Getting the line up @2pm , you knew what we were in for ...no pace in the team , no natural width with a converted midfielder and centre back at wing back. A workmanike midfield then Harris and Bacuna to try to get forward when they could to support Moore off a long ball hoping for a set piece. Bournemouth werent just a footballing team, they had strength and height too (Moore won very little yesterday and they nearly always picked up 2nd ball)on their team and so it proved to be. In our manager's own words post match "we set ourselves up to frustrate Bournemouth and it worked for 65 minutes ..." this is the formula for the season especially the next month of games playing some of the fancied teams!
the ambition is to not go down , let the high earners go , get free signings and hope the youth we have are good enough with the caveat that should they do well a decent offer may come in and we make some money .....understandable as Tan said change to blue and the club has to be self sufficient, he hasn't deviaited from that . People just have to decide if that is enough to make them want to pay to go and watch this season and hope a change if style is an option next season ....
