Bournemouth - Nottingham Forest

[wassy04]

We need at least 1 experienced centre back and 2 full backs who can defend on the pitch.

Right now we have none of the above.

13th goal conceded from a set piece apparently.

Have we ever not had an issue in the full back position? Even in the promotion season we had Colback playing LWB for large parts of it. 

We do actually have a surprisingly deep core or CBs if all are fit/available. Be interesting to see who is first choice when all are available. Boly/Murillo? Aina obviously missed a lot too.

[wassy04]

We are not short of options from the bench when it comes to defenders. Surely having either niakhate or fillipe on there with one of the younger lads would be better. Both, I believe, have bright futures but you need a bit of know how to help organise them.

Presumably Felipe not considered fit enough to play 90 minutes. Be good to see him start in midweek. If we could somehow get him playing again would be massive.

First twenty minutes, all Bournemouth

Roll on the championship.

That’s the spirit

Williams Montiel and Tavares would all look better in a back 5. All of them dodgy defensively. I would have Toff and Aina as the first choice two in a back 4 although that would hardly fill me with confidence either.
Compare with last year, Lodi and a fully firing Aurier, nobody can persuade me that we are currently stronger.

Frustrating, defending set pieces is awful, final third just poor with the ball

You could probably argue that all 4 current starters are worse than last year's options. Definitely with todays starters!

CHO!!!

[Salvatore Matrecano]

At last CHO shows what he can do. So much quality to him when he can be arsed.

[wassy04]

Great finish, hopefully he can build on that

He's had a lot of touches today, been much more in the game than Elanga so far.

CHO shown the class we were expecting, great shot.
