    Exactly. We rarely play well when Ralls isn't in the team.

    Where are our weakest links?

    central midfield is probably biggest for me.

    Right back.

    Another striker option. Happy with Moore but he needs competition.

    Last 4 seasons without ralls average points
    (compared to overall target)
    20 1.55 (1.58)
    19 0.9 (0.89)
    18 2.11 (1.95)
    17 1. 25 (1.29)

    Not a massive difference but doesn't show him as someone who massively influences games. Our central midfield is much of a muchness and has been for a few years.

    Ralls doesn't do anything to a particularly high standard.

    Not a bad shout as an alternative. But I don't think there's any question that the players should come from Bournemouth.

    Deeney, Hughes and one other from Watford.

    Hughes is a class act, for some reason he's barely been in the side for Watford. he'd do brilliantly for us

    Deeney is being ripped to shreds on Watford’s forum, ‘The Hornet’s Nest’, mind you a lot of them want their manager out through their well oiled revolving door.

    follow up question, would any opposition fans choose 3 of our players?
    Roberts, Ayew, Lowe


    Murphy, Pack, Vassell

    I'm delighted that we've created chances for him and stopped using him as a target man. He has never proven himself as a top striker at this level but carry on as he is and the £2m will be an absolute steal. I'm glad we've worked out a way for him to be effective.

    I’ve watched him play and seen he has all the attributes to be a top striker at this level. Great touch, great movement, strong, good finisher, reads the game well, unbeatable in the air.

    I said when we signed him in a good team he’d get 15-20 goals and I think he’ll easily get that.

    It’s all well and good looking at his stats playing as a striker for a bunch of average teams, but anyone who’s watched him could see he was talented.

    Yet nobody had taken a punt on him. Arguably no clubs would have bothered had he not played for Wales. At 28, you'd have expected him to have made it. I'm not being critical, it's just how it is. Moore has been a bit of a lower league journeyman. He now seems to be fulfilling his potential and who knows where that will lead. Grant Holt was in a similar position then was a big success in the PL. It does happen, not often, but it does.

    Nobody, apart from the 8 or so clubs we beat to his signature. He's getting better and better.

    Just had a look to see how Moore is doing in the goalscoring table, he's currently 4th with 8. But I didn't realise that Adam Armstrong and Ivan Toney are already on 14! That is some going.

    A simple “I was wrong about him” would have done just as nicely...

    Humility is a nice quality
