According to BBC Match Stats, we've enjoyed up to 59% possession, but with only 3 shots on target, compared to 9 for Bournemouth (and 7 shots for us overall compared to their 29!).

Our failure to bring in a striker in the transfer window is going to haunt us continually.

And so it should. A massive failure by the club. Let's hope it doesn't lead to relegation.

Passing forward would be a start.

That's not part of the lexicon this season. Still, I'm behind CH and the boys. Come on lads. They'll get this right.

How on earth does a premier league team allow a struggling side have nearly 30 shots against them thats 45 shots in two games by the same team, a team that is second bottom and by all accounts terrible.

Because Yawnmouth have spent huge sums over 4 years building a top half PL squad. They lost just a few games at the very beginning of the season. But playing a lower budget team lacking PL quality strikers, at home, was the perfect remedy to end their tiny winless run.

Possession is a meaningless stat in football.

Not signing quality strikers will cost us every f@ucking week

Quality or not, if we don't create any chances any striker would score a blank. It's our lack of ball retention and ability to build attacks in many games that's the worry.

Don't write us off yet we have a chance to win the foul count, we are currently smashing them 10 fouls to 9.

Not sure why we didn't just let them score in the 90 minutes. Sounds like we have shown no intention to win the game. More defensive practice. Ah well. Looking forward to our attacking game coming to life on Sunday.

Ps we'll win this one 2-1 [emoji3]

I wonder if we will ever score 2 goals in the next few games :(

Another game we appear to losing at a whimper. This is going to be long season.

Yep. They finished 9th last season and are very tidy. They are in fact the model on the pitch that we need to emulate.
