where hopefully we'll get some use out of Slimani, given he got some game time for his country.

It is a massive game though, for both teams. Probably as big as last seasons trip to Huddersfield. a repeat of that 3-1 scoreline for us would be useful.

[skahigh]

I have no idea why but I'm feeling really quite positive about our situation now.

Huddersfield and WBA at home to come and I reckon Arsenal are vulnerable.

Then when you look at the run-ins for the likes of Southampton it looks pretty bleak for them and WBA.

Also, aside from that 9 game winless streak in the middle of the season we've picked up points pretty consistently.
