Is anyone saying we were outplayed and deserved to lose? I think we defended well by and large, and we were unlucky not to score before we did.
Letting a team low on confidence have that much possession is a concern though, as I imagine teams will learn to be patient against us and try and play...
We let muff have the ball for almost the entire first half. We didn't do that against teams last season. We may not have trounced teams away, but we fought for the win - as you'd expect, it was a division lower and we were fighting for promotion. But muff is one of the easier games we'll have...
We defended well and did deserve a point, but other teams will realise that our strength is in being organised and defending crosses, and what they need to beat us is a bit of clever movement and a through ball. Then I fear we'll struggle, whilst allowing the opposition so much possession.
Well it'll certainly help, but it still could be tough. Bournemouth are a team that's been struggling, and although they haven't had a good chance, this much possession must give them confidence.
We're not currently like the relegated teams that are in disarray, but most PL teams will score...
