Good game we are improving.
Would have taken the draw before the game 100%. If we're anywhere near Bournemouth at the end of the season it'll have been a good season
Thoroughly enjoyed his comments tonight. It must be hard for him watching and commenting on his team-mates. I don't know if you noticed that he was trying not to lose it (laughing) after the 'straight into the bread-basket' comment!Quote:

A much more entertaining match than Preston. Bournemouth just had a heel or toe in the right place at the right time. Improving at home and not bad at all for a new line up. I feel we could do a team 3 or 4 nil at some point this season. Glad my 3 nil Bournemouth prediction was off the mark.
Happy with everyone’s performances there. They were better than us but we did well
This. Both halves outside of the box, we rarely win the 2nd ball.Quote:

What game were you watching?Quote:

He’s like a baby giraffe out there, and never looks like scoring.
We haven’t played well, in a single game this season.
In the words of the late great Brucie, Good game Good game.
Both sides went for it but City happier with a point I reckon.
Smithies world class, shot stopping, speed of thought and courage :thumbup:
Have to give a shout out to Ojo this evening after ragging him out the other week.
The guy put in a lot more effort, showed some quality and was instrumental in winning the ball for the goal.
Very good and entertaining second half!
What the hell are you on,it was a good game.Quote:

Taken on board :thumbup:Quote:

Great to see one of our youngsters playing for the 1st team, Harris true to his word, he did well and deserves a run in the team? Wouldn’t have happened with Warnock!Quote:

I don't think Glatzel is that bad - He looks like he causes problems but he never looks like scoring which for a centre forward is a bit of problem
Bagan was nervous at first but got better - hopefully Bennett is back Saturday - Warnock will definitely try to exploit him
Morrison and Nelson were good again but Smithies was outstanding that save onto the bar was amazing
Wilson was our best outfield player but MOTM was Smithies

A very good point and an entertaining game, Bagan did well and an excellent finish from Wilson
Great point in an entertaining game. They were better but we were never out if it. I like Glatzel but Moore is our best striker. I think Bournemouth have the best squad in the league. We’re lucky Brooks and King were missing.
I wouldn’t swap Smithies for Pickford. We’re lucky with keepers.
Wilson could go on to bang 10-15 goals for us!
We were poor and got away with a fortunate point. Bournemouth were the better side. Again we gave the ball away far too easily and looked very lightweight upfront especially in the first half. We were better towards the end but didn't really look like scoring.
Am I the only one that thinks Smithies was a bit lucky that the shot was straight at him? Great reflexes, but should never have been in that position.Quote:

if one of our senior fullbacks put in that exact performance, there would probably be one or two gripes but aren't there always.
hopefully he's given the chance to build on it.
No. It was still a good save, but as you allude to, all he had to do was stick his arms out.Quote:

We were poor. Wilson apart, no creativity, can’t create any chances, can’t keep possession.
Haven’t played well or looked cohesive in any game this season.
The team are even poorer to watch than under Warnock. Compared to this dross, Warnock’s was champagne football.
Bournemouth were decent, but let’s not forget, this was a team who didn’t even have a shot on target home to QPR on Saturday.
Even Millwall are above us and in a Playoff place, and they’ve spent peanuts. Not the luxury of a few million like Harris has.
This team won’t make the Playoffs, unless there’s a change of manager.
Glatzel hasn’t scored in 10 games, and never looks like scoring.Quote:

Which I’d say is a big problem, for a striker.
Should have tried to offload him to Sheff Wed for £500,000, instead of Paterson.
Paterson offered far more of a threat when the ball was in the box.

Or is it that because hes a good keeper, instinctively he knew the best position to be in.Quote:
