CH wants us still in the game at half time, he knew Bournemouth would have to come at us and if that's the best they can do, it's job done.
Second half we will be slightly more adventurous, but he will be happy with a point.
Too many people are expecting us to attack like last season, we can't go for it like that in this league every team can hurt you so quickly on the counter attack.
I think we are doing ok, and apart from Duffy the squad are working hard, Stephen's is class
Bournemouth are anxious to start their season, we've done a good job so far. I think it must open up second half and there will be opportunities.
Got to get numbers forward for that to happen.

Sadly I can see them nicking it at any time despite the best efforts of our back line !
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 eventually if you let them have the ball this much. And we've shown we're capable of mistakes which could gift them a goal, like the Propper header and Duffy wayward pass.

First time I have been scared every time Duffy gets the ball, on the plus side best I have seen Stephens play for a long time. Bournemouth slightly better of two poor sides in my opinion.

What we have done is work very hard. Can see Knockaert off at 70, March onto the right to pick up Daniels and Izzzy on the left. Need to keep to 0-0 til then.

Very efficient so far. Duffy piss arsing about a bit but Stephens back to his dominant best. Can't see them scoring as they seem a tad toothless, so a breakaway or two would be fantastic

Never seen such a scathing half time chat. They all really think this is the most dire game they've ever seen haha

I would settle for that now !
I get that CH doesn't want to concede and that a point would be good, but we are making them look like Barcelona without the goals. I hope for a slightly more expansive and forward thinking Albion 2nd half. Just 20% more forward thinking. We need to give the Cherries something to remind them that they can be hurt.

This. Level at half time in away game is a good scoreline in this division. 3 or 4 years down the line maybe we'll be in a position to boss matches. Not yet.

Mate (or lady mate-ess) - I know all that. I also know it just doesn't work when I try it (and believe me, I've tried haggling many many times - and always with disastrous results, which end up with costing me more money!) For some of you, it's a difficult thing to understand, but either you're born with the ability to do it, or you ain't. End of!
