So annoying that the ref didn't even things up , normally a wrong decision is pointed out to them by the linos or the 4th assistant through their earpieces and they know they've cocked it up big time.
Actually, I think Oscar got the line-up wrong today, irrespective of the penalty. Our midfield was far too defensive for a home match. Bridcutt, Ince and Crofts offer literally nothing in an attacking sense and we were infinitely better once Agustien, Orlandi and Barnes came on. I know Bournemouth were possibly tiring by that stage but, personally, I think Kemy should have started ahead of one of the midfield 3 and Barnes instead of Lopez.
That said, I don't think we played badly at all, quite the contrary, but I really think we were set up wrongly today.
Hmm. Your saw a very different game to me.

Once Ulloa is match fit it will be a different storey.
I hope so, because we were definitely on the ground floor today.

Bournemouth are a very pacy team. If we could attack at that speed we would be well into the top 6 mix!
Bloody woodwork got right on my tits today.

He kept getting in the way as well.
I really didn't think we played well today. Yes we created a lot of chances and on another day would have won the match comfortably but I put that down to how poor Bournemouth were myself, first half was ok but then we came out in the second half and did basically **** all for the next 20 minutes, zero impetus, creativity, movement off the ball. We could have played like that match like that all day and we wouldn't have come close to scoring. It wasn't until Orlandi came on (far, far, FAR too late) that we actually started attacking them properly like we should have been all half.
Regardless of luck we would have won that match today if we hadn't been completely Spineless in the second half.

Was it bollocks 'superb'. It was a dreadfully leaden flat-footed performance. OK we hit the woodwork a couple of times, but apart from the last ten minutes it was pretty uninspired. Bournemouth cancelled out most of our threat and we looked seriously short of ideas. Still, if you can win your away games and get a point at home, who knows where it might lead...

We hit the woodwork THREE times. We were utterly all over ten. Their penalty was their only shot on target in 90 minutes.

It got a bit messy but I enjoyed it we finished strong.
The only thing I would say is that if teams come down here to park the bus, I'm not sure how effective KLL's pace is to start the game. I'm not saying Oscar had any other options but a fit Orlandi would have been best suited to this game.

Yes. Yes they do. Would be nice if those teams maintained that mentality for 90 minutes. But the Albion invariably start off so piss-poor weakly that the opposition get ideas above their station and take the lead...

What i wiuld say is it was not a great performance and in spells it was dire. However in other spells it was good and despite the performance not being great overall reflecting on the chances we created and should have scored a few more. Bourmouth came here to nick a goal and sit and be organised.

Laughable some of these comments! I thought we were good first half, looked tired start of the second until the subs. Three factors stopped us winning, an official who was inept, an opposing goalie pulling off a string of decent saves and too much paint on the woodwork! It also looked like the Christmas schedule was taking its toll on the players legs. We can moan all we want but we're still in touch, as the other teams in this league are having the same problems as us
We were all over them despite playing like shit for much of the game, we werent any good.

Praying for points
That's right Crofts is never going to score for us this season.....
Its the eye for a killer pass that I mean. I know they can score occasionally, but what we need is a creator in midfield. How many decent passes through to Ulloa/Barnes have Crofts/Ince/Bridcutt played through this season? Orlandi and Kemy did more in 20 minutes creativity-wise that those three did in the rest of the match. It's not a criticism of them, but they're not the type of players to unlock defences with killer passes are they?
