Match Thread Bournemouth away (1 Viewer)

We're much too passive in midfield, need to be on them quicker.

I’d be amazed if we held on for a point here.

We getting battered?

Reminds me of a giants vs minnows FA Cup 3rd round tie so far. Bournemouth quite comfortable knocking the ball around patiently waiting for it to click and we're scurrying around, doing twice the running trying to pressure them, but unable to string 3 passes together before we give them the ball back. Rinse-repeat.

Dabo worries me

Bournemouth 101% possession.

All we do every time is try and clip it over the top hoping Godden will beat 3 of their defenders.

Think it’ll settle down soon, they do transition quick going forward

No Yok = no out ball

They’re like us when we won league 1 which means they’ll win 1-0

Pass to Hyam, pass to Maatsen, pass back into a centre half who is under pressure and hoof it forward.

Over and over.

Half hour gone; we'll have the wind with us in the second half. Moore to score the winner with a punt !

What’s the point of having 4 midfielders if we just bypass them every time we get the ball

Did I just hear Bournemouth fans singing 'wanky, wanky, wanky. wanky Coventry' (how old are they? how old is that song ?)

We look better on the right with COH and Kane. So for some reason COH is on the left

I think most of us on here would get through Kelly and Sheaf quite easily.

Fucking hell Dabo, chill out when it's in our box.

Hamer can be frustrating but he’s vital

Their 32, playing on the left, looks a handful.

Kelly and Sheaf both read the game well but don’t get around the pitch as quickly as Hamer

Sheaf should have smashed that

O'Hare should have played Godden in there.

Kelly's passing has been shocking.

Then why aren't we all playing in the championship?

Dabo looks uncomfortable

I always find the box formation ineffective if you don't have the majority of possession.

If you can't win the ball your two DMs end up on the toes of the CBs, stretching the formation too much. If we do win the ball back, there's no out ball - Allen and O'Hare are having to cover a huge amount of ground against whoever is left from their 5 man midfield with Godden alone against their back 3 without the qualities to trouble them.

The box needs the AMs getting up with and running beyond Godden. You can't do that when your first pass in possession is a 35 metre pass from the edge of your own box.

If they score this will be game over. Will be a proper backs to the wall job to get a point and have to be an incredibly incisive break for us to get a goal.

Fucking hell Dabo, he changed his mind about trying to header it then turned his back and their player was through.

That was close...

Looked close that off side

Not offside for me

Not sure he was off.

It's one of those where if they get 1 they could notch 3 or 4 but the longer we hold we'll start to believe we can get something, especially if we can make it to around the hour at 0-0.
