    Match Thread Bournemouth (H) Easter Monday

    Easter Monday, looks like it’ll be nice weather. Bournemouth fans dilemma: go to the beach and watch via VPN with a cool beer or battle through traffic to go to Coventry. Fair play to those 2200 utter maniacs.

    Player ratings Vs Blues

    We’ve played better and lost and this was one of those games that balances those out over the season. Robins sometimes leaves things too long before making a sub, even “game management” ones in the dying stages to soak up a couple of minutes have their place. The Dabo - Kane sub was enforced...

    Moore 7 Conceded 2. Some good takes in the air and a couple of good running out to claim at feet. Makes me nervous when he hoofs the ball upfield when attackers are near. Overall good. Distribution was mixed. Dabo 7 Not his best game but his marking was good and made a few good...

    I can see Fulham (if/when they go up) seeing Gyok as a stand in for Mitrovic and bidding 10m. Mark this message.

    Deserved an 8 maybe even a 9 for some of his play. Gave away a couple of needless free kicks in dangerous areas and a couple of poor pass selections cost him. He’s improved. If he carries on and develops the sloppiness out he’ll be a Prem player.

    Us scoring last minute equalisers almost feels like a win in the same way that conceding a last minute equaliser feels like a loss. Feels like a win today, obviously.

    Next year Season tickets

    I’d get one for me and my lad and daughter but they both do sports at school up here on Saturday and I’d miss games (5-10) a season when they are playing. Want to do my bit for the club. If they did the season ticket where if you couldn’t make it you could watch on iFollow anywhere then I’d...

    I know I’ve waffled before about this but there seems to be a lack of belief amongst our strikers and attacking mids. How many times do we see Allen or O’Hare make a pass when there’s an opening rather than have a shot? Stat-folk, is there anything to back this up? Self-belief is a huge...

    But I know that in fairness you’ve seen him play a few times. What’s the verdict (not being sarcastic here)

    Couple of times. Last time was v Wigan as a sub for half hour on TV. Looked awkward. There - honesty.

    Many / most young players don’t make it. Our tie in with Warwick University may show many advantages if we can make sure our younger players do some proper study rather than sit in their XBoxes when not training.

    Correction / apology. Hudlin is at University College Birmingham doing Sports and Fitness, not Brum Uni.

    Sorry. Have to laugh. What are you saying? Players can only be good if they’re expensive? O’Hare was free. McAllum peanuts. Bad players? Taking a risk on youth isn’t critical thinking from another dimension. Tell me I’m wrong again?
