Example of foolishness we seem to be going in for - instead of taking a second touch to control the ball and send it to someone that can use it BH just hoofs it upfield when Vetokele was the only player upfield and surrounded by about five defenders.
Watching the stream, not a terrible performance with some decent periods but we are really struggling with their pace, Jackson to be subbed at half time surely, considering the yellow card & the clear final warning talk he got from the ref.
Most pleasing performance is from Ahearne-grant, looks lively & skillfull if a little raw, i especially like how often he is directing other players where he wants the ball, great to see a 17 year old striker with the confidence to be doing that IMO.
I am relying on your internet reports. What are Jackson, Cousins, Buyons and Gudmundsson doing? Are they merely staring at the opposition? Half-time, Brian. What will Peeters do? 1-0 down is OK. Plenty of time, lads: push up, for heaven's sake.
Bournemouth are showing us how to play incisive possession-based football. We're looking nervous on the ball but with Gudmundsson, Igor and KAG we also look capable of nicking a goal. Really need to be more composed when being pressed though
Watching some of the refs decisions, it's like a sunday league match when no ref is appointed, so the home team manager steps in for a completely "unbiased" performance. Total homer.........
Watching a stream and at times we are looking all over the place and other times quite in control deffo Jacko off to save him from a red and charlton to get early goal 2nd half and us to win 3-1 !
KAG may have made a mistake or two, but he was lively and provided our only real danger up front. (Getting corners etc) I'm more impressed with him than I was with Piggott, I just hope we give him time to find his feet.
The ref is annoying me a bit, he didn't seem capable of letting the game develop - but he also grew in to the game and his decisions were better towards the later stages of the half.
I agree with those talking about bringing Jacko off, putting Cousins in the center and bringing Moussa on to the left. Then if it's still 0-0 at about 75/80 minutes, bring Gomes on for Cousins and go for..
Think their centre backs look slow so there for the taking if we can control that middle and get at them. Cousins can't cross and neither can KAG by looks of it so through the middle looks best bet.
Watching the stream. We're not doing too bad. Not really creating anything though. I do agree that the centre of the midfield seems to be the weak area. I think Bob might bring KAG off quite early in the 2nd half. I just think it's not working too well with him. A bit raw still. I think Solly is having a good game but can't say the same about Wiggins.

Take Jackson off, stick Cousins in the middle and Moussa out wide on the left. If we get a chance this game is still there to win.
