Tough game Sunday.

A decent outfit & they’re a game fitter and probably pissed off after they got robbed midweek.

[ellroy]

Ignore what I said.

Shower of st that lot.

He’s. Only. Gone. And. Scored.

[SydneyBridge]

You were not expecting that !

I've got a massive bruise where I had to pinch myself

Great result.

[ellroy]

Gutted not to take 3 of that shower.

Need to get this takeover done, if not ASM is going to be off....

[fathomfive]

Checked at 80 minutes. 1-0.

Checked at full time. 1-1.

Typical.

Exactly what I thought. they will sell him regardless of whether he wants to stay.

With a decent finisher, I think we have the foundation of a good side.

[BigBiffa]

I think we have the foundations of a side that could finish between 7th and 10th but we are miles away from the top 6, most of them have two or three forwards who you think could bag 15-20 goals a season, our top scorer might get to 8 if we're lucky. But hopefully in two to three years time.....

Looking forward to the game tonight,
Good luck but obviously not to much.
Ultimately I hope premiership survival is of more importance than the cup and that helps us today.
Never an easy game up there for us though

They're twelve points away from the drop zone that's populated by absolute rubbish

Don't fret. We're not capable of tying our boots today, let alone scoring.

Bit of a contrast this evening.

[DoctorX]

Think it says more about Bournemouth than us but nevertheless HWTL

3 points is 3 points is 3 points.

[Chicken Chaser]

Tremendous result and performance. We looked great against them. Lots of space though.

[ellroy]

They were a shadow of the side of the last few seasons, but we can only beat what’s in front of us.

ASM is looking unplayable at times. What a player.

Mike will be looking to sell him before this takeover goes through. Get a few slazenger tracksuits for him.

[ellroy]

Can’t say that thought hadn’t crossed my mind.

Need the deal sorted before the window, for incoming as well as outgoing reasons.

[ellroy]

Looked a bit jaded I thought, plus mid table safety versus need a point bottom of the table. Some entertaining stuff, but too many loose balls and slack defending.

Still, look to be totally safe now.

[littleredrooster]

Just seen the result - pretty much as I predicted to the missus. No matter, we've more things to worry about, I suppose.
