[Albion] Post-match reaction and thoughts - Bournemouth

From watching online.

First-half we played well, pretty much in charge throughout. They scored a great goal against the run of play. Should we have been in front before that though? Bissouma opting to shoot instead of play the ball across for Andone to tap-in. Locadia playing well and like he has a point to prove, getting into good positions and playing some great passes. Very very harsh to be behind at the break.

Felt fairly confident at half-time that we would go on to get at least a draw from the game. Second half begins, first few minutes carry on as the first half did and then suddenly we look on the back foot and let them in to the game. Bissouma elbows their player in the back of the head, Dunk gets a yellow card. Montoya can’t find a player wearing blue and white when crossing the ball in to the box. Dunk then sent off for a stupid challenge which completely killed any inkling that we could maybe get a draw out of this. We look awful now.

What happened to the team that was pretty much in charge during the first half, what occurred at half-time?

Shit does indeed happen, but we should know by now how to stop it happening, it's a far too regular occurring theme.

Constant back passing and pressurising our own keeper is a massive fail in my book, and a lack of killer instinct as soon as we get over the half way line.

Hopefully The Complete And Utter Shyster will hold his hands up and admit his mistaken yellow card so we can reunite Duffy and Dunk for the Arse game.

That was one of the best 1st half performances away from home since Brighton got promoted. I was quite optimistic 2nd half, but it turned into a damp squib.
