Bournemouth (A) 23/8: Build-up & Match Thread

[Jinky]

Not sure “has to score” - he was a long way out.

Put the header in the middle of the goal. Sticks it in the corner and it’s a goal.

 

[Wolftone]

Great cross by Hoever

Good save

Put a few in last week as well.

 

[Hawkguy]

I would not be shocked to see him come out. That looked ouch.

 

[Jinky]

Agbadou passes it out of play AGAIN.

Christ Almighty, wake up.

 

[Wolftone]

Albion winning

 

[EnglishBob]

Bournemouth are a much better team than us. Let that sink in. We're mediocre almost to a man. We were such a promising team in the Nuno days when Fosun seemed to have ambition and an agent who could get deals done for players with actual potential, but now we're relegation fodder nobody wants to come to. Even Agbadou looks like he regressed.

 

[Wilf Wolf]

So which is the real Agbadou, last year’s version or this? Probably somewhere between the two but hopefully more last year than this or we are in big trouble.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

That looks nasty for Marshal.

 

[thisisgil]

There are potentially six players you'd replace before you got to Sa at this point

Midfield with JRB just hasn’t worked, frankly he looks lost there.

Colour me shocked. One good game since he arrived.

 

[Jinky]

We are turgid. This is shite. Nothing is clicking anywhere. Has Arias even touched the ball? And he’s the player we’re pinning our hopes on?

We absolute STINK of relegation fodder.

Maybe a couple more than that but even still evidence suggests he’s nowhere near the level we need

 

[Wilf Wolf]

Throw level with their box - what’s the betting it comes back into our half?!

 

[Jinky]

Here comes Jackson.

Bournemouth fans singing “you are embarrassing” to us. Can’t argue with them.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Plus points, Wolfe has looked better than last week.

Joao's head looks fresh

Erm...that's it.

 

[Hawkguy]

Great first pass lol

 

[thisisgil]

Gutted for Hoever. Our best player this half

 

[Wolftone]

If we can get to half time at 1-0 and make a few changes? At 1-0 We're still in it.

Keep relying on the promoted teams being poor and sooner or later the trapdoor opens beneath you.

You'd think the scare from last year might've focused minds, but no, we look uncompetitive without Cunha and RAN in the team.
